So spooky, Daniel. Makes you wonder what happens when the sun goes down…

Thanks so much for the mention here! Excellent story!

Was the ball really moving against the wind? Who knows. It seemed to be. In daylight I am the most cynical unbeliever there is, but once night falls …..

^THIS IS ME.

Whether or not this really happened, or whether or not there was wind and the ball was against it ... none of that matters. This gave me the chills. My mind couldn't help but think of a certain paper boat washing down a gutter and ending up revealing a clown holding a balloon ;)

Thanks Nathan. Yup, even when it was happening, I’d be lying if I wasn’t thinking, wait, this is just like ….😮

So, does that mean it was my imagination getting the better of me? I’m not sure but the dogs reaction was almost what freaked me the most. He was not happy. So I’m claiming it was his fault I did a runner 😁

Haha, yes, and you're right, there's something even more unsettling when an animal has such a reaction. They seem to be more in tune with the world than us.

Sometimes our cat will wander over to a wall and just stare at it for several minutes, as though it is watching something we cannot see 😬

Yeah, Sirius did that tonight. Sometimes I wonder if cats and dogs do it just to mess with us gullible humans 😁
