What are some of the real - life events that might have inspired Hill House based on true story?

There could be old asylum stories. Asylums often have a reputation for being haunted due to the suffering and death that occurred there. The creepy atmosphere of an old asylum could be similar to the house in the movie.

Shirley Jackson was likely influenced by the general cultural atmosphere of the time regarding the supernatural. In many places, there were stories of houses with a history of misfortune or death, and these houses were often thought to be haunted. There could have been a particular house she heard about where people reported strange happenings like doors opening and closing on their own, or objects moving without any explanation. She might have taken these kinds of stories and combined them with her own imagination to create the detailed and terrifying world of Hill House.

Perhaps events related to the empress's rise to power. If it's about a particular historical empress, her ascension, political maneuverings, and relationships with other powerful figures could be real - life inspirations.

It might be inspired by real - life accounts of people getting lost in desolate areas and encountering strange and menacing individuals. There could have been stories of travelers who took a wrong turn and ended up in a place where they felt a sense of impending doom, which was then fictionalized and incorporated into the 'Irul' story.

Well, it could be real - life cases of land disputes. In Gurgaon, with rapid urbanization, there are often disputes over land ownership and development rights. This might be one of the things that inspired the movie. Another possibility is crime related to the new - found wealth in the area. As the city grew, so did the opportunities for illegal activities like extortion, robbery etc.

Well, the real - life disappearances of planes are likely a big inspiration. For example, Amelia Earhart's disappearance has always been a mystery. People have always been fascinated by what could have happened to her plane. This kind of mystery about missing planes and the speculation around it probably influenced 'Manifest'. Also, there are other less - known flight disappearances where planes just vanished without a trace. The idea of these planes reappearing with the passengers having some strange experiences, like in 'Manifest', could have been born from these real - life events.

Well, it could be based on a real - life relationship where a girl brought unexpected joy and change into someone's life. Maybe it was inspired by a situation where a girl with a unique personality entered a rather dull life and turned it upside down, just like in the story.

There could be cases of people who have had near - death experiences and then reported having a different perception of the world, similar to having an extra sense. Also, in some cultures, there are stories passed down through generations about individuals with special spiritual abilities to see or sense things that are not visible to the ordinary eye. These cultural tales might have influenced the idea behind 'Sixth Sense Based on True Story'. Moreover, some people in certain psychological states may experience hallucinations or heightened senses that could be loosely related to the concept in the story.

One possible event could be the historical Arctic expeditions. Explorers faced numerous hardships like getting lost in the vast ice fields, running out of supplies, and battling extreme weather. These real - life struggles could have inspired the movie.

Some possible real - life events could be reports of unexplained noises in houses at night. People often claim to hear footsteps or strange creaking sounds when no one else is around.
