Questions about American Horror Story: why if Moira was killed as a young woman has she aged?

Additionally why do the other spirits still carry their fatal wounds but Moira does not?

I just finished watching all of the episodes available on NetFlix and no explanations were given.

I was happy to see her in the asylum! The wings totally rocked and the role is pretty awesome too--I just love the angel of death being totally kind, but looking pretty menacing/scary.

Sounds like you're still in the first season and haven't gotten to the end so I won't spoil anything, but pretty much the ghosts mare capable of appearing as they choose and some never choose to show the wounds because they are in denial.

As for the age...I just went with the above explanation (they can choose) for why she could show an age she never actually achieved. When it comes to ghosts, if they can wear various clothes, then they can do anything appearance-wise.

She was murdered by Jessica Lange's character by being shot through the eye. She has a cataract in the same eye in her older appearance, but not in her younger appearance.

there aren't many wives who would allow her to be their housekeeper looking like her normal (young) self. Just like I wouldn't want to have this guy hanging around the house all day if I still had a wife to worry about.
