He describes this as not a "ghost story" but a "love story".

Then the Doctor realises that the creature in the pocket universe has been trying to return to another creature in the house. Alec and Emma are in love, and the Doctor advises them to "hold hands, and don't let go". As the Doctor and Clara are preparing to leave, the Doctor inadvertently reveals that Hila is Emma and Alec's future descendant. He asks what she senses about Clara, but Emma reports nothing unusual about her. The next morning in conversation with Emma, the Doctor reveals that he brought Clara to Caliburn House in order to see Emma, not the ghost. As the professor encourages Emma to try again - finally admitting he loves her - Clara returns to the TARDIS, and after a brief argument with the voice interface (which appears as herself, much to her annoyance), manages to break into the pocket universe and rescue the Doctor from the creature. He goes to rescue Hila, who escapes but is trapped in the pocket universe with the monster after Emma collapses. The Doctor uses a crystal from Metebelis III to enhance Emma's thoughts and use them to create a portal to the pocket universe, a reality "well". The TARDIS heads for the pocket universe. The Doctor uses his photographs to explain that the "ghost" is, in fact, a time traveller called Hila Tacorien, who is trapped in a pocket universe in the process of collapsing and being chased by an unknown creature. When she asks 'what are we to you' he tells her that human beings are "the only mystery worth solving". Upset at seeing Earth become a lifeless rock, Clara believes that she is nothing more than a ghost to the Doctor because as a time traveller he has been to a time when she is long dead.

The Doctor returns with Clara to the TARDIS and takes a series of photographs of the "ghost" throughout Earth's timeline.

They are interrupted by knocking at the front door, and open it to find the Eleventh Doctor and Clara. Emma is a psychic, and uses her gifts to gain the attention of the " ghost".
