Visiting Cat Spirit
Grace, Stratford, Connecticut, February 2001 and on-going, ftxpunk182@yahoo.com
My house is haunted. I'm almost positive, but I don't think the spirit or
ghost is human.
A lot of the time I stay in my room alone and read, or listen to music or something--my
door is ALWAYS shut when I'm in my room. Sometimes when I'm lying on
my bed reading my door opens by itself which is weird because my door
is heavy--no draft could open it. I hear the latch in the door click,
and it starts to open--the door always stops at almost exactly the
same place.
After the door opens,
a presence enters the room. Sometimes it calms me, and sometimes it
scares me--I know it's there. You know how sometimes you close your
eyes, and then you just KNOW someone walked into a room? That's what
it's like. I KNOW its in the room. I can even tell where it goes in my
room! I know if it's on the side of the bunk beds, or by the TV.
At times I keep the TV on just so I won't have to look at it and see a
reflection of the room because I'm scared I'll see something that's
invisible to me. One time the wires to a video game controller started
to swing back and forth--I saw it out of the corner of my eye. When I
looked directly at them, it stopped. This happened two more times on
the same day. It was Saturday, February 17, 2001.
I believe this is the spirit of my cat that got hit by a car in November
1999. I know it might seem silly, but it's not. The way the door
opens...is just like the way my living cat does it. Only it's not
Kitty--it's Dorothy, the dead cat. And the swinging of the video game
wires...as if a cat is batting them, and playing. Dorothy loved to
play with string. Also she would open the closet doors sometimes. She
was an extremely delicate, quiet animal. After she died, I cried
myself to sleep for weeks because I was so depressed. I had a dream
about her going into some kind of bright light. She may have come back
out of it, I don't remember. But I hope she leaves soon so she can
rest in peace.
