Question: What was Ramsley trying to accomplish when he summoned ghosts to the mansion after his crime was exposed?

Cody Fairless-Lee

Answer: He still had control over them, that's why they've never been able to move on.

Question: Why exactly didn't Ramsley want Master Gracey to marry Elizabeth? What would've happened to him, the mansion, or Gracey himself if he married her?
