I always took it to be the same ghost. She "made" herself pretty to seduce Jack....and when he saw the reflection, the spell was broken.
I had a film class, and we watched and discussed "The Shinning". One thing that happens in the film that I never noticed (until the professor pointed it out) is Shelly Duvall's appearance in the movie.
At the beginning of the film, it's mentioned that the hotel is on an Indian burial ground.
At the beginning of the film, Shelly's appearance is ....urban. Jeans and such. As the film goes on, she starts to look more Native American. Oversized ponchos with native prints, and a long ponytail. At the end, her hair is parted in the middle, with two braids, and her outfit is very Native Americanesque.
