Didn't Amy fall down the stairs of the attic while taking Ernest's birthday present?

Jesus! How the hell did I miss that.. I now went to check for the 7th time and Ernest really said somethin' like :"She fell through the window" (the sounds in the attic). Wow! I always thought she fell down the stairs because the voices started as you start climbing the staircase. Thank you, Adversary for making me notice that!

And the scene where Mary talks to jamesq it didn't happen. It was James' thoughtsq an interior emotion of forgiveness, represented by what he could only see as an atonement: a last apology conversation with his deceased wife.
Even though James never meets them, and they don't behave like memories. And they're ghosts.

Also, there's atleast one ghost in SH3, and there's SH4, and there's whatever the fuck is going on in Homecoming, and Alessa astral projects so that implies souls atleast.

Ghosts exist, deal with it.

I'm of the opinion that the Mary we see at the end of SH2 was in fact the real deal, and in the flesh, brought back to life by the powers of the town so James could talk to her one last time before he leaves...I never bought the idea that the final conversation with her at the end of the game was all in his head. It just didnt seem fair for him to go through hell and not be able to see her again...

I think it's "in his head". Like when we talk to our dead relatives and ask them for forgiveness if we were mean to them before they died.... The gamers needed to "see" the scene so they'd know it happened. It was real to him, but not really real. :?:

This whole series is so complicated!

This sounds good, too, though.

It's a manifestation of Mary.

I agree with the manifestation part. James and we needed to see that scene so we'd know it happened. And I don't believe she's a ghost. I usually never accept these kinds of explanations whatsoever.
