(INSERT). I believe this was a smart move on the part of Dr. Montague because he picked assistance that have already had something special happen to them. He did this to ensure that he would have the best possible chance at catching something supernatual in the house, which is perfectly acceptable. The only way he could have made the experiment more professional was to pick a person who has had no past encounters with the supernatual to see if that would help out (he did have Luke Sanderson there which could count). The second thing that Dr. Montague did that I believe was professional was when he thought that it was at the risk of Eleanor’s health he sent her home. There were times that Dr. Montague could have possibly sent Eleanor home at an earlier time but he decided to keep her (and she refused to go). I see it being completely okay that Dr. Montague kept her at the house because he couldn’t quite prove that the house was effecting Eleanor’s health and also it would have messed up the exsperiment if he didn’t have a reason to send her home. When Dr. Montague notices how deeply wrapped up Eleanor had become by the ghosts of the house, he insists that she leave for her own safety. For this reason I do not believe that it was Dr. Montague’s fault that Eleanor had the wreck and died. My answer to the second question, “Does any of the reported activity at Hill House stike me as possibly being papanormal?” I would say yes, I do belive that some of the activities that happened at Hill House could have been paranormal.
For starters, the night where Eleanor was in the room at night and then heard the small, sad cry of a child. The child’s cry breaks Eleanor’s heart, and she screams for it to go away. The scream send Dr. Montague in who turns on the lights. Eleanor thought her hand was being squeezed that whole time by Theodora, but Theodora is nowhere near Eleanor (INSERT). I believe this could have been paranormal because after she noticed that Theodora wasn’t holding her and she still felt the pain in her hand and something had to have caused that
pain. Another thing that I believe could have been paranormal was the situation when Theodora and Eleanor are aruging while moving deeper into the forest. All of a sudden the two women come across a ghostly family having a picnic near the brook. The two women run back to the house and try to explain to Dr. Montague what they just saw but neither of them can exsplain it. I believe this could be paranormal because both, Eleanor and Theodora saw this. Also, one of the many reasons why ghost stay on Earth is because of love. I believed this family could have loved eachother and their picnic spot so much that they could have just stayed behind on Earth. After my investigation I conclude that Dr. Montague did conduct his exsperiment professionally because the way he picked his assistants and because he did what was best for his assistants when it came down to it. I also believe that Hill House could have actual paranormal activities occurrening. Case closed.
