HE WAS THE GHOST OF THE SHERIFF

1. he had nightmares about the sheriff being whipped to death and during the dream, as you recall, the face of Duncan's transposes over his own, indicating that this was the same man! 2. As he hunts down the bad guys he says;"help me! Help me!", the same words the sheriff said during his murder. 3.the hotel lady says that an old legend is that the dead don't rest without a marker. 4. ghosts can make themselves appear as anything they want, and Jim Duncan had obviously seen the good, the bad and the ugly quite a few times so yeah. So after the movie what happens? Does Duncan finally go to the afterlife? Does he still wander the old west? My guess is he goes to the great beyond where he can finally rest in peace. In the movie Blade Runner there are hints that harrison Ford's character is actually an android. In sixth sense bruce Willis finds out that he's a ghost unable to rest in peace, and what's interesting is that he himself isn't even aware of that fact! P.S. Having said all this, I've always thought it would be really cool for Clint eastwood to make a cameo in one of the x-men films as Wolverine's long lost dad!
