Been following this pattern with my own cat for about three years now. She'll sit bolt upright at 2am staring at the same spot near the skirting board in the hallway, hackles up, the lot. Never actually runs away though, just stares. That's what gets me - most haunting accounts describe animals fleeing, but mine seems almost transfixed rather than frightened.
Has anyone tried logging the times it happens? I started keeping a notebook and there's a loose pattern on certain nights that I cant fully explain yet. Could be infrasound, could be something else entirely.
What I'd genuinely like to know is whether the animals in these accounts are reacting to a fixed point in space or whether the focus of their attention moves around the room. Because that distinction might actually matter for working out what we're dealing with. Has anyone managed to capture it on camera with night vision?
