The ghost of Dr. Bledsoe is still there, but he's not looking at the doctor. He's looking at his son, who's right next to him. The ghost says, "Look at the candles and the incense burning here . . dead ." The doctor says that's nonsense, and that the ghost is smiling at him. He says that he can see the ghost, but not the part of the ghost's soul. The doctor explains that a ghost can last seven days after a person dies, but it can't be a tool. Even if the soul could stay, it would lose its sanity and turn into an evil ghost
