Well my story is simple, but still a little unnerving. I have lived at my present home since 2005. There have been a couple of strange things, but nothing overly worrying.
I’ll give you a little background on the place I live. It’s a very quiet trailer-park just off of a main road in my town. My dad moved his trailer in after he divorced my mom. He rented there for a few years when a tragic boating accident cost the owners their lives. My father decided to buy the property and trailers off of the late owners children. After a long probate battle my dad finally got the deed in 2004. I moved into a vacant trailer a year latter. I have been occasionally plagued by strange happenings. Like footsteps when no one is there ( and I know they are footsteps because in a trailer not only do you hear them but also feel the vibration). And once my fan was turned around right in front of me.
Now to the events of the past few weeks. I have four wonderful and playful cats. Two are mine and the other two are my boyfriends. Well my boyfriend got tired of getting up to let the cats in and out of the house so he built a “cat door” out of one free window. Now the hole is so small that I can barely get my head through. And it can’t be removed because it is nailed into the window frame. Just last week I left for five minutes to run an errand. As I was walking out the door I pick up a chair cover off the porch, and threw it in the house. It landed on the sofa just inside the door. My orange tabby was sleeping in the chair when I close the door and lock both the deadbolt and the door lock. I came back walked inside to see my orange tabby scared out of his wits. I went to pick him up to see what was wrong and he jumped at my touch. This in totally unlike him at all. Then I looked where he was focused on and realized that the chair cover I threw on the sofa was now hanging on the stand up lamp on the other side of the room. No one could have gotten in the house. I checked every thing, all the windows were lock and so were the doors. And no one could have gotten through the cat door. Plus nothing else had been moved. He has refused to come into the house on his own since then.
I thought it was just a singular thing and he would get over it in time. That was until yesterday. I got out of the shower to see my black tabby hiding between the wall and sofa. I walked to him to pick him up and he ran from me. That was strange but not as strange as what happened next. As he looked up at me he seemed to look past me and his eyes got big. I mean bugged right out of his skull. He took off running towards the kitchen and was so scared he actually ran into the far wall. After regaining some of his composure he allowed me to pick him up and he calmed down. Now this cat is one of the most laid back cats I’ve ever seen. Nothing fazes him. I once watched him walk up to a possum on our front porch and not show any fear (this thing was as big as him).
I don’t know what he saw behind me but it scared him bad. He has not been in the house since not even his favorite treat will get him to budge. I don’t know what this means and I’m kind of worried. After my first cats encounter I smudged the house with sage thinking that would make what ever it was leave. But it doesn’t seem to have worked and its always worked for me before. I don’t know what to do and I don’t know if the thing that is scaring my cats would also be able to hurt them. Nothing like this has happened in the past (well when my orange tabby was a kitten he would chase something invisible up and down the hallway) and it has unnerved me very badly. I can only hope with a little extra sage and some prayers that what ever is scaring my cats will leave.
Well there’s my story and thank you for being patient while I tell it.
