 Ann believes the figures to be the ghosts of Quint and Jessel , seeking to continue their passionate and violent sexual encounters through Miles and Flora . However , she is concerned to find that others apparently cannot see the ghosts . She then begins to suspect that Miles and Flora , having been groomed by and involved in the activities of Quint and Jessel , may be deliberately seeking to bring the pair back . She resolves to leave Bly , but , when saying goodbye to Miles , learns that he , too , sees the figures . Minutes after leaving , she asks to be taken back . Later , Ann panics , believing Miles and Flora to have left the house . She finds them by the lake , but they are playing roughly ; when Miles pushes Flora 's head under the water , Ann sees the pair as Quint and Jessel . She rushes to intervene , and grapples with the figure which alternates between Quint and Miles . When Ann repeatedly strikes Miles , Mrs Grose stops her , and Flora says that she no longer wishes to see Ann . After ordering the staff and Flora away from Bly , Ann waits with Miles to confront Quint . The pair are scared , but when Quint arrives Ann tells Miles to demand that Quint leave him alone . Miles ( speaking with Quint 's voice ) shouts at Ann , but eventually ( in his own voice ) tells the ghostly Quint that he wishes him to leave . Ann embraces Miles , whose body goes limp .
