After the boys find the ID of a man named Luther Garland, the lumber mill machinery starts up for no reason. As Dean runs away in terror, Sam puts a bullet through Luther's angry ghost. The boys head to the police station to get more information about the man, but all they discover is that he died 20 years ago from some sort of physical trauma. Meanwhile, the sheriff is having crazy hallucinations and trying to scrub his own arm off. "They know what you did," his reflection says to him.
Sam and Dean meet with Luther's brother, who tells them that people were afraid of Luther because he was large and creepy looking. He was a kind man, but no one trusted him. When the boys show Mr. Garland a picture of Frank's wife, he reveals that she used to be a receptionist at the mill who Luther had a crush on. After the woman killed herself, Frank went to the lumber mill, saw Luther's drawings of his wife, and murdered the man by dragging him behind his truck. The cops wouldn't touch Frank, so he got off scot-free and left the sheriff guilt-ridden. The scratches on the Ghost Sickness victims are representative of Luther's road rash.
Dean (
Jensen Ackles) is ready to burn some bones, but Luther's body was so mutilated that the remains didn't end up in one place. This isn't the news that Dean wants to hear. He starts ranting about how insane they are to hunt monsters and ghosts, and he also rambles on about how gassy Sam is when they're stuck in the car together for eight hours a day. Dean decides he's ready to quit and walk away from this crazy life, but after he gets chased by the cute dog with the pink bow he heads back to the motel.
