My best theory on this is that Janet was a poltergeist. Poltergeists are able to make physical contact with the living. The other spirits couldn’t make physical contact whatsoever including Maddie as we have seen she cannot influence what she does to the real world and to the people even if she could talk to Simon. If i’m not mistaken, I think poltergeist become what they are because of huge deep resentment and anger. I do recall Mr. Martin saying something about turning his back on a student, I assume he got into a heated argument with Janet. We do know both Janet and Mr. Martin died together by the same cause; death by fire. I assume during the fire Mr. Martin had caused, it infuriated Janet even further and caused her to die with absolute pure anger and frustration especially knowing a dying by fire is a very slow and painful death, thus giving her more time to sink in the anger in turn of making her a poltergeist. (I mention it being a slow and painful death because everyone as we know of so far died fairly quickly, not giving them time to ponder over their regret and current frustration) She was filled with so much emotion at once, none of which was a positive emotion. She was possibly so mad beyond repair that nothing she could have done as a spirit would have helped her into crossing into the afterlife, thus causing her to haunt the school and allowing physical contact to the living. Everyone who died as we have seen have died fairly quickly and without deep resentment (even if they did die with anger, like rhonda, it was not that of beyond repair) thus turning them into spirits and have a chance at crossing over. Because Janet was now a poltergeist, I believe that was the reason why she was able to take over Maddy’s body, kicking out Maddy’s spirit. Janet was able to make physical contact to Maddy while she was still alive. The contact was done because of the reason that Janet was no ordinary spirit, but a poltergeist. This season finale was such a mind boggling experience. I’m not at all confident with my theory but that is the best that I was able to come up with to at least give me some sort of closure haha
By far the best theory I’ve come across. I didn’t even consider her being a poltergeist and I wondered how Janet was able to do that but this explanation makes sense. I can’t wait for season 2 😭
Muy buena 👍👍👍 Pero para mí la clave es el señor Martin. El profe chiflado. Ha logrado experimentar entre el mundo de vivos y muertos. Es posible que Anderson ya tenga a Martin dentro de él, ocupando su lugar. Es como una pareja de amantes, ladrones Que han trascendido en el tiempo.... Un toque de LA MOMIA. Buscándole un cuerpo a su amada.
I get it nowwww. omgg! Damn! Janet posessed Maddy's body which left Maddys spirt trapped in the school instead of hers which is why the others never got the goosebumps and what not when Janet "left". Janet never truly ascended. BUT since the professor agreed to help the other girl leave like Janet did I wonder who the next victim would have been. This also explains why he was so mad everyone was helping Maddy get her life and memories together. Sheeshhh
Yes! I just finished it like a hour ago! I think Martin & Janet been working on this “experiment” for YEARS! Which explains all the notebooks/files he got on everyone. Wally and Charley should have BEEN crossed over like dawn but I think those obituaries have something to do with them staying stuck!
It doesn’t make sense, though. Why was Maddie able to hear the ghosts arguing? She had no connection to them. What gave Janet the power to possess Maddie’s body. Why haven’t any of the other ghosts possessed anyone else? Why fake a crime? Janet could have just left town in her new body.
Over Maddy. Technically she's still alive, her body is taken over by Janet's spirit. Maddy's spirit locked up in the school building. Could it be possible that the other teen spirit's bodies were also taken over? If not then that sucks. Over Maddy lost total interest. Mr Martin is where the dramas at. How is he able to control the "reset".... Best be a season two
I don't think the other teen spirit's bodies were taken over because they remember how they actually died. Maddie didn't remember because she never died.
I was thinking it might have been like what Wally was reading from Mr. Martin's notes: recreating a death to stir up someone's trauma and emotion thins the barrier and creates an "access point" aka a chance to get back to either the living world or the world beyond their purgatory (where they go when they "cross over"). Maybe Mr. Martin and Janet were arguing about lighting another fire or maybe teaming up to force another ghost to relive their final moments for the sake of his experiment, and Janet either didn't want to go through it again or didn't want to hurt somebody else, and that's what Maddie overheard. Or maybe they already started reenacting their death and that's why Janet could jump into Maddie's body, cause the barrier was already thin? What are the other possible reasons for them being in the fallout shelter? Either that or Maddie's just got a special ability, like she's a bridge between the physical plane and the metaphysical plane and has unique communication abilities. Which poses the question, was that argument the first time she ever noticed or made contact with Split River High ghosts? so many questions lol I guess we'll just have to wait and see
new idea: maybe Mr. Martin and Janet did successfully thin the barrier and create an access point somehow, and Janet got to see the beyond and "cross over"; but what if she didn't like what she saw? We hear her say in the argument that she "doesn't want to", and calls for help. Maybe Mr. Martin wanted her to go back and tell him more about what's out there. Maybe Maddie only heard them because Janet successfully thinned the barrier. I think Janet got a peak of the beyond and came back because we hear Mr Martin say "We have to find out exactly what happened. What did you feel? You have to tell me." - he wanted her to be his guinea pig, and he was probably going to keep her locked in that fallout shelter until she agreed. So while the barrier was still thin Janet jumped into Maddie's body as soon as she saw her chance to escape Mr. Martin, his experiments, and the beyond. Whatever she saw must have really shaken her up lol
I started this theory in another comment above, but I think it's because Janet successfully thinned the barrier between their worlds and that's why she was able to jump into Maddie's body. Since Maddie isn't really dead, she still has a connection to the one person she shares a bond of true unconditional love and trust with, like she said in her obituary, and the barrier remained thin because of the strength of that connection? or Maybe the barrier stayed thin for Maddie because she's not really dead, and Simon and Maddie's friendship is so strong that they can still reach each other? It may also be a balance thing. A ghost took a live person's body and hijacked a life -- that wasn't supposed to happen, so things are out of whack and there are holes in the barrier, or glitches at the very least, like the "dead" talking with the living.
I liked the build up but the pay off was frustrating. Why was Maddie able to see and hear the ghosts arguing? Nobody on the show can see or hear ghosts except for Simon and that’s because of his connection to Maddie. Maddie had no connection to the ghosts. If it’s just because her mother “killed her spirit,” that’s kind of lame. It’s not the same as dying. People can survive that kind of thing.
Yes! I have that same question! And how was Janet able to possess Maddy’s body AND be at the school with Janet’s spirit and the others. I also think they tried way too hard to make it look like her friend “killed” Maddy. She was acting way too guilty and burning pictures and stuff. All because of money? Idk I think I may have to rewatch the entire show again lol smh
So I'm a little late to the party. I just watched it now. Let me get this right. After reading everyone's comments, you mean to tell me that Janet & Mr. Martin have been stuck down there since 1958 and it wasn't until Maddy opened the door, it freed them. Did I get that right?
I don't think so, because while Rhonda was talking to Wally and Charley, she said they had been pouring their souls out to Mr. Martin's for years. So I definitely think it was just a time and place thing that they were all down there.
Se forma una comparación extraña de 2 parejas, maestro y alumna: Martin & Janet Anderson & Maddie. Es como si fueran una actualización de lo mismo. Entonces Maddie al entrar en las calderas Hizo la transición, Janet entra en Maddie. Pero, no habrá pasado lo mismo después, Martin entró en Anderson ??? Martin parece ser LA CLAVE de todo exto. El doctor loco y sus experimentos. Trascendió la vida y la muerte. Sólo para seguir delinquiendo.
Exactly what I thought. But I was a little confused when I watched The ending so I had to Google it and this is The video that I found..wow need to hurry up with season 2.

