I was thinking maybe one year to a human would be equivalent to a 
hundred years for a ghost.  However, if we follow this, by CoS, NHN 
would have been dead only five years, and this doesn't fit with his 
Shakespearean clothes.  So, just a minor inconsistency, right?  I 
can't imagine how this could be a clue for later...
