My boyfriend and I had just moved into an apartment that we found out was the former apartment of the newly deceased elderly land lady. Her daughter was in the process of trying to sell the building when we moved in. We had 2 new kittens that were soon acting strangely - meowing alarmedly at the walls and following something invisible to myself and my hubby. We did not think much of it as we don't believe in something unless there is proof.
A few weeks later I was doing some wood crafts and for a couple of days I was working with some pretty strong chemicals. One night, soon after, I was asleep beside my boyfriend. I awoke to the feeling that something was brushing around my head. I looked around, and felt that something was hovering over the bed. One of my kittens, for the first and only time, came up to me and placed herself near my neck and chest as if to protect me (?) or comfort me. I soon saw this blue apparition - it looked like a blue jack-o-lantern. It kept coming towards my head and I could hear a sizzle, like energy was around my head (I was closing my eyes, too frightened to look).
I was too terrified to even scream. I tried to poke at my boyfriend to awaken him but was too weak to wake him - I was frozen with fear. At last the apparition said to me in this scratchy, mocking voice "Are you scared of me?" Then it disappeared and I in time stopped shaking and fell asleep. The next day when I told my boyfriend about it he said, "It was probably a hallucination - you've had too many paint fumes..." But I guess I'll never know. The cats continued to meow at invisible objects around the walls until we moved a year later, but I never felt a "presence" again. But now I have an open mind when it comes to the paranormal.
