Look, I know that just because we, the viewer, knows that we're reading or watching a horror story, doesn't mean that the characters in said story know that. We love screaming "LOOK BEHIND YOU YOU IDIOT!" As we watch our favorite characters fail to notice the serial killer advancing slowly...
Still, Hazel thinks she's in a supernatural story (or at least hopes) so she really has no business touching creepy paint. Lucky for her these floorboards are rotted to shit, so we'll (never?) find out what would have happened if she had touched that goop...
I suppose this is a story that revels in infinite timelines, so maybe someday we could do a one pager on what might have happened...
