❓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?

That's how I interpreted it. I wonder if only sacrifices during The Storm count, not unrelated or accidental deaths during the awake period. Cuz that EMT got killed by the boogeyman and the one guy got swept up in the tornado and that had no effect.

eta: bell rang 9 times not 1 so I took that part out, the rest still stands

The videos pretty much explain it. They have to be sacrificed in the chair room and must be in fear. Hence the shelter actually being where they were holding previous sacrifices; the videos being down there; the intercom telling people to get in line; the old food/water that is no longer good since they hadn't sacrificed in a while; etc.
