Ferret Ghost Story
Back to: Animal Ghost Stories
My grandmother seems to be experiencing some type of
activity in her household. She's not senile; she actually has all of her
wits about her. She is convinced it is our recently deceased pet ferret, "Ozzy."
Basically, he used to have the run of the house and was best buddies with our
cat. (I used to live with my grandmother but moved out a couple years ago. The
ferret was actually my pet, and I left him there with my grandmother, because I
didn't want to uproot him from where he lived his whole life, seperate him from
the cat, etc. in his senior years.)
The activity she is experiencing is her cat's
still exhibiting the same behavior he did when Ozzy was alive. He used to run to
his food dish and wait for Ozzy to join him to eat before starting to eat. He
still does this, and looks up the hall as if watching for him, then follows with
his eyes as if something is coming down the hall. He, then, begins to eat. He
also seems to follow "something" around the house with his eyes, and then gets
frisky and acts as if he is playing with something that isn't there.
It was a regular occurrence, when Ozzy was alive, for
both of them to play together. This is a very overweight cat that never played
on his own unless initiated by Ozzy. In a nut shell, the cat is acting
like Ozzy is still there.
The covers do not move,
but she can still feel him. Also, she stripped the bed and flipped the mattress
over, because at first she thought it was some animal, like a mouse or
something, doing it. She is so convinced that it is him, that she left a couple
of his toys out to see if he would move them; but they haven't moved. She is not
scared or bothered by this.
I had to have Ozzy put to sleep because he
got very ill and was suffering. We buried him next to my grandmother's
home.
