It checks out because Phantom used the term 'spirits' specifically in canon, although he tacked a descriptor 'of the dead' at the end. But let's not think about it too hard. Feranmuts are also nebulous in canon and he was tutored by one, too.
...He probably shouldn't disturb the sleeping dragon. It was common sense not to, and he stops digging the bones out for a moment — it's a majestic creature, isn't it? The rulers of old Victoria was said to have been descended from one, before the lions challenged them.
But they say curiosity kills the cat, and he continued digging after a moment, albeit with more respect. Perhaps he managed to dig a smaller bone out indeed — although then he attempted to dig in the area surrounding it. Is there anything there? Perhaps an item, a clue, a surprise tool? Just a plain old surprise?
If he found nothing, he would move to a nearby spot, pausing to crane his head up to look at the dragon's enormous skull. Superimposed with its spirit, it truly is an awe-inspiring sight.
Yes, he could feel the presence of the spirit of the lake, too. It...feels a bit more like what he's familiar with - his Troupe Leader - rather than the spirits that litters the Grove and those who formed his ghosty entourage, or the dragon. Perhaps also different from Moder, from Zahliya...from the more benevolent River Guardian.
He shudders a little, but the presence of this powerful spirit entices him — not only the singing coming from the depths of the lake. Thankfully, he is lucid, and he stopped a fair distance from the edge of the lake; from that siren song of doom and the mass of hands writhing underneath the water.
"...Are you this lake's spirit?" He will attempt to communicate with it; his otherwise flat tone conveyed an amount of subtle respect. "Or are you the spirits of the dead, bodies who was tossed and thrown into the lake?"
