Louie stairs

I ain’t afraid o’ no ghosts! Tail of the ghost cat

I ain’t afraid o’ no ghosts! Glad to hear it Louie. You would make a great ghostbuster if you did not sleep through the visitations. Let me set the scene. I am asleep in bed on the weekend. I have a small light on so I don’t have to fumble around looking for the light switch. Louie is in the cat bed on my bed curled up sound asleep In the night I hear the noise of someone in the litter box down the hallway. I look over at the cat-bed and Louie is curled up fast asleep. Could it be a burglar? The alarm did not go off and I have no valuables buried there. I decide to just go back to sleep reluctantly. I woke up later when I felt paws walking across the bottom of the bed. I looked down and glimpsed a bushy tail waving back and forth. I looked at the cat-bed and Louie was still curled up in it asleep. Looking back and there is nothing there. Thinking about it, the tail looked a lot like Opie’s in both color and movements. Opie passed last May. Her empty cat-bed is still in it’s place on my bed. I wrote this for the believers and not the skeptics. I been visited before over the years. In the photo, Louie is waiting for me to follow him up the stairs.

The Ghost in the penthouse

The penthouse has become very popular with Miss Opie and her brother Zeke, since I moved it to where the Christmas tree used to stand.  Zeke likes to jump upon the dining room table, and then jump into the top of the penthouse, where he rests or sleeps.  Opie likes to sleep up there as well.  We will see Zeke on the table, ready to jump into the penthouse, but Opie is in there!  At this time of day, he is supposed to sleep there.  Does she not know this?  Below, he is too tired to hold his head up.  Note that the curtains behind him are tightly closed.

It has been a very long time since I have seen any “ghostly” anomalies in any of my photographs.  The previous post was written in 2011. Sometimes I just take random room photographs.  Then, I examine them.  For a very long time—nothing.  In the photo of Zeke above, the orange glow is from a lamp in the far corner of the room, reflecting upon the glass in the picture frame.  The next photograph is different.

???????????????????????????

Above we see Zeke disappointed to find Opie in his place.  Above Zeke’s head is a large transparent object.  Is it a reflection from the window?  Is it a reflection from anything else?  You can see the curtains are tightly closed on both photographs.  There is nothing over there to reflect off.  Perhaps it is one of my four (yes, 4) ghost cats checking out the new penthouse?  I wish I had aimed the camera a little bit higher!  The photographs were taken 2 days apart with different cameras.  I have since taken photographs, trying to reproduce the same mysterious effect.  I cannot duplicate the “ghost.”


I believe in both human and cat ghosts.  This is not because I am crazy.  This is because I have seen, heard, and felt them.  Just because you do not believe something, does not mean it is not true!  If you have lost a cat to death, pay attention to your surroundings.  You may get a surprise if you look hard enough!
