In the camp of "the others", the woman, "Clue", asked Michael many questions about Walt's mental status. She asked if Walt had ever "been someplace where he shouldn't be". She was talking about teleportation - or bilocation - whatever you want to call it.
Projecting oneself, or an image of oneself, to another location. She was talking about Walt showing up in the jungle - after he'd been taken off the raft to the other hatch. Shannon saw him in the jungle and tried to follow him. Walt had used his mental abilities to appear in the jungle.
This island not only has some special "healing" properties, it also enhances mental abilities - such as ESP and teleportation.
All "the other's" seem to know our Losties' names, and what the Losties are doing, and what their relationships are.
Children are especially open-minded to such things - children are the perfect subjects for Dharma to develop any latent abilities.
Someone even managed to teleport a polar bear to the island!
Dharma knows about Walt now, they'll never let him leave on the boat with Michael. The heading they gave Michael will take them right back to the island - the island's magnetic problems won't let anyone leave.
Why are Walt's special abilities important to Dharma?
