The underlined details (like the woman being dead/buried, the daylight setting with people yet a ghostly appearance, and the face appearing against probability/law of nature) support the idea that Jack is experiencing a supernatural or ghostly encounter. The details show an apparition (a ghostly figure) appearing in a normal, crowded setting, defying natural laws and probability, which supports the idea of a supernatural occurrence related to Jack's experience (likely that Jack is seeing a ghost or experiencing something paranormal).
