It looked like there was some sort of binding circle around the cabin, perhaps to contain Jacob's energy.

Well I started to think that Ben took Locke to the Bates Motel when he was chatting with the rocking chair.. I was like "Oh writers please dont let Ben put on a dress and try to stab Locke!"

Or maybe Locke was right and Ben is a kook and he rigged Jacob's place to appear haunted or whatever? These are the "others" who did disguise themselves (remember all the fake beards & dirty clothes) and Ben did ask some of them to pretend to be the plane survivors.. Ben could just be bonkers?

I mean during the flashbacks it is pretty much what the person experienced and maybe Ben just thought he saw his mom.. I mean its not that uncommon that traumatized children see things... have wishful thinking...
