Yes, way to many. I’ve gotten pretty good at blocking them now, but my daughters haven’t learn to do it yet. It can be terrifying to them.
However, the one thing that I can’t seen to block is my ghost cat. When she was alive, that darn cat used to love to run in front of me and trip me.
She does it now and I can’t help but jump out of the way. She makes me look like a crazy person.
I saw a girl at work jump for no reason couple weeks ago. She saw me looking at her, and said she must be losing her mind because she swore she saw a cat run past her. I ask her if she just lost a cat. She did have a cat that just died.
I told her it was her cat, and good luck because cats don’t like to leave. I totally freaked her out.
I have another story about my first cat, a beautiful siamese with violet eyes. I nursed her for a long time when she was sick, driving her 3 times a week to a favorite vet who had relocated 45 minutes from us. When her lungs filled with fluid, the doctor told me it was time to let her go. She died in my arms, I was heartbroken and cried all the way back home. Four days later I was at a real estate seminar, listening to the speaker when, all of sudden, I jerked back shocked..my kitty’ face had jumped in front of me, healthy, beautiful, a wonderful light shining behind every strand of fur, radiant. I can still see it as it happened that day and she has been gone 20 years.
I knew an older guy that had been in the Defense Intelligence Agency - a spy basically. He had all sorts of supernatural stories. He was a strong Christian. One of his stories was when he was in Iran - this would have been the time of the Shah before the Revolution.
He had been witnessing to this one gal - and it became clear that she had a demon. He asked her if he could pray to cast it out - she said okay. So he did, she had some sort of spasm and fainted. He said her cat, a constant companion of many years and an indoor cat, at that very instant the cat jumped out a two story window and ran off.
“Well you know - demons have to have something to possess!”
Just a few years ago I was on a some-what crazy guy’s property. He lived in a trailer that was half falling apart, and all sorts of junk cars laying around in close proximity (like within 10 feet “Yeah - I’m working on that one right now”).
He was saying how he was certain his one cat was possessed - always getting in trouble, getting under his already wobbly feet and tripping him up. One day he had had enough and yelled at the cat “One more time like that and I’m putting you out of my misery” as he patted the gun on his hip. Yes - talking to a possible nut-job talking about his demon-possessed cat while he is packing was a bit disconcerting.
So anyway - the cat looked at him and slunk under the car parked 10 feet away. “I never saw that cat again. Until a week later I crawled under there to work on it again - and there was that cat - laid out dead. Right where he had walked to after I yelled at it. I had thought something was starting to stink - but around here that’s sorta normal.”
I wonder if that cat WAS possessed - and rather than getting shot out of the blue and ending up without a body (or becoming a ghost cat!) - waited until some other critter passed by and leapt into it. Of course there are 100 other reasons why it could have died (leaking antifreeze might be high on the list) - but it makes one wonder.
Me? I never have seen a ghost. Have had several very accurate premonition dreams, and a few dreams where I came up with little sermon type things for Sunday School.
I don’t care to see a ghost - pretty sure they are demonic mostly. I would like to see a UFO someday (although I’ve heard a pretty good case made for them being demonic). Although I’ve been plenty of places where it seemed seeing a UFO would be optimum and never saw any, so I don’t have my hopes up anymore.
Now Bigfoot - that is something I would like to see - but not too close!
