Peter Quint's Ghost
After this quote, there was no mistake that Peter Quint was, in fact, a ghost. Up until this point, the inference of paranormal activity was neither confirmed nor denied, but the burst of cold air and the mysterious winds are manifestations of a ghostly presence, therefore confirming Peter Quint is a ghost. Moreover, the rest of this scene also provides details as to why the governess is the only one who visualizes the ghosts, for example, “I jumped to my feet again and was conscious of darkness.” this line is said by the governess and by saying this makes the audience believe that she was in some sort of trance or sleep that caused her to see the ghost, and Miles is only active when she wakes up.
