Corrected entry: Nell really must have been a psychic or something. Throughout the entire movie she suddenly knows things that she couldn't have known. Such as that Crane was a mill worker and employed children. This was only a joke made the night before by the blonde guy. Then she guessed she was the great granddaughter of Crane and then she knew that Crane built the house for the children to play hide and seek in. Where did she learn all this stuff?

The Haunting (1999)
Correction: In the movie, Eleanor is said to be Hugh Crain's granddaughter. That is not possible. Both of Crain's wives were killed, and his only daughter was Abigail. Abigail had no children.
Eleanor is the granddaughter of Carolyn. Carolyn was Hugh's 2nd wife.

Correction: Firstly Nell discovers that Crane employed children in a mill because she finds the big ledger in the secret room behind the bookcase. Secondly, Nell discovers she is related to Crane because of (a) the portrait of Caroline, who looks just like her and has the same necklace (b) the scene where Nell is shown to bear resemblance to Crane's previous wife in the Carousel Room. As the film develops we see how Nell gathers her information. If you took the time to watch the film closely you would know this.
