This Is How The Haunting Of Bly Manor's Ending Can Be Explained

*SPOILERS LIE WITHIN*

The ending of The Haunting of Bly Manor left some viewers a bit confused - with many wondering if Dani had actually returned when she put her hand on Jamie's shoulder.

The final image of the Netflix series, a new series from the team behind the immensely popular Haunting of Hill House, gave people hope that the two lovers had been reunited in some way - if not literally, then at least spiritually.

But, as is an ongoing theme through the show, it seems that the persistence of memory is more likely to be behind the appearance of Dani's hand on Jamie's shoulder - the very final shot of the touching final scene.

Jamie - who turns out to be the narrator of the whole tale - has a conversation with a grown-up Flora on the eve of her wedding, just after the rehearsal.

After telling the tale, she tells Flora - who has no idea that she is part of the whole thing - that it's not a ghost story, but a love story.

She talks about the 'easy silence' that the couple enjoyed - it implies that while Dani may be dead, having sacrificed herself to save Jamie, she will live on in Jamie's memory.

If you still haven't had enough of Bly Manor, which landed on the streaming service on 9 October, you can actually speak to Flora on the phone.

Well, kind of.

Yep, the spooky series has broken through to the real world after one fan worked out that if you call the number in the advert for a new nanny, the pint-sized creep that is Flora answers.

One fan who'd called the number, Kayleigh Scott, said: "Anyone who's watched The Haunting of Bly Manor, have you tried calling the number in the ad to apply for the Nanny job?! (It's answered by Flora). This is creepy and quite cool!!"

And if you don't believe us, you can watch it in the video above.

Netflix shared the ad on Twitter in the run-up to the show's release, inviting people to apply for the au pair position that is ultimately filled by Victoria Pedretti's Dani Clayton

After a solitary ring, Flora answers the phone, saying: "Hi, you've reached the Wingrave family at Bly Manor - we're not here right now.

"If you're calling about the open nanny position, interviews will be conducted by our uncle Henry in five days.

"It will be perfectly splendid. We can't wait to meet you."

A gimmick? Well, yeah. Creepy? DEFO.
