What Lies Beneath/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • In a mix of this and funny, the Feur family subplot. Much of what was known before Claire's accusation was, that they were new neighbors who would get into loud arguments at daytime and wild equally loud sex at night. So loud that as a joke Claire and Norman suggest they have sex too, just to see who's the loudest. The next day, Claire meets Mary Feur, catching her crying in her own backyard. Concerned, she tries to talk to Mary, but Mary can only give vague hints regarding her husband Warren. Implying that their relationship is severely abusive. He comes back before she could say anymore and the day after their conversation, Mary goes missing and Warren is alone. When Claire gets her first haunting, she assumes that the ghost is Mary and naturally assumes Warren killed her. It wasn't until stress from the next haunting, that Claire publically confronts Warren about it, only to see Mary walk up to him much to Claire's shock. At first it seemed as though she may have humiliated herself and alienated her new neighbors, but the heartwarming and funny resume. On the heartwarming side of things, Mary explains that they have an intense but loving relationship and even apologized for scaring her regarding her absence. Later on at a party, he sees the two in a friendly conversation, when they see her, they smile at her warmly before Warren teasingly pretends to try to kill Mary. Funny if not a bit mean spirited, but it becomes heartwarming, because it shows that they are cool with her.
