Yeah, I deliberately left it ambiguous. I will say this, though. Charlie is not real, or at least, not as we perceive reality. Whether he is some sort of demon who has decided to torment the men of this family, or whether he's a shared psychosis is something I'd like to leave ambiguous, and frankly, I'm not even sure myself. I've had nightmares so realistic I'm certain they're repressed memories, but they can't be because they involve things that cannot exist, and that others do not remember. Am I remembering a hallucination, or something so horrible my mind cannot accept it?
