Theory about ghost *Spoilers*


I think what the ending indicates is that the Slit-Mouthed Woman isn't so much a singular ghost as it is a reoccuring demon. Think about it: in the scene where the Slit-Mouthed Woman begs her son to kill her, she says something to the effect of: "Kill me or it'll kill you!" It was a bit silly how she'd beat the snot out of her kids, and was then suddenly like, "Oh my God! I'm such a terrible mother!" It seemed to me that perhaps she was possessed by a demon. It would kind of make sense, especially since one of the mothers possessed by the Slit-Mouthed Woman was actually very kind to her children.

ooh when she said "it'll kill you" I thought it was a typo that meant to say "I'll kill you" not "it'll". Good to know.

Yeah, coughing seemed to be the indication they was being possessed, the original mother was coughing before she went crazy at her kids, even the mother who was nice to her kids was saying she was down with a cold all coughing.
