It could have been Randal Flagg/the 'walking dude', but I like to shy away from that theory as it seems out of place. (He's not really mentioned in the book and there isn't any real super nature aspect.) I know he has a tendency to have characters crossover like in the Dark Tower series and Cujo (Heavily implies that the dog is possessed by the killer from The Dead Zone.), but in this case, I like the nihilistic thought that Garraty (misspelled probably) has cracked and still thinks he's in the Walk.

I really just love the ending, "...He somehow found the strength to run."
