Great train of thought! This may be real “tin hat” bonkerism, could the space craft be the Tardis  or a Tardis? Could explain why the blue box doesn’t want to go over to that side of the base?

I love all your theories! Adds so much more to the experience of watching the show. Thank you to all !!!

Here is one of mine- admittedly its more on the micro scale of things…

There is definitely something going on related to magnetic forces. My observations:

1. It was revealed that the ghosts only come out at night time when the base is in power saving mode. One of the bases activities that don’t occur during the night was the constant testing of the magnetic locks on all the bases’s doors. They can still move through the bases walls, so not sure about that one.

2. The ghosts seem to only interact with metal objects.(possible affected by magnetic forces)

3. The doctor also stated that the 4 symbols on the space craft have a magnetic field.

4. Possibly related….There must have been a reason why the missing power cell of the space craft was mentioned and discussed – Perhaps when the doctor went back in time, he used it to do something really clever ? Perhaps it is the source of power that generates these ghosts? Or maybe the doctor did something clever with it to protect the crew from the ghosts (Faraday chamber power, life-support etc)  as I’m sure if the ghosts can manipulate the systems like the time clock) and the communications systems (send more help!!!), they could easily shut down life support- remove oxygen, open all doors and flood internals, close the locks on the Faraday chamber and even pipe Peter Endre’s music through the bases audio systems. Using any of these tactics could easily kill all the crew and create more angry ghosts.

@purofilion: At first I too thought that Cass could be “involved” however after watching this episode another time I noticed that she was standing in front of the space ships engines when the ghost activated them. Moran quickly jumps and pushes Cass out of danger but in turn he gets killed. She would have died otherwise.- perhaps that was the initial plan? buggered if I know. Come on weekend !

@lisa You may be onto something regarding the Dalek nano-genes effect on Clara. Taking it a bit further, do you think Clara could have been affected when the Doctors Time lord regenerative energy was transmitted into all the Daleks on Skaro? While she was inside  the Dalek, Clara may have “evolved” or taken on some of the doctors personality. Perhaps she knows how to read sign language now.

Who sent the message above for help using Morse code? Ghosts or someone who has no voice?

Fascinating episode. Can’t wait for the weekend.

What ruptured the dam ? 3 people fighting a dragon type beast?

The doctor said the ghosts could only manipulate metal objects. Knives, axes, speargun, metal switch, spanner, and even when the corporate ghost was going to attack the group with a chair, it picked it up with its metal legs. Any theories?

Lunn was the only person who didn’t enter the space craft as deaf girl wouldn’t let him. Therefore he didn’t seen the 4 symbols. Is that why he wasn’t killed by the ghost? Or was it that his eyes were closed?

The four words that are constantly repeated, how do we know that it starts with the Dark. It could start with any other of them. It there a pause between the temple and the dark?

Love this episode. Must watch it again. Maybe the Tardis is refusing to translate the writing in the spaceship? Perhaps the comprehension of the writing may lead to actions that pose a threat to the doctor or herself ?
