You have to remember when the ghost said to Jack "You're the caretaker. You've always been the caretaker."

Jack's soul was taken by the hotel, or he was a reincarnated former guest (Kubrick suggested this but never clarified). I go with the his soul was absorbed by the evil hotel and like the other ghosts, he is part of the Overlook.
