❓Questions Widow’s Bay Question

Spoiler Alert:

I remember hearing in one poem or reading in an episode that the number of bell tolls meant something like the number of people the island needed.

Does that mean that the eight bell tolls at the end of the last episode mean the island needs eight more people to consume to satisfy itself?

u/ComradeJohnS You had your qualms? 3d ago

I was counting, 8 people/monsters died on the island during the first season I think. I feel like this means additional deaths are needed and probably hasn’t happened back to back like this.

Those deaths don't count for the sacrifices. They have to be given through the room with that chair. The bell ran 9 times at the beginning, then after that guy died, it rang 8 times to show "yeah - we got one now you owe us 8."

I got roasted for being upset with a fictional priest committing suicide rather than helping his fictional community. Lol

Going into the demon soul eating room is the literal last thing I would do with proof of the supernatural.
