Answer 4

In Stephen King's book The Shining, and in the film by the same name, the title refers to ESP, extra-sensory perception. That's how Danny is able to see the little girls and how John (the father) is able to carry on conversations with people long dead.

It is about a writer who moves with his wife and young son to a remote hotel to be the caretakers for the winter. It turns out the hotel is seriously haunted and drives the writer insane and he tries to kill his wife and son. The Shining refers to the psychic powers the writer's son possesses.

Answer 7

The "shining" explained in the movie and the book is the ability to communicate telepathically.

Answer 8

THE SHINING IS THE ABILITY TO SEE THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN A ROOM. IN THE CASE OF DANNY, HE WAS BORN WITH PART OF HIS HEAD COVERED BY A CAUL(A TYPE OF SKIN). THESE CHILDREN ARE CONSIDERED SPECIAL AND HAVE THIS ABILITY. MOST OF THE TIME, THEY CAN ONLY SENSE BAD THINGS. IT DOESN'T ALWAYS STAY WITH THEM. LIKE ALL ABILITIES, IF YOU DON'T USE IT, IT DISSIPATES WITH TIME.
