"According to Ziggy, there's a 92% chance you are here to avenge the former sheriff, Jim Duncan, by blowing up buildings, raping women, and painting the town red, literally!"

But failing that, I subscribe to the "Jim Duncan's ghost" theory. The only strike against it is "why doesn't anyone recognize his ghost?" ... well besides the fact that there's no definitive guide to how ghosts "really" operate, there is the thematic consistency that he's returning to a town that did their level best to remove every trace of him. They didn't even generally speak his name or speak directly of what happened to him.
