Was Clint Eastwood's character suppose to be a ghost, or did he just dig up out of the grave, it seems close to a early horror western to me.

Excuse me "High Plains Drifter"
I didn't make the connection that he was the brother of the Marshall, because he was the one having the flashbacks,....absurd...nope just trying to make sense of it. The ending trailed off as he disappeared into the horizon, not to mention Eastwood called it a supernatural film. That is the reasoning for my question.

He was a ghost.
BTW, it's "High PLAINS Drifter"
Great movie.

He was whipped to death by the gang from what I gathered and sought revenge really on everyone in the town that just watched the incident.
There were key elements, like the flashbacks, the brief history of the Marshall being killed, then buried with no marker, "of which you see the midget sheriff carving in the end."
The midget turns to Eastwood's character and says, "I still don't know your name."
Eastwood just says something like "You've known it all along."
before the camera pans in on the tombstone.
I believe he was a spirit, and also, there are bootleg copies of that film named High Noon Drifter, which is where you probably got the name.

He was a ghost/spirit/whatever.. the real name of the movie is "High Plains Drifter", and he was hung to death in the past... and those were the men he got revenge on.
