Uncle Eddie Returns
Even for those who might not believe in ghosts, there are instances where circumstances align too perfectly to dismiss as mere coincidence. The storyteller had moved away from their hometown many years prior but remained in contact with friends who provided updates on local happenings. When a new family moved into the storyteller’s childhood home, their friends had an intriguing piece of news to share.

The newcomers had a young child, approximately five years old, who frequently mentioned an imaginary friend named Eddie. Strangely, according to the preschooler, Eddie was just three years old and resided within the house. Upon hearing this revelation, the storyteller’s stomach sank as they recalled a family secret – they had a great uncle named Edward who had passed away within that very house many years ago at the age of three. It was a curious and somewhat unsettling connection between the living and the departed.
