Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

My Uncle Fred died when I was 6, he was my grandma’s brother and was the greatest prankster ever. I really miss him to this day. I am 23 now and this story takes place almost 3 years ago.

My daughter Emily was about 2 1/2 and was in her room just talking away one day to what seemed to be her stuffed animals, so I go in and ask who she is talking to. “The funny man”, she says. I thought she had an imaginary friend, but as she began telling me about him, I began to wonder. She said he has “black hair and glasses like daddy”. Really, I ask, what else? She then says “He is wearing a yellow shirt and he says to tell you hello. So I said to tell him hello back and went about my day.

A few weeks later my Uncle Charles died. We were at my grandmothers looking at a photo album when Emily says that is the funny man in my room, while pointing to a picture of Uncle Fred. She had never heard of him or anything. But, when we got home, I put her in front of a movie and went into her room and just said, Uncle Fred, I know its you and I am glad you came to visit and all, but you need to move on. It got so cold in that room, it was unreal.

I dont know if he ever came back, but I felt unprepared to deal with it at the time.
