My 2nd Ghostly Encounter

This occurred sometime during my secondary school days. I believe I was in secondary 2 then (age of 14). I was still living in my grandparents' old house.

My own room (on the 2nd floor) was just next to the common toilet and my uncle's (my Uncle David; he has since passed away) room.

My Uncle David had gone for a holiday (I think he might have gone to America at that time) and I guess I felt it was more comfortable to sleep in his room instead of my own. I guess I felt it was good for a change.

One night, when I was sleeping in my uncle's room, for no conceivable reason, I suddenly woke up. If I am not wrong, it was about 2-3am (probably 3am I think).

On waking up from sleep, I looked at the open door (the door wasn't closed) of my Uncle's room. The common toilet was just outside, directly facing my uncle's room. There was a vague human figure being formed in the moonlight (it was as if the figure was coalescing into a visually coherent whole by the light of the moon). I looked on in amazement as the figure was being formed until it became clearly visible.

The human-looking figure could be described thus:
1) He was wearing a T-shirt (without pockets) and shorts
2) He was wearing spectacles
3) He appeared to be eating an ice cream
4) He was quite tall (his head was nearly touching the top of the doorway. I cannot give an estimation of his height as I no longer live in that house and so I am unable to give an approximate measurement)

The transparent figure was looking at me. I believe he must have realized that I could see him, because after a moment or two, he simply turned and walked away.

Similar to my first ghostly encounter, I wasn't scared at all. I was too surprised and amazed to feel fear.

What I did next was to rush out of my Uncle's room and see if I could find the apparition. I also looked at the staircase leading to the first floor (my Uncle's room was also just next to the staircase). I didn't see any trace of the apparition.

I then went back to sleep.
