The Sixth Sense

Factual error: It is not possible that little girl (Kyra) would just be buried without investigation; every non-natural death (especially from young person) requires autopsy, it's routine. During autopsy, they would have seen that she was poisoned and an investigation would have started. Police would go around asking questions like who was feeding Kyra most of the times. I'm not saying that they would discover her mother as the murderer so easy, but she wouldn't just be buried in 2 days like her death was normal and usual.

Continuity mistake: During the "I See Dead People" scene, Cole is facing Malcolm and a tear runs down his face. When Cole turns away, his face is dry with no trace of a tear.

Trivia: The doctor that treats Cole after the incident at the birthday party is played by director M. Night Shamalyan. Interesting about this scene is that Shamalyan came from a family of doctors, including his wife who is one. He also at one time wanted to become a doctor before he decided on a career in filmmaking.

Question: Why does the female ghost in Cole's house keep on opening the drawers and cupboards?

Chosen answer: She lived in the house and is repeating actions she took so many times during her life, as if trying to relive it.

Brenda Elzin

Answer: Traditionally, ghosts that are angry will do things like open all the cupboards just to try and be noticed, or to mess with people. And maybe she is looking for food that is not there because her husband is a terrible man who does not give her money to buy food, but always gets mad because she has not made dinner, so she is always looking for food in the cupboards.
