The Sixth Sense (1999)

Continuity mistake: Before Dr. Crowe first speaks with Cole, he is sitting reviewing notes and when Cole comes out of the apartment, Crowe flips to the notes on Cole. The camera is in tight, and moves to close ups of words on the page. Later when translating the Latin Cole was saying, we see a large part of the page, and it is obviously the same page from earlier, including the words that were zoomed in on. Problem is it starts by describing how they first met in a church, which when Crowe was first reviewing the notes had not yet happened. It also describes Cole saying things we don't hear him say in the church. It is obvious from the greeting that the meeting in the church we see is the first time they meet, so how did Crowe have a written description of an event that had not yet happened? There is no indication that ghosts forget events they do after they died, so it wouldn't make sense that this isn't the first meeting, and Crowe just doesn't remember.
