I vaguely remember some Japanese superstition that the spirits of dead people can weigh on a living person's shoulders, or something to that effect, thus my hypothesis. Anyone more familiar with Japanese beliefs can back me up on this?

Well from my POV, there's still nothing in AnoHana so far which rules out 'Unreliable Narrator'. It's still entirely possible the failmuffins were made by Jintan all along, and what we're seeing is a continuation of his delusions.
After all, I do remember at least one scene in a previous episode where Menma seemed to scarf down a piece of BBQed meat right in front of Poppo, and the latter didn't notice. So yeah. Great unanswered question.
