[Grammar] There "IS" more than one reason???

[sorkroto]

It always confuses me when using "there is/are". I thought it would be 'there are', but I could find lots of results with "there is more than one reason" search. :shock:
I'm also confused about the title of one Agatha Christie's book "And then there were none". People normally say "there is no one". Does the verb(is/are) depend on the whole context? Or is there a fixed rule we can use just anytime we use "there".

Thanks in advance :-D :up:

Compare: "There is more than one reason" and "There are more reasons than one".
What do you notice?
