They might not have actually touched it. You wouldn't want to be rooting through a burnt-out building with your bare hands. If you're cleaning/restoring an antique you'd wear gloves too.
The mind being in Trilby doesn't really explain the nightmares or the hallucinations. He spent 5 days locked in a house with a vengeful ghost, saw four dead bodies, was possessed by aforementioned vengeful ghost and killed someone, and according to Yahtzee, wasn't the most balanced of people to begin with. I think nightmares are only to be expected. As for the hallucinations, I'm more inclined to believe eating heavy-duty tranquilizers like sweets caused them. Fair enough, becoming the Welder and seeing the cellar complete with 'Father, why?' does fit nicely, but what with the hangar scene, I think they're just there to creep the hell out of you. They worked.
