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

Jamie "died" in Culloden. His spirit travel 200 yrs as he promised to look for Claire. However, he was brought back to life and continue living in 1700s. As for seeing the future. It was mentioned in the book that he has second sight. He knows Brianna has diamond shape birthmark at the back of her ear even if he hasn't met her yet.

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 Jamie came close to dying at Culloden, & had a near-death/out of body experience. I think that's how he traveled forward & saw Claire. I fully believe that Jamie & Claire were truly meant to be together -- soul mates. I justice the characters & their interwoven stories.

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

I think Jamie's ghost is just from the 1945 timeline before Claire has gone back. At 25, in her original 1945 timeline, he has already died at Culloden. His ghost would have been roaming around (his 200 years of purgatory that he's already mentioned, not knowing that he's already done it in her 1945 timeline), and sees her in the window. No previous connection, but his ghost falls in love with her then, at first sight (big assumption on whether a ghost can fall in love, let alone exist, but hey, we're talking about time travel through standing stones!). The spiritual connection between Jamie's physical body and his lovelorn ghost is what pulls her back to his time, since they've established that you need someone on the other side to pull you.

He also saw Brianna before he met her and described the birthmark to Claire in season 4

I really hope that books 9 &10 will be major feature films, that would be awesome xx

Als Claire mit Frank in Schottland ist, war das Beltanefest, das Fest der Geister. So sagte es die Wirtin. Da konnten auch die Geister aus der Vergangenheit in die Zukunft kommen.
Da Jamie eventuell im Sterben lag, konnte sein Geist wandern. So gelangte er in die Zukunft. Es kann auch sein, daß er Claire direkt suchte, nach einem 200 Jahre altem Fegefeuer.
Hinzu kommt noch, daß am gespaltene Stein Vergissmeinnicht blühten.
Claire sollte sie finden und zu Jamie kommen.

It really pisses me off that they're trying to get everybody to buy into the fact that season 7 has 16 episodes. But we don't get to see the last eight episodes until a year from now. To me every year has been a new season. So to me this is like they're having season 7 now and we'll see season 8 next year. It makes no sense to me how they're trying to pass off two seasons and calling it one season. They've been lying ever since season 6 ended and they told us season 7 would have 16 episodes and until this premiered they've had us thinking that's how it was going to be. They were telling us that saying it was to make up for such a short season 6 and used it to give us something to look forward to. They can call it whatever they want but the truth is it's two separate seasons if you have to wait a year to see the second half.

I think jamie saw claire during a dream and called her later .or may be claire thought about him near the stones .a ghost is a spirit, and when jamie dreams, only his spirit travels .

[dixieroberson]

I agree with this theory. Jamie had an out of body experience at Culloden as he was teetering between life and death.

[wildwaning]

Exactly what I guessed...that it was his ghost when he died on the battlefield. He also saw Brianna when she crossed over into his timeline.

[lizpotter]

Jaimie also had a violent relationship with Jack/Frank. Jamie maybe checking on Claire spiritually. Frank showed up coincidentally as Jamie was there. A 3 way relationship entanglement.

I will wait for Ms. Gabaldon and let her tell me.

[shirleynitka]

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.

[glendasmith]

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.

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.

[annstillwell]

Basically I would think they have such a strong connect it transends time. This was touched on in Jane Eyre where Jane hears Rochester cry out for her in his agony or when Heathcliff sees Catherines ghost in Wuthering Heights.

I hope in 3-4 years after Diana Gabaldon writes the 10th and final? novel they make it into a big-screen movie
