Some interesting theories in this video.
Are we ultimately looking at characters and things in the film from a ghost's perspective?

Yes, that's interesting.
Sorry, wasn't able to watch your entire video cause of bad internet connection.
Director Stanley Kubrick said something in that way in an interview:
"It seemed to strike an extraordinary balance between the psychological and the supernatural in such a way as to lead you to think that the supernatural would eventually be explained by the psychological: 'Jack must be imagining these things because he's crazy.' This allowed you to suspend your doubt of the supernatural until you were so thoroughly into the story that you could accept it almost without noticing … It's not until Grady, the ghost of the former caretaker who axed to death his family, slides open the bolt of the larder door, allowing Jack to escape, that you are left with no other explanation but the supernatural."

Someone here posted a theory about the glace at Danny's room was an indication of Jack abusing Danny.
There's a channel on yt which has a 30 min presentation and even more in a feature length version but is charging $5.

Have you ever heard someone suggest that it was Danny who let Jack out of the storage room? Had this running in the background while surfing & it's not a great analysis video but him saying it was Danny caught my attention.

Wow the narrator really over analyzed this. I think he got closer to the truth when he said that Nicholson breaking the 4th wall repeatedly during the film was one of Stanley Kubrick's cinematic tricks to make us even more afraid of Jack Torrence.

I can believe it. Kubrick wanted to make "the world's scariest movie", I think he might have succeeded. (Of course, there are those who hate The Shining and think it's an overlong boring mess of a film.)
