what does a ghostly boatman mean in folklore or religion?

In the movie "the Prescence" which is about a haunting and the ghost eventually is guided to heaven by a friendly guy with a lot of light behind him, the final scene is the 2 living people being taken to hospital in a boat driven by a storekeeper , and a (previously invisible) man in a hood mysteriously appears out of nowhere and whispers something to the driving man in this boat.Does this have some religious or fairytale significance that someone can explain the ending of the movie to me ? Who is he and whats the twist that this ghostly or invisible person implies?
