Only somewhat. As the film deals with ghost encounters, one character questions if another is lying about them. There's also a character who presents his arguments as more rational than the main paranormal scientist, but no one ever succumbs to the gaslighting that occurs.

Many scenes are slow and tense in a way that forebodes a jumpscare, but none ever occur. There are some noises that are somewhat sudden.

SPOILERS:



At the end of the film, one of the main characters is lured into a short closet underneath the stairs and the door shuts behind them. This closet has been established to be unopenable from the inside. There's no prolonged claustrophobic scenes whatsoever, but the implication could be triggering to claustrophobic viewers.

No homophobic slurs, but the revelation that the spirit while alive believed he was possessed by a woman and wore women's clothes, in addition to being a child molester, can be considered transphobic.

one of the reveals involves the ghost being referred to transphobically and connects it to their being a danger to the family, so while the misgendering is a little unclear i guess, there is definitely transphobia
