In _Spell of the Unknown_ we are told that Molly's mother disappeared some
time before the film. At the end of the film, [Spencer appears with a
woman](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgTOYHtN5M4&t=160s) who has a similar
sort of hat to what Molly's mother has in the photograph.

After seeing them, we see Molly mouth something (sorta looks like Mama) and
rush into the woman's arms. Given how much Molly loves her mother he can
probably assume this is her actual mother and not some woman who would become
Molly's step-mother.

But then what happened to Molly's mother that would cause her to disappear
before the film, and then all of a sudden be found at the end?

What happened to Molly's mother?


Although never explained in the film, the guidebooks released with the
Japanese version of the film reveal that she was hospitalised before the
events of the film as per
