The Ghost Cat

It was 2013 on Halloween weekend. My roommate and I decided to go walk over to her boyfriend's house. He lived right near downtown and we planned to get dressed up there before going out to party. We lived on the other side of town, so it was a long walk to his place. We didn't mind it though, we both thought we needed some exercise and it was nice to get fresh air.

It completely dark outside and there were no lights on the streets. We were the only ones outside. We went up a hill and we suddenly saw one street light on. Sitting directly in the middle of the light was a black cat, starring at us with bright orange eyes.

Being a crazy cat lady, I immediately went to pet it. It was super sweet and adorably cuddly. We pet it for a couple minutes before walking on. We noticed that it started following us and thought we made a cute friend.

My roommate wanted to take a short cut through the dark woods instead of going the longer route through a neighborhood. We started heading for the trail when the cat jumped in front of us and cut our path. We thought nothing of it and continued on, but the cat kept on cutting in front of us and even hitting us if we took another step.

We both thought it was really weird. It was almost like the cat didn't want us to walk through the forrest. The cat was very upset and kept refusing to let us walk down the path. We stopped trying to walk and we watched the cat walk away towards the neighborhood. I told my friend out of interest that we should follow the cat, since it seemed like a weird wacky adventure and a lot safer to be in a neighborhood.

We followed the black cat through the neighborhood. It would stop and wait for us to catch up before continuing on. This kept on for half an hour until it lead us...all the way to her boyfriend's apartment unit. Both my friend and I were spooked and we both looked around for the cat. It vanished without a trace.

My friend and I both told the tale to her boyfriend. We came to the conclusion that the ghost cat was trying to stop us from going into the woods to keep us safe. As if something shady was lurking there and ghost cat looking out for us. Ghost or not, it made for a really good story to tell my classmates for Halloween. No one believed me though, except for my friend. I'm happy we didn't go in the woods that night. There were reports that year that a man was attacking and trying to drag young girls deeper in the woods. Due to that, I avoided walking through the woods at night in general when I lived in that town. As for the ghost cat, I never saw it again.
