• In order to achieve the shape for the ghost Casey Affleck had to wear several petticoats and a hoop under the sheet.
• When Rooney Mara writes the note to stick in the wall, she was instructed to write something of deep personal meaning to her, and not to share it with anyone. That note remained in the wall when the house was demolished. Since then, Mara claims she has forgotten what she wrote.
• The pioneer girl hums the song 'I Get Overwhelmed' - the song Casey Affleck's character sings.
