Since talking to Sirius, Simon has experimented with manifesting, and mostly he's been disappointed. He doesn't have enough energy to keep it up for very long, and most people can't see him even when he does. He also can't seem to leave his deathplace. The stain on the cement that is all that's left of his human body (he's pretty sure his parents had him cremated) seems to root him to this one spot.
It just so happens to be a very boring spot.
When someone comes to it and starts sniffing around, he decides to have a bit of fun. He doesn't expect this someone to be able to see him if he manifests but he tries to anyway, appearing as a pale figure just in the corner of Roddy's vision for a moment before disappearing again. If he's going to be stuck haunting a particularly uninspired bit of road, he might as well be the spookiest damn ghost he can be.
