Norman's uncle's death probably has to do with him being sick. He's seen taking pills and dies brutally.

Not in the traditional sense but sort of. A girl suspected of witchcraft was sentenced to death and her spirit resurrects the court who killed her to get attacked and tortured by the townsfolk as zombies. The protagonist calls her out on this and she is distraught. She’s redeemed by the end of the film, if nothing else.

Someone is seen taking pills. They could be prescribed, but it's uncertain. In the beginning we see a hippie ghost that is implied to be high.

A girl was executed for performing witchcraft and the overall treatment of her and Norman’s power is akin to discrimination. The writer and co-director is gay so it’s impossible that he based these elements on discrimination he has faced or witnessed.
