A child is attacked by a malevolent ghost who appears as the corpse of a woman…. Although it’s not shown on screen, at some point she kisses him without consent (his parents find lipstick on his cheek and later Danny himself confirms that the ghost kissed him).

In the first 10 mins, the groundskeeper is telling Jack about a guest who killed herself by slitting her wrists. The scene is played out and we see her removing a razor from the pack
