Often visited relative man had welcomed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

haunted

'often visited' is the definition.
(haunt can mean to visit frequently)

'relative man had welcomed' is the wordplay.
'relative' becomes 'aunt' (aunt is a type of relative).
'man had' becomes 'he'd' (he had).
'welcomed' is an insertion indicator.
'aunt' placed inside 'hed' is 'HAUNTED'.

(Other definitions for haunted that I've seen before include "Beset by spirits" , "Spooky" , "Possessed" , "Full of ghosts" , "Frequented by ghosts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
