Answer #1

found this on wikipedia. hope it helps = )

The color red is intentionally absent from most of the film, but is used prominently in a few isolated shots for “anything in the real world that has been tainted by the other world”and “to connote really explosively emotional moments and situations”[7]. Examples include the door of the church where Cole seeks sanctuary; the color of the balloon, carpet, and Cole’s sweater at the birthday party; the tent in which he first encounters Kyra; the numbers on Crowe’s tape player; the doorknob on the locked closet door Malcolm can’t open; Kyra’s mother’s dress at the wake; and the shawl wrapped around the sleeping Anna when Malcolm realizes he is a ghost.

Answer #3

I think theres usually something red on-screen whenever there is or was a ghost. E.G the kids tent, the wifes dress and shawl (aswell as her anti-depressent pills), the red balloon small stuff like that, if you really pay attention you’ll notice a lot more! Blood too!
