Didn't happen to me but my 6 year old son.
I was on my laptop on Friday and my son says 'Type in black man and see what comes up'
I asked him why he wanted to look up black men (The town I live in is about 95% white so I thought he was curious about other races!)
He said 'That's what i call him, sometimes when i'm in the kitchen a wee black man runs out the sitting room, stands in the hall ,and lifts his arm up like a wave and runs away again.'
I was naturally curious and tried not to lead him on. I asked if he was '3d' like him ,and he said 'No , flat like an upright shadow' I drew a shadow figure and he agreed with what I drew ,except I gave him fingers and he said he just had a 'round shape' where his hands should be.
He talked to his mum about this yesterday as well, she asked if he had ever waved back to him, and my son said no 'cos I don't know if hes real'
My son does have a good imagination i'll admit, but this has come out of no where. He's easily scared but doesn't seem at all fazed by his encounters!
