The Haunting of Hill House - Shirley Jackson, David Warner

Theory (which I haven't yet had a chance to test against everything that happens):

 

 

Hill House isn't haunted, it just has unnerving architecture and interesting history. However, Eleanor really does have telekinesis, and Theodora is telepathic. Neither one of them has control over their abilities. The things Theodora sees and hears are the result of Eleanor's overactive imagination bleeding into her own, plus a bit of Eleanor's own telekinetic ability. Eleanor's telekinetic ability could play into what the men experience, as well.

 

I'm a little surprised Eleanor didn't take it a step further and hang herself in the end, but I realized that one particular line of Luke's, plus the carriage accident, might have played a part in what did happen at the end.
