* AbsurdlyLongStairway: Although the stairs was short, it became such as the Grandmother kept on going back the same landing on the top floor every time she supposedly reached the ground floor. This was a trick done by one of the malevolent spirits and it doubles as a EndlessCorridor.

* MonochromeApparition: Some of the ghosts have this appearance.



* SerialKiller: [[spoiler: Nestor. Who would have expected the friendly caretaker murdered the previous occupants of the house]].
* MonsterMash: Although no other monsters were involved, this deserves special mention due to the following ghosts spotted in the film:
**A burned ghost with brownish-reddish skin, multiple boils, and messy hair. [[spoiler:This spirit was the most malevolent of all because he shook the bed Nina was in and made the bed levitate in the air, grabbed her arm from below her bed, made an electric fan spew blood, and finally appeared to terrify the family. He was apprarently defeated when the mother threw a rosary in to it]].
**A White Lady. [[spoiler:Physically manifested when one of the characters was looking at the mirror]].
**A male ghost in formal attire. [[spoiler: He shows up when Nina notices a bust of soldier move on its own, but thankfully she does not see him]].
**A male ghost in white t-shirt and denim shorts. [[spoiler: Another malevolent entity. He attempts to murder Nina's grandmother using broken pieces of glass while he confuses the said grandmother in a staircase that seemed to never end. He also locks the family in the house. His trick was defeated when one of the characters destroys the glass he intended to murder the grandmother]].

**3 AM. In Uyayi, the killings and the strange happenings occurred at 3 in the morning. The time relates to the deaths of [[spoiler: Angel, Rosing and Trixie, in Salamin, which occurred around 3 AM]]. Melissa's repressed memories caused her to kill people and the ghosts haunting the hospital [[spoiler:were actually manifestations of her own guilt]].
**The humming tune. In the basement where [[spoiler:Melissa apparently kills James]], she hums a tune reminiscent of the "Mockingbird" lullaby. This is explained in Salamin, when Nestor was pursuing Nina/Melissa towards the attic, he was humming the same tune.
**Man Trouble. It seems that the women in [[spoiler:Nina/Melissa's]] family lacks the ability to inspire loyalty from their men. Rosing, her mom, was abandoned by their father in favor of his mistress. Angel's troubled relationship with her boyfriend stems from his promiscuousness. The strain between [[spoiler:Nina/Melissa]] and James' relationship took root when [[spoiler:Nina/Melissa]] learned of James' other failed relationship and maybe spurred on by her own insecurities that he may be (if not already) unfaithful, just as her father was with her mother and her sister's boyfriend was with Angel.
