Did anyone else watch this? Thoroughly creeped out.

I need to know too! If anyone is giving out the answer could you pm me as well?

TwoIfBySea · 25/11/2012 22:18

Was watching this with dts1 & 2 and at the end I was convinced the older guy was the creepy young guy - especially after the flashback to what they did with the poor teacher. That Percy was waiting for her was so sad. Dts1 thought she had taken Stefan and run away and that is why Stefan's body wasn't found and she hadn't returned! I think I prefer his version although not as dramatic!

I think Stefan doesn't look too distressed because if he has lived as a Jew in Germany then there can't be much else he can go through so maybe he detaches his feelings. That's what I'm telling myself at the thought of that cane.

Would be interested to know if the ending was different to the book?

ToffeeCaramel · 25/11/2012 22:20

Did you notice that when Augustus walked down the stairs in his pants and pushed bully girl down the stairs that he had red cane marks on his own back?

oooggs · 25/11/2012 22:21

Hmm, may have to watch it on catch up again tomorrow

ToffeeCaramel · 25/11/2012 22:26

I was less scared today, which was partly because there was less ghostly action and partly because i was distracting myself a bit by looking on the net. i didn't want to scare myself as much as last week and end up having another nightmare!

blisterpack · 25/11/2012 22:33

I don't think Maurice was creepy at all, as a boy I mean. He looked like a tortured soul. But it seems like as an adult all the abuse has caught up with him and he's a total psycho.

I think even abused children are like Stephan in real life. i.e. distressed only when being punished but normal otherwise in spite of everything. It's what I've observed when seeing pics in the news of children who have died after horrific abuse. They seem quite normal, even smiling broadly at the camera.

thenightsky · 25/11/2012 22:35

ToffeeCaramel Yes, I noticed the wheals down his back. Is it the sister do you think?

colleysmill · 25/11/2012 22:37

Thanks to the power of the internet Percys mum has been in Shameless, midsommer murders, doctors and silent witness (so quite a bit of stuff I watch really!)

Has been driving me crazy

TwoIfBySea · 25/11/2012 22:40

Is that the whacking noises that the bully girl heard when she was snooping around? He was perhaps doing it to himself.

I'd say Maurice was creepy as he seemed to take malicious delight in taking Stefan for punishment in the last episode and he kept silently watching the teacher.

shrimponastick · 25/11/2012 22:43

ooh excellent episode tonight.

Not as spooky ghosty, but superweird.

Love it.

I noticed that he had cane marks on his back. he probably canes himself i think

RiaOverTheRainbow · 25/11/2012 23:02

I thought the marks were scars from when he was a child, it didn't occur to me they might be recent.

I didn't think it was as good tonight! Can't say why really...just wanted more of Cameron I think.

Moln · 26/11/2012 00:11

Bit unhygenic dumping a body in their drinking water.

Can see the story line alright but can't figure out for love or money how Cam's involved or maybe his mum (re the dream she had way before moving there)

I need someone to tell me what the thing is with the fingers? I can't figure t out

RiaOverTheRainbow · 26/11/2012 00:12

I think they both have different length little fingers, so they're psychic.

There is no freaky fucking way I'm watching next weeks episodes I had nightmare all last night really horrible ones about the children calling out for help as he approached. Sad
Please could someone PM me the ending.

SoupDragon · 26/11/2012 08:05

Do you think the old guy might be the older orphan boy, the way he looked at the door?

The Paranormal guy? I thought that.

colleysmill · 26/11/2012 08:19

When I woke up in the night (too scared to go to the bathroom!) I was also wondering about the Vicar who clearly has an issue with Percy. I wondered if he might be stefans son.

And then I got a bit silly and wondered if Percy had Cam aswell as the dog!

wannabedomesticgoddess · 26/11/2012 08:31

Im going to re watch both episodes today as I missed large bits in this noisy house!

I dont know why percy has the dog? To protect it?

I think the paranormal man is linked to the house in some way. And I think he has Cam.

Furball · 26/11/2012 08:43

But how much of a coincidence would that be, they aren't local so lived far enough away to have to move there with Gabes work?

Furball · 26/11/2012 08:46

I thought the paranormal man could be stefan, as the older boy said he was a a couple of years younger than Percy so couldn't join the army yet.

MorrisZapp · 26/11/2012 08:50

To me, the good looking husband is the weak link in a high quality cast. He's eye candy, but totally wooden.

Furball · 26/11/2012 08:51

and with names like Augustus and Magda - they sound Polish type names? so are they too refugees or similar like Stefan?

Furball · 26/11/2012 08:51

meant the Cribbens

wannabedomesticgoddess · 26/11/2012 08:52

Yeah, thats the only flaw in my theory. He couldnt have known they would move there.
