This happened around the age of 10. I grew up in a big family with 3 brothers, and we always had a cat. At the time, we had a cat named Dusty. Cats run fast and hide constantly, so I didn’t think anything of the situation. My mom has always been very spiritual. We were born and raised Catholic, my dad being Protestant, but my mom was always into witchy things… tarot cards, etc. To this day, she tells me when she walks into empty room and houses, she can hear slight voices and she has had many paranormal expirences herself. Anyways, back to the story, I’m 10 years old, in my room on the second floor, playing with my Barbie’s. I loved playing with my Barbie’s lol. A small loud dark figure runs right through the hallway (we have a small house so the hallway is thin, and I have a clear view of it). It just sounded like my cat running fast (maybe saw a mouse or having zoomies) but it was so fast that it just looked a small black figure. Being 10 years old, I assumed it was my cat dusty. Our hallway upstairs on connects to my mom and dads room. There’s no other way in or out if you’re walking though the hallway. I stop playing Barbie’s, and got up, started yelling out Dusty and looking in my parents room for him since he had just ran by. I searched every spot, every corner, every crevice, my cat was not in the room. I get scared and run downstairs to my living room, MY CAT IS SITTING WITH MY DAD. He has been sitting with my dad for THE LAST HOUR. I refused to sleep alone in the dark for almost 2 years after this expirence. I slept in between my mom and dad every night. I’ve never experienced anything similair since, but I will always remember what I saw and what I felt that day.
