“Do you know why certain houses make people feel uneasy?” Nisa rolled her eyes and cut in. “Because they’re obviously haunted?” “No. It’s because we can’t tell whether they’re actually a threat. I heard it on a podcast. If you were to open the door to Hill House and see a dead body, or a collapsed ceiling, you’d refuse to enter. But nothing here is obviously wrong. It’s just all slightly wrong. Which makes it harder for us to know if it’s safe.”
