4) Why does Adam become so obsessed with the Nason family?
Because of Adam's gloominess when he was a kid.
5) Why didn't the boys ever go in the basement?
Because it had been blocked shut by a couch like someone wanted to keep something from getting out.
6) You should be about 16 minutes into the episode, pause the show and make a prediction: What do you think happened to Virgil Nason and his family?
I think as they mentioned, it was a war time, maybe on one night, the army broke into the room, took all the people in that house and then maybe, killed them...I don't know. I just think that would explain why there were a wallet and an address book.
7) What is it like at Nason Grocery? Is it similar or different from the house?
The Grocery was completely intact. Things were still on the shelves. And there were money in the counter. I think it's different from the house, somehow, I think the grocery wasn't as creepy as the house.
8) Why does Adam take his mom to the house?
He wanted a grownup to see it so that to prove they didn't make the whole thing up and to show how amazing that was.
9) After Mom sees the house, where does she take Adam?
A town cemetery.
10) How do Adam's mom and sister "blow it?" and what happens to the house?
They saw a crib in the house so they decided to take it. But later a boy saw it, and he brought two women that told them they had no right being in the house. Three years later, the house was gone.
12) Adam's mom says "objects have lives." Do you agree or disagree? Why?
I do agree with that because as she said "they are witness to things." They really are. I mean they experience whatever happen with their owners, and after their owners passed away, they are still there, keep "seeing" things as time goes on. They can be there for ever.
13) Around 30 mintes "The Nason's might not be what you expect..." Make a prediction: What do you think they were like?
I think they were a well-known family in Freedom, but somehow, something happened, and maybe it's not a war, the family members had to leave each other.
14) Who is Samantha Thurston?
Jesse and Bertha Nasons's great great grandchild.
15) What were the Nason children like?
Scruffy kids that look like needing to be washed. They seemed like they never went to school.
16) Who does Adam give his box of Nason stuff to?
Samantha Thurston
17) What actually happened to the Nason
After Jesse and Bertha passed away, their child didn't want care about the house and the store. So they just leave them there, abandoned. They just didn't care about the stuff.
18) Do you think the storytelling in "House on Loon Lake" is effective? Why or why not? Did it keep your interest? What factors contributed to the storytelling (example: music) and how did Ira and Company set the mood for the tale?
Yes, I do, because I think it's a lead of the story. It kept me interest because when I first saw the title, I knew it right away, it's about a house. And I don't know why, for some reason, I can feel the sense of misery just by looking at the title, I guess I've seen too many mystery novels. I think the music and the conversation really have contributed to the storytelling. Ira and company set the mood for the tale by playing kind of creepy music when there's a clue of something. And there's other sounds of, for instance, opening the box.
