A visitor at 3 a.m. (Jamaica)

This is a spooky story told by a friend, Donald. 

    On a visit to Jamaica in 1987 for the first time since age 4, Donald was staying at his uncle's.

    One night, he heard someone knocking on the front door at 3 a.m., and thought it strange that his uncle should be having a visitor at that time of the night.

    He heard his uncle get out of bed, then having a conversation with the visitor before going back to bed.

    After breakfast, Donald asked cousin Vivienne if her father normally got visitors that late at night.

    Vivienne didn't understand his question, so Donald provided the details, "Your father was talking to Mr Bolton at 3 a.m. last night."

    Vivienne looked shocked, "Are you sure?"

    Donald, "Yes, I heard your dad call him by his name."

    Cousin Vivienne said, "Mr Bolton died three months ago."

    This was Donald's first visit back to Jamaica since he left as a four-year-old, so he didn't know a lot of people in their circles (unless they'd visited in Britain).  Where would Donald have whipped up the name Mr Bolton from?  Even if it had been a name he might've heard as a boy when people from Jamaica visited Britain, why did he go for that name of all the possibilities?

    Donald says he'd never heard the name mentioned before, and no one in his family knows a Mr Bolton.
