The series began with a narrator telling an assembled wedding party the spooky tale – and it transpired that those at the wedding were some of the same people from the Bly estate.

Flora was in fact the bride, while the narrator was Jamie (Amelia Eve), the gardener who had tended the estate.

We learned that she enjoed a long, loving romance with Dani (Victoria Pedretti) – but the pair never got their happily ever after.

Dani, having taken in the spirit of the Lady in the Lake to save Flora’s life, finally succumbed to her dark impulses and found herself about to strangle Jamie in her sleep one night.

Horrified at herself, she journeyed back to Bly and drowned herself in the lake to put the vengeful ghost to rest once and for all.

Jamie was left devastated and admitted she spent the rest of her years hoping would return to her from beyond the grave.

In the closing moments of the episode, as Jamie sat staring at the door, we saw a hand appear on her shoulder – something that left audiences wondering if the ghost of Dani had made her way to her.

However, Pedretti has officially set the record straight – and it turns out there’s no supernatural element to the hand whatsover.

“It’s a wish. It’s a memory,” she told Collider.

“And the way in which, you know, the ones that we love stay with us and leave an imprint,” she added.

Just when you thought 2020 couldn’t get any bleaker…

The Haunting of Bly Manor left audiences “too scared to sleep” when it first hit Netflix.

However, some fans were frustrated after solving a major ghostly twist after just one episode.

Others couldn’t get their head around the fact that Flora actress Amelie Bea Smith is the voice of beloved cartoon Peppa Pig.

The Haunting of Bly Manor is available to stream in Netflix now.
