Interesting idea -- except that you're assuming Laura has only one spirit.

Consider this.  We've known all along that Laura has a divided heart.  And,
aside from Cooper, SHE'S THE ONLY ONE IN THE LODGE WHO APPEARS IN TWO
DIFFERENT FORMS.

It could simply be that Laura Palmer was inhabited by two warring spirits.
One -- the pure, good one, native to the White Lodge -- warned Cooper in the
original dream sequence.  The other one was the corrupt one, the servant of
BOB -- the one who screamed.

And therefore the scream at the end (which I'm still not sure wasn't just a
musical effect, but what the hey) simply shows the alliance between the dark
spirits, while the good Cooper and Laura are locked away in the lodge,
possibly for another 25 years.

BTW, apropos of nothing -- what was that outfit the Lodge Maddy was wearing?
Was it Laura's dress, or was it a half-and-half costume, half dress, half
suit?  Another duality?...
