I was away on business and she was home alone with our cat Napoleon at our apartment complex. She said she was reading while the TV was on and our cat was peacefully sleeping on her lap.

All at once, he suddenly sat up and stared intently at the door leading outside. He then began mewling loudly and ran into the bedroom. He had never acted like that before so she assumed it was just another weird thing that cats did.


Just as she got comfortable again, the doorbell rang. She thought it was strange that someone would want to visit at that time of night, since most of our friends were most probably home and getting ready for bed themselves.

She got up and peeked through the hole, but saw nothing. Shrugging her shoulders, she turned away from the door when someone knocked very loudly. She then got goosebumps on her arms, but curiosity got the best of her and she opened the door a crack to see who it was.

She saw a male child of around 10 or 11 standing there. She opened the door and asked what he wanted. There are other apartments around us and she assumed that this child had either gotten locked out or was asking for help.

That's when she noticed his eyes. She said the light spilled out into the hall but that his eyes were completely black. She said she was frozen to the spot as the child asked to be let in. That was when the cat had come out of the bedroom and lay out on the floor, ears out and hissing.

She said she was drawn to say yes but as she stared into those black, dead eyes she suddenly slammed the door and quickly bolted it. She said she listened for the child's footsteps to walk away but heard nothing. After a few heart-stopping moments, she risked a look outside and the child had disappeared.
