A few points about this

- There are videos at YouTube saying the whole supernatural bit at The Overlook was Jack's total imagination as a writer. Supporting this very much is this. For almost all the last half of the film we see Jack dressed almost lumberjack style. But there was a brief shot just before the climax where we see him dressed in a green shirt typing. This is much like he was dressed when he yelled at Wendy earlier when he was typing. This supports the notion very much.
- Some people wrongly thought Halloran's family used to own The Overlook. No notion of that in this movie anywhere. That was in a different fictional universe of the inferior Shining book.
- The 1970s when this movie filmed was supposed to be the last time anyone would ever make a pop cultural work about the eerie and repulsive subject of kiddie murder. But to many people's horrendous shock ( mine included) in 1997 came the vastly inferior Shining TV miniseries that also was about kiddie murder. ( All the very inferior series had better was a better Wendy as Rebecca DeMornay was outright better viewing than Shelley Duvall.)

If it wasn't ghosts though, who let him out of the freezer?

Irregardless completely. Jack Torrance the green shirted writer was the one who wrote the whole scene about meeting Delbert Grady in the Gold Room. Then he wrote the scene about Grady unlocking the freezer door ( or just food storage door). The key to the whole movie is right in that scene when see the green shirt again typing right in the middle of Psycho Dad's lumberjack phase. There is no dispute. There is indeed a key to the whole story and that described in 1. up above is the key.
PS I already commented a while back how Grady sounded different in the two scenes we heard him.
