I posted this in a similar thread from last year I believe, but it's a goodie...
Man, this is going to sound weird as hell but it's true. I am quite the skeptic. If I can't see something, it doesn't exist in my opinion (well, except for farts and sliding glass patio doors). It happened. If I weren't there myself, I would have never believed it.
Anyway, a little over a year ago, I was living in a nice 2 story house in a quiet residential area. One night, I had just gotten back from class and was talking with my girlfriend who lived there with me. She was sitting in the living room. One of her cats (L.B. - short for Little Bastard) was following me around as he always did when I got home, hoping I would play with him. He loved to play on the stairs so I though I would play with him for a little bit before I crashed.
We played about 2 minutes when L.B. completely froze at the bottom of the stairs and seemed to be staring at me. I came down the stairs towards him thinking he was just playing, but he moved to the side and continued to stare towards the top of the stairs. He continued to stare right past me with that scared, defensive cat stare until he seemed to be looking right past my head. He was a very mild mannered cat and never growled or hissed, but as he was looking past me, he let out a loud growl and hissed a couple of times.
Since I had never heard him do that, I backed away from him. As I backed up, I bumped into someone. Knowing that my girlfriend was in the living room, I jumped forward and spun around to see who it was and there was no one there. I about fainted. There was someone behind me that I could not see. I felt them as I backed up. It was as real as backing into someone while standing in line somplace. I was freaked so I walked forward into the living room as fast as I could to tell my girlfriend what happened. She thought I was full of shit until she heard L.B. hiss again. She was about to cry when I explained what had happened. Over the next year, there were a few more incidents that really scared the hell out of me. I won't bore you with the details unless you actually care.
