I am a big movie buff and I noticed that the storyline concerning Hurley and the fact that he see’s dead people sounds a lot like the plot from an old classic movie called Harvey. This movie starred Jimmy Stewart back in 1950 the plot was about a man who saw a 6 foot rabbit and he ended up being placed in a mental hospital by his family. His family ended up taking control of all his assets. I also found out that the six foot rabbit he sees was inspired by a mythological creature called the Puka. The Puka is a creature that appears to wayward travelers. In this movie it appears as a rabbit but in mythology it usually appears as a black horse. This movie to me seems to be the inspiration for Hurley’s character as well as the encounters Kate has with the black horse. Please let me know what you think of my theory?

I think your theory is pretty good! I would have never thought about the movie Harvey like you did, so I’m impressed. One small correction is that it’s actually a pooka (not Puka). No biggie, though. I actually found a post on this movie at Peterman’s Eye…I enjoyed reading it and thought I’d share.
