I wish I could help you because I know how frustrating it is to get no responses. I didn't see the movie.

I don't know if there's a definitive answer and I can't remember if it's in the book, but I always assumed it meant that Jack had been at the hotel in another life during the time all the bad stuff took place that made The Overlook haunted.
Stephen King had a lot of problems with Stanley Kubrick and that scene wasn't in the more recent TV version King wrote after Kubrick died. So I think it might be something Kubrick came up with.

You mean picture? Not pitcher?? What's your question, what threw you off? And did you watch the original The Shining or the newer one? I'm confused.

It suggest reincarnation - like the ghost butler said to Nicholson near the end "No, Mr. Torrance - you're the caretaker. You've always been the caretaker." Nicholson's character had been returning to the hotel, time after time to murder his family.

It's not supposed to make sense. Stephen King novels have no explanation.
