You got it, pulling the dead girl from that ravine pushed him into a psychotic state. If you remember his wife had a stillborn son and never conceived again after that, so his desire for a child coupled with his alcoholism and then seeing that young, naked corpse, drove him to madness. The twist is supposed to be the realization that he's a drunken lunatic on a murder spree and there is no ghost, but not everyone gets it. I am glad you did.

It's been interesting watching all the different theories readers have come up with for this story, and in the end I guess it's up to them to decide what they want. I was going for a vague bit of ambiguity.

An interesting note, I wrote this in one night for a contest and do not consider it my best work on the wiki.

Thanks for the review, CrashingCymbal.
