I'm no expert on water tables, water seepage, or old cemeteries, but one thing that I found a bit strange was that as David made his way to the place in the old cemetery where the woman's voice was luring him, he had to cross a small stream -
- or some such. Now, would there really be any sort of natural body of water in a cemetery? Wouldn't the graves be potentially in danger of damage from water seepage (and isn't that a main reason a place like New Orleans puts its graves above ground in its cemeteries)? But maybe we're not supposed to think about that. Though the interesting thing is that David crossing the water is not in the script. In fact, the scene isn't even scripted to take place in the old cemetery - it's supposed to take place in woods near the Old House. So, one might presume it was something director P.J. Hogan came up with when he was staging the scene.
Granted, it's effective - but...
