It wasa foreboding hint that Jamie would die in the past and that Claire would return to the future.

Gabaldon promises that her tenthOutlanderbookwill reveal why Jamie’s ghost is waiting for Claire.

However, the TV show will probably chalk it up to Jamie’s season 8 death.

This includes one that history dictated would be the last James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser would ever fight.

Jamie knew this going into it but set out into the mountains to fight regardless.

Still, he chose to go to fight anyway.

This miracle could also double as an explanation for Jamie’s ghost.

Once Claire heals Jamie inOutlanderseason 8, he will surely tell her all he has seen.

Thiswould effectively bring the entireOutlanderseries full circle.

Jamie Apparition

TheOutlanderTV show has already hinted that Jamie has a strange ability to astral project.

It’s alsopossible thatOutlanderwill avoid answers about Jamie’s ghost entirely.

Therefore, this is unlikely to be Gabaldon’s book explanation.

Later,when Gabaldon finally releases her tenthOutlanderbook, we can get the real answers.

For now, this could be an intriguing substitution.
