Malone’s comments from the Stranger Things group.

Shining
In the tv show Lost, none of the survivors of the crash thought anything odd of the island they had crashed on. But as time went on, the signs of a higher power became hard to ignore. While islanders like Jack Shepard tried to make logical explanations for the events that were occuring, others John Locke embrace the weird and accept the islands power.
In Stephen King’s The Shining , weird events like deaths of the previous caretakers of The Overlook, and Danny’s ability to “shine” make it hard to dismiss the supernatural. Jack is told that the previous caretakers of the inn died in a murder suicide involving a child and its parents and alcohol. Initially, Jack brushes it off and says that his drinking problems are in the past and that there. King is foreshadowing the weird that would happen later in the book.
King also gives the reader a peek into the future in chapter eleven page 115 when The Overlook’s chef Hallorann notices Danny’s ability to shine. Hallorann’s observation explains the weird events that happened previously such as Danny’s fainting spells.
While many try and deny the supernatural at first not everything can be denied.
