Towards the end the survivors were packing up their things and heading home the mansion was still standing and up on the tower was the spirits of Pam and Joyce watching them as they left and from their on the spirits lived in peace and harmony and I don’t think that place ever got sold so that place was left abandoned and like I said before the spirits got to REST IN PEACE.
