-> ->I'm undecided. Initally I believed it to be reactive to the preception of others and I still haven't ruled this out completely. However this theory leaves room for error, like the question about how the door first appeared, in the beginning chapter. And why did Tom get devoured in the house is it because he became terrified of it? I am just not sold, yet.
To further support the claims of the group of a few days ago, pgs. 21-22 talk about exactly that which they mentioned. When we read it (especially the second paragraph on page 21 - manifestations of troubled psyche), we had no idea what any of it meant.
-> -> Just interesting.
-> -> Anyway, what do you all think about the house? Is it alive? Is there a monster? Did all the other people who lived there also see the Great Hall and the stairway, or is even that similarity only because of the radios?

-> I definitely think that all the other people who lived in the house before the Navidson's also discovered the great hallway, but were so overwhelmed by shock and fear that they left immediately without exploring the hallway. But who would ever go down and explore something so strange without anticipating any danger? Navy's curiosity and desire to create a film about the peculiar event is the only reason why they stay, and against Karen's wishes. Any normal person in their right mind would leave as soon as possible. For me, I probably would have gone in one time and as soon as I reached any trouble, my bags would be packed and I would be out of there.
