It was his brother in High Plains Drifter. Pretty sure. The guy being whipped didn't look like Eastwood.
The supernatural ghost thing is Pale Rider. Comes out of the mountains with healed bullet wounds in his back. God sent him as a preacher. |

I don't see how. Dude raised to much hell to be a ghost. Which brings up another question. The guy being whipped in the street while the cowards watched sounded just like the stranger. OP has obviously never met many ghosts. |

He wasn't a ghost, he was a revenant. A revenant is someone returned from the dead to exact revenge on the living. Brandon Lee in The Crow is an example of a revenant. This. /thread. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I don't understand you fuckin' guys. He was not a ghost. HEAT waves and shit causes the beginning and the ending of the movie. If Marshal Duncan was whipped to death in the street with the exact same voice as the stranger, why didn't the townsfolk recognize the Marshal? With the same face minus a beard? There is a vapor effect at the bookends but the editor uses a dissolve for Marshall's entrance and exit. It was manipulation of the footage that indicates he was a ghost. If the filmmaker wanted it to be obvious that the man was his brother, there would be no reason to do that. This is just one reason why it is easy to interpret the man being Marshall. |

Stockburn mentions that the man he knows is dead, and hints that he killed him. Stockburn recognizes him as the man he killed just before being killed himself. |

They stood by and let a good man be assassinated, something that a small group of their peer orchestrated. Duncan didn't just come back to exact revenge on the outlaws, he forced the town to face its own crimes. |

Short of actually breaking it down Barney-style, it couldn't be more obvious. It's ALL in the clip that you posted in the first post. The guy at the end comments that he never knew the stranger's name. The stranger said that yes, he did. The guy's eyes go wide. The camera tilts/pans and lingers on the marshal's name on the tombstone. Yes, there were heat waves as he rode off, but if you look carefully, they do a dissolve. The stranger disappeared. The stranger is the marshal's ghost/revenant come back to exact revenge on those who killed him and the cowardly town that stood by and watched. To exact the revenge that he wanted, including screwing with the townies, it wouldn't really do to come back looking the same, would it? People would just flee in terror. No revenge possible. By assuming a different guise he can get in among them and put the twist on 'em. |

I can't believe this hasn't been posted yet, this being GD and all. The answer is that he was blind the whole time.

In regards to the original question about Duncan, my opinion is he was Duncan, coming back for vengance.
Remember the line from the gal in bed asking him about Duncan and if a man won't rest with an unmarked grave ? Regarding Pale Rider: I see preacher as an avenging angel. He was called into action when the girl was praying after they killed her dawg. |
