Outlander Season 7: This Scene Might Explain Jamie’s Ghost!

How will Outlander resolve Jamie's ghost mystery? What are your theories? Tell us below!

In the beginning...a couple goes on a second honeymoon to Scotland. One does research of his family history and visits castles and historical sites and folklore and they have lots of information to write a novel or two. We are enjoying fiction. It's all fiction. Now relax and enjoy....the authors have the liberty to make anything happen, regardless of reality and we are buying it cause it's lovely to escape into another world.

This scene did not make any sense. In this scene, claire had not yet travelled back in time. Therefore, jamie did not know her yet and therefore his ghost didn‘t have to look for her yet. If they would have read all the books in that moment, or even searched for the old documents about the house fraser, claires name would have not been mentioned, because she didn‘t yet travel back in time and therefore did not „change the past“ yet.

So made 0 sense

Il fantasma di jemie è quando sul campo di culloden esala l'ultimo.respiro e vede claire forse è il suo fantasma che va nel tempo e si trova prima che succedesse tutto!

Okay, so Culloden is not pronounced the way the narrator does here. It's "Kull-aw-din" with emphasis on the Kull part.

Perhaps Jaimie has untapped temporal astral projection powers.

I hope that’s not the explanation. It’s just not magical enough. We waited a long time for the story of the ghost. We want something fabulous

I agree wih karenchua's remarks EXCEPT. I think he briefly died several times at Culloden. During one of those moments, after the 200 years had passed, he appeared in Inverness to guide her back to himself. 😊

The best Outlander moments were in Scotland!!

If jamie dies then itll explain why jamies ghost could be there but why is he not with claires ghost?

That explanation should be the last scene of the series.

The thing is she didn't go yet so, how he came to her ? Is he planned to make her travel to past or it just everything happened but she doesn't remember ? Is jamie ghost's knows better about past and future?

Please pronounce Culloden correctly! It is Clue- lod- den

That is not how you pronounce Culloden.

Come on, we all knew it was Jaime’s ghost when we first saw that scene of the man standing outside Claire’s window! It was obvious.

All I know is, this story better not end like Lost where it was all a dream and everyone was really dead or something like that!

In the book Jamie has several dreams of the future. It's often used to keep track of characters in a different timeline without breaking the current plot. While Jamie doesn't know if the visions are real, when we actually move to a different timeline they corroborate his dreams. If timetraveling is in the bloodline, it makes sense that there are other gifts out there (and we do encounter a few). Briana also gets the occasional dream so she's inherited both her parents gifts.

I think that Jamie is the kind of person that Steven Bonnet said a person who has one foot in death and one in life because Jamie has come so close to death many times. I think Jamie was a ghost who died at Culloden and saw Claire and fell in love and because in the book the night he saw her was a night the veil was thin so spirits were able to rome the streets and he connected with her because he felt she was different and then when she went to the stones to collect the flowers she was transported in the past and they saw each other and fell in love. He can dream the past and future because he has one foot in death and the other in life. Or he could’ve waited for her in purgatory for 200 years and saw her because she told him the date she walked thru the stones and maybe spiritually guided her to the stones.

My outlander is from Netflix only thru season 5. Would a ghost need to time machine to travel to the future? Absolutely not They travel the same as we as we do. One second, one minute, one hour and one day at a time. Claire's right near him because if she does not travel to the future she will die in the l8th or l9th Century so her ghost can be on the earth at the same time as her in her time before she travels . Brianna and Roger might be there to though they seem to be that they went back t0 where they came.

What if Claire dies in the past but is born after her death.

When they’re newly weds and touching hands they go “this is unusual”. If you’ve ever touched the hand of a soulmate you’ve known before you understand.
Don’t make love an idol, and it will bloom

However this is sort of a horrible story, a horror story because if the first time Claire went to the stones, was an accident, then she would repeatedly live the story we watched. Stuck forever dying before her birth date over and over, never ceasing to have a different story. What would stop it? Her not being born? That’s a terrible story. What about Brianna? Is there always another, or do they actually have hundreds of children from different cycles?
My goodness, are they Adam and Eve? Supplying the entire planet with people? Lol

I mean he always dreamt of the future.

Learn how to pronounce Culloden please!! I mean really???

PLEASE learn how to pronounce Culloden !

My theory: Jamie and Claire both died somewhere in the 18th century. Jamie's ghost appeared to create an anchor. For Frank, so he would remember having seen the ghost and do the things he did to make it likely for Claire to find Jamie in history and go back to him. For Claire, to see her again, and to create an anchor for her to go to him the first time. She saved his life soon after she met him, then again after Wentworth Prison, and many more times after that. Jamie knew he needed her for his life and his love. He knew they belonged together. And finally, for Bree, Roger, Jemmy, Mandy, and Davy. Jamie would have known by the time he died that the only way he and Claire could have their family together was for Claire to come and meet him the first time in 1743. Isn't fiction fun? Looking forward to the 10th book now.

