Almost the same effect of a good horror movie or ghost story... sometimes even when you know it's an invented story it can really have a very scary impact! I have a somewhat overactive imagination about things like ghost stories, so I'm easily freaked out by this kind of thing. I can never go to staged haunted houses around Halloween time... I would truly be traumatized by that kind of thing. Again, even going to one of those haunted houses, knowing logically that it's all imaginary and staged, I'd still get too, too freaked out for it to be any fun for me.
I live in a very old building and there are aspects of living here (lots of creaking sounds at night, etc.) so I often find myself feeling a little bit spooked.
I keep hoping that being the pet-parent to a black cat might somehow magically off-set or cancel out any ghosts or other scary phenomenon. ;) :)

How old is the building you live in Amanda? I love old buildings and old houses too :) Now I remember your black cat Vivien. There is a picture of her on here somewhere.
Brown Eyes:
Yep, this is Vivien... It's a pic of her that my Dad took when she was one year old (she's now almost 3) and she's shown lounging on an air mattress that she has since managed to deflate with her claws. She used to love to play on this air mattress. I had to go out and buy a new one recently.
And, my leasing agent told me that the building is from the 1920s and it definitely feels old as a stucture. It has lots of character. For intance, my apartment has a really pretty non-working fireplace and really high ceilings with nice molding, etc. The creepy aspects of the building include the really, really long hallways in the common corridors that are carpeted with a black and red swirling design (a really wacky carpet selection really). Everyone who comes over says the hallways remind them of the Shining.
Also, I've posted elsewhere about the weird waterpressure in the building that sometimes causes the toilet to gurgle in unpleasant ways and even very occasionally to flush itself! Once the faucet in my bathroom turned on by itself too. I really do explain all of this as part of the exceptionally strong water pressure in the building (taking a shower can be great in my apartment because the water can be so strong... it's like a massage if you want it to be). Still, it can be very spooky when it happens.

Your building sounds great Amanda!!! Although I'm sure it is scary when strange things happen. I love the Shining. Did you know that the hotel in Estes Park was the one that the tv mini series was filmed in? And here is a picture of Code although I think most of you have already seen it. He is between 2 1/2 and 3 years old now so he is about the same age as Vivien. Maybe they are related since I don't know where he came from :)
