I want to make a character with a family curse but I am having a brain fart and not coming up with any ideas, help would be appreciated.

A long time ago, when your great grandfather was young, he got into fight with some guy, and quickly it became really bad, in the end, your great grandfather killed that guy, and his mother, being powerful witch, blamed your great grandfather for death of her son and cursed him and his entire family. Now all of you can’t escape spirit of that guy who was killed, he haunts you in your sleep, if you won’t rest for a long time he starts appearing even when you are awake. He looks like 20 year old man with short and messy hair, in white shirt covered in blood, staring at you with his blank lifeless eyes. The less you sleep and more you tired, he becomes stronger and more material, getting shape and you are afraid that if you will stay for long enough, he will become strong enough to be able to kill you, and avenge of his death. Or maybe having a fight with him would break a curse, at this point of time, nobody knows.
