by it.

Suddenly, A ghost of The mother appears behind Jessie; Jessie then turns around to face her
mother.
Jessie discovers that her father killed Jessabelle in the past, because Jessabelle was born black,
and apparently, he was not the father of Jessabelle.

Jessabelle and Moses, and adopted a white Jessie to be his child in order to cover his
own crime.
Devastated, the mother committed suicide.

The ones who did a voodoo ritual across their lake, were the men from Moses's church.
Obviously, through the ritual, the church helps preserve their souls after their death.

appears.

down, saying that it's payback for her father's crimes.

against her.

ritual on Jessie.

lake.

then Jessie gives him a passionate kiss.
Preston brings Jessie inside the house.
The sheriff calls out to Jessie, asking her if she's okay.
Jessie only responds that her name is Jessabelle, implying that the real Jessie has been drowned
to death in the lake, while Jessabelle possesses her body and continues to live as a new Jessie.
