While waiting for someone to call me back [they never did] I figured I'd wait in the comfy chair and watch whatever Dad had been watching until the phone rang or Dad came back. He was apparently watching Ghost Ship. After the initial "Oh Cuuuuuuuuuuuuupid from Xeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnaaaaaa" moment, I settled down and tried to figure out if missing most of the movie would be a good thing or not. Anyone who actually watched the whole thing, could you explain why the hell everyone on the ship died originally? I was doing my best to keep the nephew from seeing the flashback murder scenes, which were awesome to me, but I'm thinking not good for little kids, but I didn't get why. And I know at least... Al, I think? Saw the movie. So... um, explain? Cuz I'm confused.
G'ah, sneezing fits!

I must've been watching at the same time as you!

So he has to tempt them (with the treasure) and then kill them. That's why he was the only survivor of the ship that the Antonia Graza picked up the treasure from. Because he took over that ship, and then transferred himself to the Antonia Graza, and then used the wreckage to lure more souls in.
Does that make sense? I feel like that was convoluted, even for me.
