Genuinely skillful storytelling right there.  Humanizes the character and involves the audience.  What would your first reaction to a ghostly encounter in a cave be..probably not falling to your knees shouting "oh god, my god"..right, lol?  Mo does what most of us would do.  He is afraid and uncertain.  He's not entirely credulous.  He's also a modest man, bless his heart, and so his lowly human chattel have to declare his value and worth to him.

This all helps to establish that the story is authentic, and that the protagonist is credible, and the message worthy. By the transitive property of shitlogic that means Mos thought droppings in magic book are authentic, credible, and worthy.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
