Who were the suspects in School Spirits Season 1?
Several characters emerged as potential suspects in Maddie’s killing throughout the first season.
Xavier
At the beginning of the season, Xavier was the prime suspect. He had Maddie’s phone and the motive to eliminate her as he was cheating on her with Claire, whom he wanted to be with. However, his innocence was eventually proven.
Mr. Anderson
Another suspect was Mr. Anderson, Maddie’s supportive teacher. Maddie never believed he could be the culprit, but after Simon investigated his phone, it was revealed that he was in contact with Claire. Nevertheless, his alibi and new evidence cleared him of suspicion.
Claire
Claire, the other girl Xavier was cheating with, was also a suspect. If Maddie were out of the picture, Claire could have Xavier to herself. At the prom, Claire reveals to Xavier that she found out Mr. Anderson was stealing money and had decided to blackmail him to get good grades.
Nicole
Mid-season, Maddie’s best friend, Nicole, became suspicious when she tried to delete evidence from a school computer. Simon confronted her, and she admitted to blackmailing Mr. Anderson with the video she had recorded because she didn’t have the money to attend the same school as Maddie and Simon.
Sandra
Finally, Maddie’s mother, Sandra, became a suspect when Simon found Maddie’s necklace in an envelope that resembled the money. After a heated argument between Sandra and Simon, Maddie recalled her last conversation with her mother. She gave her the necklace back during their fight, and Sandra has had it ever since.
What was the plot twist in School Spirits Season 1?
The big plot twist comes after the argument between Maddie and her mother. In the boiler room, Maddie overhears Mr. Martin and Janet arguing. When she opens the door, Janet runs towards her, and it appears that her spirit enters Maddie’s body.
In reality, a ghost may possess Maddie, and she has been stuck in the afterlife, trying to figure out who killed her. During a recon mission, Nicole, Xavier, and Claire glimpse someone driving away in Xavier’s truck. Nicole takes a picture of the person in the rearview mirror, which turns out to be Maddie. Simon believes that Maddie is a figment of his imagination and gives up.
