Hi, Uncle
This person actually had their own scary experience with the paranormal. While they were just eight years old, they’d wake up to a man who was in the closet. He didn’t do anything; he’d just stare and stare at her while she was asleep.
It was only a few weeks later when their mom showed them a picture of their uncle, who had passed away before she was born, that she realized who that man in the closet was. It was her dearly departed uncle, with whom she’d never had a relationship with. He was probably playing one of those scare-your-niece games that uncles do from time to time.
