TL;DR: husband's aunt died in our house and his dad with dementia may have tossed her ashes in the trash by mistake. Aunt's spirit never left and walks around from the living room towards the dining area. Is she mad about her remains or is there another reason? MIL sees her too & only occurs at night.

For context: Circa 2023(?), my husband's paternal aunt passed away from Dementia. He and his family tried placing her in a home due to both his parents being disabled and him working full time. Well, long story short, she was able to pass away peacefully with the help of a nurse and support from social services giving us resources. She would pass away out side of my husband's childhood bedroom. She was placed in the living room right next to and outside his room.

A little bit after she passed away, she was cremated and soon after my Father in Law was now in the early stages of Dementia. FIL placed her ashes outside ontop of a trash bin so she'll never feel alone. We think he threw away her ashes cause we can't find them. We're hoping he didn't but if he did, there's nothing we can do. Him throwing the ashes away wasn't with malicious, but more of a Dementia fluke in early stages 1 and 2.

Cut to 2024-2025. So, I used to work swing shift at a group home for at risk youth. I would clock out at 11p and get home close to midnight. MIL would leave me a plate of food to eat sonce I couldn't eat dinner with them. We live in a mobile home so we have a open concept kinda home. So I would go into the kitchen, grab my plate and out of the corner of my eye, i'd see a figure in a white gown walk from the living area near my husband's room towards the dining area with is right next to the kitchen. I jumped, grabbed my food and drink and sped walked to my room. This would become a regular occurrence for me and my MIL where a figure would walk the same path, at night, minimal lighting/no lighting.

The first time I experienced this truly was when Hubby, then boyfriend, was making us dinner late at night. We were talking and he keft the kitchen fkr a brief moment and the figured appeared and walked by. I thought it was my boyfriend. So when I peaked to see him around the corner, he was behind me asking what I was doing. I asked if he went towards the other living room outside his old bedroom and he said he didn't.

So far, his mom and I see the figure its late at night in the dark. I don't think my husband's aunt left. I'm wondering if she's here because of her remains were thrown out mistakenly or for another reason. What do you guys think?

In short: I'm scared to go to bathroom at night and get a snack or even water because I know she's there.
