agree  Ron Willems: in deze zin zou ik dan wel zeggen: "... dan heb ik een delirium". Niemand zegt 'tremens' erbij als ze zojuist een spook hebben gezien...

Delirium Tremens


Explanation:
Indeed Delirium Tremens and everythings that's been said about it, so maybe in this context, a suitable translation of the phrase would be:

Well, if there isn't ....dan ben ik aan het hallucineren... But I tell you there's a man down there.
