Doss tells him that he is beside him, therefore the protagonist thinks that Doss is drunk but he says that he isn’t so they go back into the car.
There, Doss starts to talk “alone” telling that an old guy can’t go with them and then he gets possessed. At first the protagonist didn’t know what was going on but then he realized that his driver wasn’t him anymore, it was a ghost who controlled his body.
