Haunted is pretty clear. It's when the smily face icon is completely a skull. If they have that, then they are going to die. So yes, there is a threshhold for what gets you there, but esentially that threshold is zero, so if you are at Haunted you cannot go lower which means if you get any nerve points during that time, you will go back into Rattled and it is possible, if you can find enough nerve points, to get back into the "safe zone" after being Haunted. Most likely this would require diamond options, just because there aren't a lot of options to get back nerve points when you are in a position where you are going to have a Haunted character.

I saw someone on YouTube who got all of their characters rattled, but because of their end goal they used diamond options to get one of those characters (not sure how far you've played, so I don't want to spoil things for you if by chance you don't know all the details of chapter fifteen) up far enough to matter. This is the only character who gains nerve in chapter fifteen and I think this character got fifteen nerve points between various options. Not sure how much was needed, but I think that's what was gained.
