Right now, it doesn't matter what the old man and the "Holy Spirit" actually are because there's no way we would ever be able to pick that up. The obscurity of the story reduces both, and everything else, to random details. If we're 100% inside the delusion with her 100% of the time, all of the creepy hallucinations lose their meaning and impact. This is why I keep suggesting the interview format. Maybe she's talking to a psychologist and thinks he or she is someone or something else, something part of the delusion. Then, at the end, the POV could shift to that of the psychologist, filing his official report with all the answers the reader needs.