Wow good theory

Pero para mí la clave es el señor Martin.
El profe chiflado.
Ha logrado experimentar entre el mundo de vivos y muertos.
Es posible que Anderson ya tenga a Martin dentro de él, ocupando su lugar.
Es como una pareja de amantes, ladrones
Que han trascendido en el tiempo....

Ok and maybe that’s why maddy was able to hear her?
I get it nowwww. omgg! Damn! Janet posessed Maddy's body which left Maddys spirt trapped in the school instead of hers which is why the others never got the goosebumps and what not when Janet "left".

I thought for a second that he was Mr manfredo 😮 with their memories being foggy, I didn't know what else he was lying about
It doesn’t make sense, though. Why was Maddie able to hear the ghosts arguing? She had no connection to them. What gave Janet the power to possess Maddie’s body. Why haven’t any of the other ghosts possessed anyone else? Why fake a crime? Janet could have just left town in her new body.
I figured this out,when it showed Janet running through her body. PLEASE renew this show for at least one more season! Don't end the show this way!!!
They can’t end it this way they CANT 😭
Thier tiktok page made a vid and they said we asked and they will deliver hinting that there will be a season 2 🎉🎉🎉
Over Maddy. Technically she's still alive, her body is taken over by Janet's spirit. Maddy's spirit locked up in the school building. Could it be possible that the other teen spirit's bodies were also taken over? If not then that sucks. Over Maddy lost total interest.

I don't think the other teen spirit's bodies were taken over because they remember how they actually died. Maddie didn't remember because she never died.
need season 2 now
Me too I want season 2 now please please I wanna know what's happen
So who liked that Facebook post that Nicole saw? Was that Janet?
My question is: why could maddie hear Mr Martin and Janet arguing? And why could she see him before Janet possed her body?
I was thinking it might have been like what Wally was reading from Mr. Martin's notes: recreating a death to stir up someone's trauma and emotion thins the barrier and creates an "access point" aka a chance to get back to either the living world or the world beyond their purgatory (where they go when they "cross over").

so many questions lol I guess we'll just have to wait and see

Whatever she saw must have really shaken her up lol
If Janet possessed Maddie, who is the ghost Janet?
Inside Maddie. She left her body I presume
I knew this happened the moment the acid girl said being poses while in hipnosis but how did Janet was able to do so while maddy was awake.
OK, so maddie is a ghost and Janet took over her real body???
YESSSSSS
What I don’t understand is how Janet was able to possess Maddy’s body AND be at the school with Maddy’s spirit
Any theories on why Maddie can talk to Simon?
I started this theory in another comment above, but I think it's because Janet successfully thinned the barrier between their worlds and that's why she was able to jump into Maddie's body.

Anderson & Maddie.
Es como si fueran una actualización de lo mismo.

I just finiahed this & it was so good but can someone please explain this ending to me like I'm 8? 😭🙏🏻
Janet stole Maddie’s body when Maddie opened the door. Basically Maddie is a ghost, and Janet is alive in Maddie’s body
Espero que ésta serie de un giro.
Una mezcla de Bonnie & Clyde
con Imhotep & Anck su namun (La Momia)
There are way too many loose ends left unanswered
Cool
Exactly what I thought. But I was a little confused when I watched The ending so I had to Google it and this is The video that I found..wow need to hurry up with season 2.
maybe mr. martin is collecting souls and thats why he won't let them leave. omg who knows.
Okay but why is he evil
which one is janet
Who is janet ?
She died in the fire with the teacher
The girl who died in the 70's 1972 to be exact... Supposedly.
she died, and her spirit took over maddy’s body. maddy’s spirit is trapped in school with other spirits
@@maniicKITTYYno Janet died in the fire with the teacher Mr Martin in 1958... Dawn was the one that died in the 70's
Bad ending
