* Peter himself was described in many reviews as the true scariest part of the show even before he dies, with the RealismInducedHorror of a violently jealous and {{Gaslighting}} boyfriend, made all the more unnerving for being played by the same actor as sweet, gentle Luke from ''Series/TheHauntingOfHillHouse''.

* Some of Miles' interactions with Dani are very uncomfortable because of the sexual undertones, which are highly inappropriate for his age and leads one to wonder where the hell he learnt this behavior. It gets even more disturbing when it's revealed that the ghost of Peter Quint has been possessing him, so it's highly possible that during these times, it was actually Quint being creepy towards Dani ''while'' in the body of a child.

* During Peter's plea to Miles and Flora in the attic, he loses his temper and suddenly pulls out the aforementioned faceless woman in an attempt to guilt them into helping him by illustrating the fate in store for him and all the ghosts in the manor. It is underlined by Peter acting more monstrously then most of the grotesque ghosts, and is a more realistic fear of a trusted adult grooming the children to his own benefit.

* Ever have a guilty conscience about something? Just be happy that it didn't appear as {{Doppelganger a doppelganger}} and start [[BreakThemByTalking tormenting you about all the bad choices you made with psychotic glee]]. While Henry has much to atone for, watching as the Doppelganger just keeps twisting the knife is so unsettlingly brutal that it's hard not to feel a bit sorry for him.

* The hidden ghosts are back, standing in eerie silence in dark corners, unseen by the characters and occasionally vamishing between shots. The PlagueDoctor ghost is especially unsettling given his creepy get-up.
* Some of Miles' interactions with Dani are very uncomfortable because of the sexual undertones, which are highly inappropriate for his age and leads one to wonder where the hell he learnt this behavior. It gets even more disturbing when it's revealed the ghost of Peter Quint has been possessing him, so it's highly possible that at these times it was actually Quint being creepy to Dani ''while'' in the body of a child.
* Dani goes down to the cellar and as she leaves, the camera lingers a little too long on a collection of old porcelain dolls. And then one of the dolls heads slowly turns...
* Flora goes into the attic while playing hide and seek, and starts softly singing to herself. Then another disturbingly husky and raspy voice joins in, and an out-of-focus figure starts moving in the background. A bit later, we get a better look and see that it's a ghost without a face, followed by the show messing with our expectations as rather than a JumpScare of it attacking Flora, she simply turns around and ''shushes'' it, not fazed at all.

* The truth behind Rebecca's apparent suicide. Peter talked her into letting him permanently possess her, and he used it to walk her into the lake and kill herself so she couldn't leave him. Worse, he gives control of the body back to her right as she's drowning and leaves her to experience her death all alone.
