In this chapter, we learn that the ghost's body has shifted to the hole in its head, and that this is because the spirit of the ghost has shifted its body away from the main body. This is because, as the chapter's title implies, the spirit is "shifting its main body" away from its "main body" . The chapter ends with a soliloquy by the Ghost, in which he tells us that he is certain that he will dispel the ghost in the south-southeast.
