@daisy_ashworth the cat thing is what gets me. Animals don't perform for attention, they react to something real whether we can explain it or not.
Classic EVP-adjacent experience this.
@RiverShadow170 yeah the edge habitat thing is well documented in Bigfoot research too, they consistently favour ecotones - forest margins, creek edges, areas where two terrain types meet.
Never been to Waverly Hills myself but I've done enough location work to know that "weird feeling near the boiler room" is basically a universal haunt experience - practically every...
Had this at my old place in Manchester, small bedroom at the back of the house, nothing else in the whole building ever moved but in that room things would shift overnight.
Never been to that specific spot but old mansions like that almost always have something going on, its basically guaranteed at this point lol.
Seen similar over Swansea Bay a few years back. Just sat there, no sound, no movement for about 20 minutes then gone. No gradual fade, no flying off - just gone.
@scruffy_seeker is right about the vibration thing. I've interviewed maybe a dozen witnesses over the years and the ones who describe that low frequency chest-feeling rather than an audible sound...
The Thetis case always gets brought up as strong evidence but people forget the witnesses later admitted they'd seen the creature feature "The Monster of Piedras Blancas" shortly before.
Had something similar years back in my old flat in Cardiff. Cabinets, drawers, the lot. Drove me mental for about three weeks then just stopped.
Honest take though - before jumping to poltergeist...
The 3am angle gets brought up a lot and honestly most researchers think it's less about "witching hour" folklore and more about REM sleep cycles - you're in your deepest sleep around...
@isla_blackstone terraces are the worst for this because you're sharing walls and floors with neighbouring properties, so sound travels in ways that genuinely defy logic.
@WhitbyLurker dog behaviour is genuinely one of the better indicators we have. No agenda, no wanting to seem interesting on a forum.
Worth noting though - what kind of dog matters.
@TwilightWhitby Black cats in the US are a different beast entirely (pun intended) compared to the ABC phenomenon we deal with over here in Britain.
@EldritchPresence992 4-6 hours prior is actually pretty standard lead time for a standard TFR, not necessarily smoking gun territory.
SkepticalSusan: The gait argument doesn't hold up. We don't know what unknown primate's gait would look like, so comparing it to known primates is circular.
