& I do realize in hindsight it is a lot smaller than 4 inches. As the other poster suggested, I’m not trying to ascribe meaning to it… just wondering if anyone is familiar with the potential symbology.

I grew up in a literal haunted house. All of my 4 older siblings had things happen, their friends would never want to sleep over after one time and would often leave early. Even my older brother when he was 16 with 4 other teenage boys had an apparition appear in the garage they were all sleeping and they ran out screaming.

My first memory with it was playing hide and seek when I was 4 and being under a desk, with my ear pressed against the wall. I heard a man’s whispering. I didn’t realize until I was 18 that where that wall bordered was directly adjacent to the closet one of my sisters had a shadowy figure stare at her from at night for years. She would often ask if any of us would sleep in there with her at night as she was terrified.

I am 100% serious, though being diagnosed later in life with bipolar type 1… Well, it is hard to be definitive about such things. I have another example if y’all are interested in hearing about it :|
