I don't quit understand what you mean by the stories being switched but I think he's like that due to the fact that the body he posssed wasnt original his, I think those reactions are from what the original spirit feels and also the ghost still doesn't remember much of his past so it's possible that the body he possesses is controlling how he feels in a way if that makes sense but I could be wrong
And we still dont know what happen to the orinigal body's spirit; that body could possibly be taken over by two different spirits at the same time, that might explain why he's reacting the way that he is. But its just my theory since a couple chapters back at the pub Dylan saw that the ghost had green eyes so it could be possible that there's two spirits in that one body idk
Yall I've got a theory...so I believe that maybe the stories are switched because to me it doesn't make sense that the ghost is scared or shocked at what he tells him out when he was alive and supposedly kidnapped him...why is he so shocked that he even started to like shiver I dunno it's just a theory
