Are we sure he didn't see himself and his choppers in a mirror and mistake the image before him for a Wendigo?

It was all in the kids imagination. Throughout the first half, his parents make quite a few references to him making things up all the time; his mother says it's to get attention because his father doesn't pay any mind to him. The bit with the hick crashing his car and being stalked by the Wendigo was dreamt up by the kid after he passed out in the hospital. That last scene of Otis being wheeled in on a gurney was just the continuation of that after he found out his father had died (I don't care what anyone says, that shot of his boots in the hallway of the hospital was heartbreaking
).
