Paranormal Q&A

Is it at all normal for a human shaped ghost to manifest after a pet has died of natural causes in the home?

I’ll preface this question with a few details. First, we had four cats. Two have passed away of old age in the home without any sort of paranormal complications arising from the situation. Second, prior to this happening we used to joke about for years about a goblin in the house when things would either go missing or would seemingly fall for no reason.

Our last remaining cat finally passed away at the age of 23 of kidney failure. After she was gone, for 2 months afterwards we experienced a surge of activity related to her. We would hear her purring. We would see a glimpse of her passing us in the hall. We would think we would see her laying down somewhere. Then after that time it trickled to a stop and we didn’t have any more experiences.

What started happening afterwards was far scarier. We started hearing shuffling at night. It sounded like someone ruffling through our things. Then it progressed to someone walking around in our kitchen and living room area in the middle of the night. Checking never found anyone. A few months passed and my mother, who had owned the cat that passed away, woke one night to find a man standing over her bed. She said he was dark. Like he had been draped in shadows. He would stand there for hours, not quite looking at her. Then the noises during the day started. Things started moving out of the corner of our eyes. Then the whispers in our ears, like someone’s trying to get your attention. But nobody was ever there.

We finally, out of desperation, tried walking through the house with a stick of sage and a prayer. That seemed to to the trick for now. Though we still hear and see a few small things. But we’re moving in the next six months, so it doesn’t matter much.

So back to my question. Is it at all normal for a human shaped ghost to manifest after a beloved pet has passed away in the home? Is it just an opportunistic ghost? Or something else?

When I was little I was able to see “people” that weren’t there, as nobody else saw them. Now I find as I am driving I can see them on both sides of the highway, some are mirror-like meaning you can only notice them because they look exactly like the surroundings except it doesn’t match up. Others look like regular people except they are cloudy and you can see through them. They are always very busy doing what I do not know and never notice me.

Yesterday I was looking out of my sons window watching these people coming in and out of his house, and last night I saw one on the side of the road sleeping, and another just fly up into the air effortlessly.

I do not feel frightened, and I only tell a very few people, some believe me some do not. And I can also see animals as well.

I guess my question is, am I crazy?  Am I hallucinating?

Where did the spiritual entity go? Or will it return? / Man in trench coat, what does this mean?

Around the years 2009-present – Me and my family members have witnessed Paranormal “occurrences” first hand, and we believed our house to have a Spiritual Entity, Ghost, or whatever term you’d use.

One night we were awoken by the sound of someone walking up the stairs, it was so loud we believed it to be someone stomping loudly, my Grandmother walked down the stairs reading verses from a Bible. And every other event that happened after that has been subtle voices coming from empty rooms, doors closing, and loud creaks in the floor. Nothing too recent has come up, except for one thing that leaves me baffled, and confused. Nothing so far has been seen by the naked eye, by me and everyone else, except my grandmother.

She got up for work one morning, going outside onto our outdoor patio to have a cigarette, she said she was going about her quick cigarette break before finishing getting ready, when she noticed a man standing on-top of my Uncles house, who happens to be our neighbor. She described it as a dark figure wearing a long trench coat, coming back inside to get someone to look, the figure was gone.

Now we rarely got anything before this, and now nothing seems to be out of the ordinary around here, I also used to have a feeling of being watched constantly, and was terrified of being home alone, but those feelings seem to have faded.

Now for the ACTUAL question.

What “Exactly” was in our home? Will the spirit(s) return? And what has my Grandmother seen? And what does this mean?

Thank you so much for taking the time to review and answer these two questions. I really appreciate this.
