To add to that, they never get out of the alternate world because Sharon opened her eyes at the ends and saw Alessa if I recall correctly. Her mother tells her not to look but she does anyway. I think that has something to do with it.

But yeah, very strange to people who have no prior knowledge of it lol

Now that I recall that exact moment, that makes sense. Sort of like a callback to classic stories like Eurydice and Lot's wife being told not to look back but doing so anyway and damning themselves.

it's never told that she has any powers. It days that they tried to burn an innocent. I thought they were burning her because she was "sin" the offspring conceived out of wedlock. And then after they burned an innocent girl she had so much rage she attracted a demon to actually come and possess her then. At least that's what I took from it. How the alternate dimension was created and why the mother and daughter went into it along with the cop but the other cop and dad couldn't l, or how the other cop hasn't aged in 30 years were all questions that seemed to never be answered

Okay, I must be misremembering the flashback scene. For some reason, I thought that the scene where all the children are taunting Alessa had them chanting 'witch' at her.

I'm going to rewatch the movie soon, since I clearly haven't remembered it perfectly. I'm pretty sure the cop was aged a little, just gracefully. Like Doc Brown in BttF. I remember thinking the same thing and watching carefully for signs of aging.
