I am looking for the title of a movie about an orphaned girl who becomes the ward of her aunt and uncle who live in a mansion near a lake.
I was quite young when I saw this movie and it had a great impact, but I don’t remember everything.
The girl’s parents died in a car accident and burned to death.
She sees a lady, dressed in her mother’s clothes, walking near the lake, and nearly drowns trying to reach her.
She lies in a big bed during a storm, when suddenly the windows fly open, white curtains swaying, and she tries to hide in the closet. But out falls what looks like a burned corpse, wearing the shoes of her dead father.
It turns out that her aunt and uncle try to get rid of her, because of her inheritance.
Anybody seen this movie?

1Could it be a version of “uncle silas”?
It was early '80s, so maybe 70s or 1981-1984. This one is of 1989. But thank you for the suggestion.
– Kelanicould it be a version of that story? the first was in the 40s.
– VHS_LivesI read some of the synopsis, but I don't think it's a version of this one. The aunt and uncle are not very old, the girl is maybe ten years of age, and the uncle is not trying to force himself on the girl. Just scare her enough that she does something life-threatening.
