I have another thought about the fan.  If you haven't seen the movie _Angel
Heart_, and are planning on renting it, hit "n" now.

(The following is all my own interpretations)

In _Angel Heart_, a spinning fan symbolized death.  That is, every time a
fan was seen, someone was being killed or had died earlier.  I mean EVERY
time.  Perhaps this is similar to the fan in the Palmer house.  You've got
Laura, Maddy, and Leland to support it.
