My best friend called me on Christmas Eve night back in 2006. She was crying hysterically because her cat that she'd had since she was a little girl died in a freak accident. She was 20 at the time of her loss. She probably got the cat when she was around four, so it was an old cat.
What had happened was her mother had the television in her room kind of teetering on the edge of the dresser and the cat jumped up there to chill by the TV. Well it knocked the TV down and the poor kitty went with it... crushing her little head. She died.
Well at Christmas time last year (2007), I was at her house hanging out and doing my Christmas cards. I had an MP3 player earplug in one ear and I was talking to my best friend at the same time.
Well all of a sudden I heard a cat's meow. I blew it off at first because my best friend must have had a cat somewhere near her. But then I remembered... she had a dog now. So I ripped out my earplug and she was just staring at me. I asked her, "Did you just hear a cat?" She smiled and said, "I was wondering if you heard it too... yeah I did hear it."
I asked her if she got a cat and it was just hiding somewhere but she said no. Then I tried to tell myself it was outside... but the meow sounded as if it were sitting in my lap. Plus there were kids outside running and screaming.
She said that she'd been hearing the meow for about a year now and that it had followed her from her mom's house to her new apartment. I thought it was cool. That's when I suggested that it was maybe her cat and if you think about it... it was a year later. She flipped and said, "Oh my God you're probably right!"
She's since moved from that apartment to a different complex and now a cat that looks exactly like her cat, with the belly that drags the floor and everything, now walks around her apartment building at night. So she's happy that her kitty is still with her.

My Ghost Friend Emma
Hi I'm Hallie. I'm 23 and my best friend is a ghost. She calls herself Emma and she died when she was 10. She doesn't tell me her last name or how she died. I never knew her when she was alive, she just came to me. It all started when I was a year old, well that is what my mum told me. My first word was Emma and my mum didn't know where it came from because my mum had no friends called Emma or anyone we are in touch with. I'll take you back to when it all started.
After my first word my mum explained to me that I used to sit in the corner of the room and talk to myself. This was when I was about four. She just thought it was an imaginary friend so she left it alone.
A couple of more years went by and my friend was still there. My mum took me to a psychiatric hospital where the doctor saw me. He said it was just a figure of my imagination and sent me off.
When I was 10 it got a lot worse. Emma started telling me what to do like go and cut you're hand with a knife so I did. I got rushed to the hospital and I had 20 stitches in my hand. My mum thought I was suicidal and then when I told her that Emma told me to do it... well you can imagine her reaction. She took me to the doctors where they gave me some tablets to stop her from talking to me but they didn't work because she wasn't imaginary. She is still with me now and my children see her as well.

My Cat Has Not Left
Two years ago I found a small kitten in our garbage can, taped in a paper bag and duct-taped shut. I brought the kitten in and gave him food and a bath.
He ended up living at my mother's house for another year when he disappeared after being let outside. Shortly after that I began feeling a cat jumping up onto my bed and walking along. This would only happen periodically, until recently.
Now the cat is with me almost every night, and it doesn't matter if the lights are on or not. Two nights ago I watched the blankets move as if a cat were kneading it the way they do when they're purring.
I can't put my cat to rest since I do not know where his body is, and I don't know how to let go of him. But it is starting to scare my daughter who is not used to things "that go bump in the night," and I don't know how to reassure her that it is alright.

The Laughing Demon
Ten years ago, me,my mother and my sister were watching TV show in the living room. It was 10 o'clock when I felt sleepy so I went to the bedroom and slept . Now as I slept in my bed I awoke at the middle of the night. I felt this strange presence in my surrounding like something is going to happen that was very scary. As I tossed and turned in my bed because of uneasiness that I felt inside. Just as I was about to get some sleep I heard our dogs barking like someone was taunting them to get mad. Then at a sudden moment I heard an "Evil Laugh". I went to my Father's side and I tried wake him but he didn't awake so I thought to check the dogs myself. I thought it was a burglar so I opened the window and peeked outside for the burglar. Thinking I would catch him in the act but then I saw a cloaked figure with eyes glowing red like those eyes you see in horror movies. I was stunned to what I saw so I hesitated as my face gone pale of what I saw. After minutes of seeing the cloaked figure he moving towards me with his hand raised like he was going to grab me. As I saw this for seconds I fainted and fell in the floor from the chair that I knelt on. I woke up in the morning sweating in my shorts and found out I slept in the kitchen! So From that moment on the demon never bothered me again.

Sri Lanka Ghost Story
The story began in Sri Lanka, Kandy in a small area named Wattapoluwa. In 1972 a couple got married and lived happily and had children, one boy and a girl. The husband and wife were building a house. When the house was half built the carpenter had a sudden accident and passed away. After the persons death the house was built.
After many years when the parents got old and the children got big they heard weird noises as if someone was still building the house. One day the father and son took a knife and looked to see what the noise was about. Just as they opened the door a figure such as the man who passed away was in front of them. Then the father asked what he wanted and he replied that he was not finished building the house and that he would come back for his money. If the money was not paid he would put a curse on him and the family.
The father and son were horrified and ran back to the house like mad men and screamed at the mother. The mother reported her husband and sons behavior. Soon the whole family was sent to prison for false evidence because many people arrived to see the ghost but nobody saw them.
After a long time one by one they started dying from various infections and the story goes that the ghost killed the family and then the girl of the family who did not die lived to tell the story.

The Ghost Next Door
When I was little my mum would say go outside and play. When I went outside I would climb the fence and go to this little old house next door. Inside the house was a little girl. Her name was Jess, she never had her parents there they were at work she would say so we would play together. Then at 3:00 I would go home and play with my sister. I never saw her at school because I was six. She always stayed six but I didn't worry.
One day I asked her to come to my house so I could show her to my mum but she gave me a photo of her instead. I showed it to my mum. She said that little girl died in a car crash years ago. I didn't believe her so she took me to her gave and it said Jessica and that she had died at age 6, that's why she never changed in age.
From than on I never saw her again so now I still wonder if I should have returned to the old house but I never did. The house was knocked down and I still wonder who I was really talking to; a ghost or a real girl named Jessica. I have forgot most of it now anyway so it doesn't matter now. I was very scared years later when I realized I was talking to a ghost.
