Poppy Hill (The house's resident madwoman, recruiting) is a character in The Haunting of Hill House, part of Hill House. Poppy Hill married into the house's founding family a century ago and never left — a flapper-era ghost with a Gatsby wardrobe and a serpent's instinct for grief. Of all Hill House's permanent residents, Poppy is the active predator: she finds Olivia's migraines and motherly terrors and feeds them bespoke nightmares, whispering the 'forever house' logic that curdles love into the story's central catastrophe. The house provides the rooms; Poppy provides the sales pitch.
