So I just finished the Halloween episode of season 1, and have kind of an odd question about Moira the housekeeper. So ever since Constance killed her she appears a matron with a weird eye to women, and a sexy vixen to men. So how did she appear to the gay couple that preceded the Harmons when she worked for them? 😕 She’s a matron when she’s talking to Chad at the end, but he’s already dead by then.

Well I finished season 1 and didn’t get an answer. Or any explanation as to why Moira’s the only ghost who’s actually aged since being dead. I wonder what happens to everyone if/when the house is no longer there. Eventually it’s going to get torn down or just collapse into ruins.

> t is claimed that to women she appears as an elderly lady with one working eye (the other is gray and clouded) and a sensible uniform dress but to men, she appears as a beautiful, unscathed young woman with a short skirt and stockings. According to Moira, this is because women’s intuition gives them insight on the true nature of people, whereas men see only what they desire - however, if the man can resist the compulsion to see her as a sexual object, they too will see her as who she is.
