Lori asked this question about Lincoln in the Bardo:
Just finished this and need a little help: 1) still not sure why Mr. Bevins appears with multiple eyes, legs, etc and 2) still a bit unclear on the reverend's journey--am struggling with why he was turned back to the "Bardo" and what he decided to finally do--more faith, more sacrifice? Any help or speculation appreciated!

I think maybe he hallucinated it before he died and that's why he ended up in the Bardo with his horrified face. No one else had physical manifestations unrelated to something that happened before their death. And Bevins' manifestation related to something JUST prior to his death that he thought. Could it maybe be the same for the Rev?(less)
