    In the Neil Gaiman novella Coraline, the evil entity known as The Beldam, or Other Mother, was known for kidnapping children and feeding off of their souls -- something that she's done to innocent kids for centuries. At first glance, not much is known about the three victims featured in the story, but I've dissected the book to learn everything I can about these ghost children.
    In this video I'll be analyzing these spectral inhabitants of the Other Mother's world: The Ghost Boy, The Tall Ghost Girl and The Goth Ghost Girl (also known as The Sweet Ghost Girl in the movie).
    I'll be using the clues left behind in the book to tell you about what they might have been like in life, what era each of them is from and how their experiences ultimately helped them help Coraline in her final battle with the evil, button-sewing creature.
    This will cover the entire known history of The Ghost Children from each of their births to the moment their ghosts moved on to the great beyond. Please note that this will only analyze the characters as written in the book. I will show clips from the 2009 movie as a visual aid, but for the purposes of Horror History, the book is canon!

    "My grandma, she owns the Pink Palace, won't rent to people with kids."
    I love that Wylie's grandma took revenge against the Beldam by buying the house and refusing any kids to stay so that she could starve the Beldam to death of her food source. She probably thought that the Beldam was dead by now, hence why she left Coraline stay.

      I read a theory that said that the reason she let Coraline's parents rent the house was because she sensed the Beldam was targeting Wybie (is that how you spell it?), or was going to target him, or she feared so or something, but she let Coraline's family move in to keep the Beldam's attention away from her grandson

    The goth ghost girl wasn't eating the flowers. Honeysuckles have a sweet nectar inside, like honey but watery. Most kids pull the flute/straw like shaped flowers off the vine, break off the ends and suck the nectar out, hence the name Honeysuckles.

    the addition of wybie's great aunt made the whole vibe of Coraline much more upsetting to me (in a good way, if that makes sense...?). While it never scared me, it always made me sad to think about the children who lost their lives. And i think the idea of losing not only a sister but a twin really broke my heart when i was younger. It has always stuck with me more than it should lol but really love it.

      I wonder why only one of Wybies aunts were taken why didn’t the other mother make a double sided doll like she did for Coralines parents to get both and that way the twins could’ve been the 2 lady’s and she could’ve used the other body for the rat man in the attic.

      @@thisdreamisntfeelingsweet3161 I think Wybie's grandmother knew something was up before her sister. In the picture of the two of them, Wybie's grandmother is looking at the doll with a worried/suspicious look. I think she never trusted the other world from the get go, so never entered the door. If both twins went, they may have thought together and realized something was wrong. Isolating one twin by making her feel special and important was probably safer than being greedy and going for both.

Since she refused to rent to people with children, she might know that the Other Mother only targets kids, and it's possible that her sister was buttoned whilst they were both there, meaning she had to escape whilst the Beldam actively hunted her.

      I personally prefer the film, but I feel the film and novel are completely different experience. The book captures more of a childhood horror, akin to walking down a dark hallway as a small kid, while the film captures the feeling of a child being diminished and belittled. They feel completed different. Same story, different feel.

    In the (authorized) graphic novel adaptation of Coraline the "goth ghost girl" is actually a Fae. This is presented by a pair of thin wings in her back. It also explains why she eats flowers, which some of the Fair Folk consume. I also believe there is a passage in the book where she describes her people living long before humans had ever existed.

    I personally think the little boy was trying to remind Coraline to not only appreciate that she's still alive(there are hauntingly sad lines in the movie that the ghost children say, describing to Coraline how they kept wanting more and taking everything the Beldam gave them but they now regret basically giving no thought that she was planning to kill them)that no matter what, if she gets scared or feels that all is lost she has an important reason to remain strong and not give up....it's for the life she still has life? At least that why I would find comfort in the boy reminding me that "Girl, at least ur still alive....now go and fight for it!"

      ​​@@thecookj454 That is true. Very true. When we take the time to look at the story under a more keen eye, it's truly horrific. The Beldam is already a frightening mystery when you think about her monstrous true form. But the ghost children's last days as the living... I get chills down my spine. The horror and the pain they had to go through, they are to be pitied. Even more horrid to think that they couldn't pass into the afterlife, and have been kept in a dark closet for decades upon decades. Their story alone is a true tale of horror, gore and pain.

I thought it made the power of the beldam even more mysterious and terrifying, that she wasn't limited to just capturing human kids but possibly kids of otherworldly roots as well.

    I love Coraline because it’s an amazing movie. The way I found it was through my brother. I remember this (despite my bad memory) one day I think I was around age 2 or 3. My mom took me to go pick up my brother from school. We found his classroom and a classmate of his opened the door we walked inside and my mom found him telling him that he was going home early, But as my mom was talking to my brother I remember the class watching a movie. It was where Coraline was escaping from the other mother. (The spider web scene) I was very interested and a couple years later around the age of 6 or 7 I asked my mom “Hey mom could we watch the movie where the girl was trying to get away from that creepy person?” Of course my mom was confused and didn’t understand what I was trying to tell her. But at the age of 8 I found Coraline (the movie I was talking about) I watched it til the end of the movie. I still watch it to this day. Greatest movie of all time! (Besides the other Tim burton movies)

    The history behind the children was very interesting and I found them sad and yet I think this was a lot of evidence that shows what really happened to the other children before Coraline came into the picture. Coraline had a lot of luck.

    Well, I have a theory I heard on another channel. When Miss Spink and Miss Forcible give Coraline the taffy, there are dates on the top. Those are most likely the dates that the ghost children were born or captured. The first victim was the cat, the father of the grandma’s sister. He survived the beldam, and then tried to protect his kids, but failed. Then died of old age, he turned into a cat in another life and guards his grandson, Wyborn.

    Hold on hold on hold on I thought the tall ghost girl was the first as coraline refers to her as the pioneer girl then the boy was next and then the sweet ghost girl as she was wybies great aunt and wybie and his grandma was still alive in the film, I’m so confused

      ah- you mean the movie. the creator was basing this off both the book and movie. in the movie- i believe the boy comes first, then the pioneer ghost girl- and wybie's granny's twin. in the book, the boy with breeches comes first, then the pioneer girl with the brown bonnet, and then the fairy who eats honeysuckle blossoms.

      @Auggie Calderon ohhhhh that makes so much more sense, I’ve read the book but always thought it was the same, since they made the sweet ghost girl wybies great aunt in the film they must of switched it up to make more sense

    Kinda weird with the ghost boys vocabulary. Since it takes place in Oregon, somewhere northwest/northeast of Portland (because of the moving van saying Portland) his vocabulary is used before westward expansion (his being from the 1750s -1850s) so they should’ve updated it by making him use common words from the 1870s to 1890s as that would’ve been around the time that there would be such expensive houses that far west. But since the original story takes place in England, I guess they didn’t want to stray too far from their source material but that wouldn’t make too much sense because they added Wybie, a whole new character.
