It sounds sort of like The Black Dog in England or a Banshee, both appear (or scream ) when someone in your family is about to die. I also heard that they "attach" themselves to certain families and stay with them through all the generations of the family, and warn them when someone is about to pass away.
I would suggest you ask your grandmother about the "man" and if she knows about him.
