I believe Claire is dead also. It was weird how there is a map to the cabin but no one knew where it was before. Also, I don't think Christian and Jacob are one in the same. Christian says he is not Jacob but can speak on his behalf. I think Jacob is like a spirit and not an actual physical person. He uses others as vessels to talk to the living.
