I think I have finally figured out how to start this story. I live in a 3 bedroom town house with just my wife and her cat and my dog. Neither of them will go upstairs by themselves. The cat will sit on the stairs looking down (it's a "U" shape stair case if that makes any sense) but not go all the way up by himself.
Now this last Saturday the 18th, I got home from duty, a 24 hour shift of work on board a ship. Me and my wife were in the bedroom talking for a little bit about our plans for the day and the weekend. I than walked over to the little sink right outside the bathroom, still in the master bedroom. As I was getting my toothbrush out along with the toothpaste still talking to my wife I looked over to my wife and saw a quick shadow move on the wall to my left by the window. It wasn't me because from where it was t I would of had to have a light on. And it couldn't have come from outside as for the curtains were closed and blinds were shut. After the quick maybe half a second of the shadow I saw I asked my wife if she saw the shadow and knowing that from where she was, on the bed she couldn't. She asked me what I saw. So I told her I had just seen a shadow on the wall move really quick. She tried to tell me it was probably from a helicopter that could have flown over head but I know for a fact that the blind were closed and I would have heard the Helicopter flying overhead from the base she did however tell me she has seen similar shadows around the house when it was just her home.
I personally believe it was something Paranormal and you can't convince me otherwise.
Thanks for taking the time to read my story.
As for the cat, that sounds like it is looking at some tiny fly/moth/creature type thing on the wall that is high (causing it to look up) and out of reach (causing it to jump/attempt to scratch at thin air, towards it) this is common by my cats for flying bugs etc.
The cat not wanting to go upstairs, that is possibly linked with the shadows you see, I would probably assume.
Thanks for sharing...