I think now we see buck mckenzie come to the future it's a possibility Jamie will too at the end especially where Brianna has come a cross a new travel place at work might not need no stone or maybe the treasure gem and Jamie hid will be the key who knows but something is deffo brewing for Jamie and the future! 😂

Personally, I don't need it explained.

I have an even bigger question. If Roger and Brianna’s children are born in the 1700’s , how do they travel to the future…would they not be over 200 years old in the future?

How in the F do people not get that’s a ghost. He f*ckin’ disappears!!!
Clearly that’s Jamie’s ghost!!!

And how did anyone miss this obviously pivotal plot moment???

These are the same morons that think Jaime Lannister left Brienne of Tarth to reunite with Cersei, when all the clues from scene after scene are there that he left to kill her!

What’s wrong with some of you people! You clearly aren’t too good with comprehension! You literally need a ton of bricks to fall on your heads. (Pun intended- look that up)! Take a class, for Gods Sake!

Pay Attention!

I think Jamie will be injured and have to get a blood transfusion via his daughter and that will give him his ability to travel through time

Is it possible that Jaime and Claire travel to the future…to be with bri and the kids??? Is that how they’re gonna end the show ???

Oh so fascinating. Diana explained once, there is no time loop. So maybe, Jamie’s ghost has visited Claire more than once in 200 yrs. Maybe he visits her numerous times in his attempts to find her, until he gets it right.

The reason his ghost can be in the 1940s even though Jamie can't time travel is BECAUSE HE'S DEAD AND A GHOST! He's a ghost and time has passed! It's not hard.

This is what I think. In season 1 episode 1 Claire says to Frank she took care of a Scotts man during in the War (1940's). I think the Scotts man was Jamie incarnated (had Jamie's spirit/energy), then when the Scott died he became a ghost, the spirit being Jamie., and that is who Frank saw looking up in the window at Claire. Maybe Claire had a strong connection to Jamie's spirit or vice versa that allowed her to to travel back in time to the Scott's past life which was that of Jamie Fraser in the 1700's. Claire is a time traveler however maybe Jamie gets to be reincarnated.People often remember their past lives, however with traveling through the stones maybe time has no meaning and the past and future are closer than realized, and maybe that is also why Jamie is also a "seer" that is revealed in Season 7.

Oh my gosh! Doesn't anyone know that on Samhain (celtic Halloween) it is the night that the veil between the living and the dead is its thinnest and dead loved ones can pierce the human world? And clare and frank were in Inverness on the night of Samhain.

Why would he look for Claire when she hadn’t even gone through the stones at this point ? He would have no knowledge of her 🤷‍♀

It’s CULLoden, not CuLLODen

He can remote view. He sees Brianna in the future too. Her birthmark shaped like a triangle and the last episode he sees her on the phone and he describes Fiona answering the door.

Every time she mispronounced Culloden, I wanted to stuff my ears!

I saw it as a soul waiting to be reunited with his soulmate. Anyway, Jamie was definitely dead in 1945 so kinda like “I’m waiting in the past”.

Does that mean that Claire is reincarnated with Frank? Having multiple lives?

in episode 1, Mrs. Baird said, The dead can walk the earth on feast days. Thats when Claire traveled thru the stones. It's possible that a dead Jamie would know when & where Claire would be so he can see her again. I want him to see FRANK RANDALL - Black Jacks double. I never heard that point addressed.

I think Jamie planted the flowers there to bring her back to him…. HOWEVER, I think because Jamie had gotten injured, he sent Murdoch to get her.

And here we have a person who can't seem to pronounce the last name correctly....It's FRASER not FRASIER......That's FRAY-ZER not FRAY SURE, I have the same issue when people are talking about Brendan Fraser and they don't pronounce his last name correctly.

I'm curious. Exactly how did Frank die? And could Jaimie's once all-consuming hatred of Black Jack form a "connection" to the future for Jaime? Just wondering.

If they need a loved one as an anchor, how are Brianna and Rodger able to return to their time this season? That theory works well from the season where they tried and failed, but why did it work this time?

1945

Great thoughts. Pet peeve: Culloden (Cull-law-den)

I think Diana is absolutely brilliant. Thank you for the wonderful books !

He wasn't Dead YET RUPERT FOUND HIM GOT HIM OUT OF THERE ❤
