They both knew it was a ghost but neither of them wanted to say it.
There was simply nothing else he could be, not when he was only visible through the security cameras while the three guards stood beside him and claimed they were alone. At one point they even walked through him, causing him to flicker briefly before resuming his standard position.
He must have been from the plague pit - it was the only thing that made sense. You can't even dig up your garden in London without unearthing a few bones, let alone adding an extension to a bus depot. Of course they expected mild hauntings from their excavation but not an actual manifestation of what appeared to be a lower class man, his arms crossed and expression unplaceable.
Having a priest come along only made things worse as Reverend Thomas was Protestant while the apparition must have been Catholic, judging by the way he grabbed the Reverend and threw the poor man half way across the depot. Luckily he wasn't killed, not immediately at least and not in a way that could be linked back to them. That's all that mattered.
Aside from that one incident, the peasant did nothing else but stand there and gradually stare at everything and everyone around him - even going so far as to gaze right into the camera with his milky white eyes that somehow looked right through you.
