The Ending & What we may have missed(Obvious Major Spoilers)


Just some thoughts after watching the movie: About who was pushing Jesse's wheelchair in the ending, and how Jessabelle got her "adult" figure&mind,

1. This movie presents the voodoo aspect of possession by spirits, inviting those spirits to possess you and etc. In the end we know that there was a ritual to bring forth Jessabelle's spirit, and we know about Jessabelle and Moses having "shrines" and sacrifices made for them to come back. We also know that Kate (Jesse's "mother") was no stranger to voodoo as well.

Now, given this knowledge, can we assume that before her suicide, Kate had a ritual done for her to come back as well? In the ending, Are Moses and Kate's spirits actually possessing other people (other voodoo followers) who invited them? When Preston sees Jessabelle in the car - is she possessing another living person so she can be visible? Otherwise, why would Preston be able to see a ghost, and why would Jesse suddenly be able to see Kate and Moses so clearly?

I know that this is a supernatural movie and all, but since we were given all the voodoo info, I figured there must be more to it.

2. How Jessabelle didn't stay infant in her mind and came back as an adult:
Judging from the huge voodoo ceremony portrayals & Preston's words, the town has voodoo everywhere and it had a huge following going on. Maybe the invitation of those specific spirits has been going on for a long while before the story's timeline, and maybe letting the spirits take over also meant enabling them to receive knowledge and develop while they're around. That way, Jessabelle could've been educated&updated, as well as maybe temporarily reunited with Kate & Moses.

It's complicated, but we were given the voodoo background and capabilities :)


I'd love to hear what other people think about this! Thanks for reading...
