Not necessarily. The occult magazine is talking about specific types of souls: "souls of those who died
suddenly by suicide or accident [...]" In other words, not all ghosts lose their morality.
In addition, the Other World in SH4 basically is Walter's mind & yet we never see him or any clues of his existence in this world.
It depends what you define as "clues of his existence". For example, there are those cube-like cages with corpse in them reminiscent of the "Misty Day, Remains of the Judgment." Since Valtiel is the prime executioner and all...
Added to the fact that if the otherworld is Walter's mind, then there in lies his unconsciousness as well. People can argue that the mind is part of the brain, too, and question how a mind can exist in a corpse.
This is Silent Hill, as you know.
And may I also ask what the point would be for Valtiel to exist in Walter after the Liberation anyway?
"Redemption of Sin" once the Holy Mother is descended. The idea goes back to SH2 of course, but people were executed and their blood offered to the gods in redemption. Again, since Valtiel is the prime executioner, his place beside the Holy Mother is obvious.
He is seperated into two & as Joseph explains: "Now he is nothing but an in-human killing machine".
That doesn't say much, really. Pyramid Head in SH2, for example, can be considered an "in-human killing machine" destroying any monsters in its path. Considering that Pyramid Head is a manifestation of an executioner of the past, if adult Walter is under the influence of Valtiel, it's not far-fetched to see that he is an "in-human killing machine" as well.
