Some thoughts:
 
What if the normal world, the white lodge and the black lodge
all exist at the same place on different wavelengths (so to speak).
I think that the zig zag pattern under Cooper's feet indicates that
while he is inside he is "on a different wavelength" from his
companions, Truman and Andy.
 
Ghosts may exist on this astral plane, this psychic wavelength - the
same wavelength that Laura's mother can pick up.  Ghosts could be
nothing more than lasting psychic impressions left from very powerful
experiences. The moment of Laura's death was a very powerful and
intense moment so if it is possible for a feeling to "linger in the
air" after Laura's death, that screaming could go on and on.
Similarily Lelland's denial of his obvious guilt "leaves a lasting
impression".  Perhaps the visions of Laura and Lelland that
Cooper encountered on the psychic wavelength were nothing more
than that kind of lingering echo.
 
My favourite line in the show was "Wow Bob Wow." Because it is the same
backwards and forwards and because it could mean two things. It could just
be the dwarf expressing admiration for Bob's growing powers or it could
be a hint that Bob is creating the entire illusion that Cooper believes 
he is experiencing.  If Bob is creating the coffee itself then if his
powers wobble for a minute, if his hand is not steady, he could set up a
"wow" and flutter in his illusion.
 
Bob seems to be the devil or head demon in charge of the entire Black
Lodge.
