Quelque chose de méchant arrive

~ iamthesunking

For someone who has such a deep interest in ghosts and spirits, I am surprisingly unintuitive. My mum and my late great-aunt have a long and colourful catalogue of paranormal encounters, but I haven’t seen much that couldn’t be explained in some boring terrestrial way.

However, this still doesn’t stop me from searching for signs that Le Château may be haunted. Even though it’s not. Coincidentally, almost all of these signs also indicate that a certain troublemaking black cat is at large:

⁃ Strange noises: check

⁃ Waking up at 3am: check

⁃ Furniture and objects out of place: check (as well as pulling my shirts off their hangers on Wednesday night whilst they were drying around the room, Louis Catorze is also a fan of opening guests’ cases whilst they sleep and silently flinging their stuff all over the floor)

⁃ Increased nightmares: check (both whilst asleep and whilst awake)

⁃ Disturbances in electricity: check (assuming we can count a non-functioning television among those things)

⁃ Temperature fluctuations: check (a 3kg cat can generate a surprising amount of heat when he’s sleeping on your chest)

⁃ Pets behaving oddly: HELL, check

⁃ Inexplicable voices: partial check, as there are, indeed, voices, but they are usually very explicable (Catorze screaming, Cat Daddy using Unrepeatable Expletives of the Worst Kind and That Neighbour knocking at the door to bring Catorze home after yet another escape out at The Front)

As Long Hallowe’en unfolds, no doubt there will be more of the above. Perhaps we will never know which ones are being caused by poltergeists and which by Le Roi, but I know that poltergeists would be less of a nuisance.

Here is Catorze, wishing everyone a Joyeuse Fête and reminding the world that there’s only room for one demonic entity in this house. Happy Long Hallowe’en to you all.

    1. Happy Hallowe’en to you, too! Cat Daddy took the photo so I can’t take any credit for it. He always gets the best ones. Hope you and Miss Penny have a wonderful day!

  4. Oh no… it’s looks like Louis is summon up a ghost! But don’t worry, in the end there’s always a happy ending (that’s what I like to believe…). Beautiful photograph of a beautiful cat…
