User blog comment:J Fan/Idea about Barbossa in POTCO/@comment-5439673-20130109165131

It is sure it wasn't human Barbossa. His body was in Tia Dalma's Shack. Even if he was just sleeping when Jack and crew arrived he couldn't have traveled so much without a ship.

It would be awesome if it was ghost in POTCO! But, again, this might ruin everything... I thought Barbossa was in Davy Jones Locker. Soul only. Because he was the only one who knew the way to the land of the dead.

Wait, I have another idea. Because Barbossa wasn't in Locker by punishment his soul might have traveled from Locker to the world of living. His soul returned in his body by Tia Dalma's powers but maybe he was able to come to this world by himself.

I agree, Barbossa in POTCO is ghost. Awesome blog post!
