Gately, the wraith, and the figurants — "The wraith disappears and instantly reappears…"
The wraith disappears and instantly reappears in a far corner of the room, waving Hi at him. It was slightly reminiscent of ‘Bewitched’ reruns from Gately’s toddlerhood.
Context
The haunting filtered through Gately's real iconography: the wraith's quantum blinking reads to him as an old sitcom effect. The auteur's ghost doing 'Bewitched' bits is also the scene's joke about the Entertainment theme — even the numinous arrives pre-formatted by TV.
