So like… are we ever going to know where Hoid got the corpse in Secret History????

He says the body is just a spirit, since he needs it to keep from sinking into the ground/mist of the cognitive realm. But does that mean he took the soul of someone newly dead and then froze them there so he could use it as a boat????

Or was it someone who wasn’t fully dead yet? Like someone in a coma??

I have some many questions
