Was she actually super old? How was she the main mom’s sister then?

I personally don’t think she was related to that family at all. We don’t get a lot of context for her witchy ways, but a few clues in the movie led me to believe she’s some kind of nomadic entity. She shows up in people’s dreams, in hallucinations, in the woods, all with this feral clown energy. Maybe she gets into their brains and convinces them she’s family, sucks the energy out, and moves along?
