Characters doubt their and each others' experiences, but no one purposefully gaslights anyone in the actual sense of the word.

There is a discussion of emotional/religious child abuse that may or may not have taken place in the house's history, and a character mentions having experienced corporal punishment.

Hauntings occur and the fear of that is described. Also, the main character begins to not trust a friend and includes that internal thinking of mistrust.

It doesn't seem to have been a big part of some readers' experience, but it was in mine. Discussions in the house's history, and an attempt and follow-through later in the book.

A brief scene describes a vandalized room and talks about how it must surely be paint instead of blood.
