It is another day of the uncanny Halloween Advent calendar, and this case is deeply weird.

Our witness is Rebecca.

She says, hi, Danny, I live for 11 years in Lavinumum Suffolk, renting a flat in a Tudor house.

Eventually, the landlady told me how to leave as she wanted her relatives to move in.

I was packing up to go and had taken the boxes downstairs when I realised I hadn't emptied the cupboard in my bedroom.

I went back upstairs and opened the cupboard doors and half a cat, the back end, ran out of the cupboard.

It was a normal-sized ginger cat, but just the back half, and it seemed eager to get out.

It then arched its half back to get under the bed and disappeared.

I knew I wouldn't see anything under the bed,

but I had to make myself check. There was no sign of any half cat. I moved out that day, so never

had to sleep there again. It was odd that the cat was not of this world, but still had to arch to

go under the bed, so it was interacting with physical objects, not running through them.

People used to put cats in the walls of Tudor properties for protection, so perhaps there was a cat or half cat in that property still looking out for us.

Thank you, Rebecca. So weird. How do we fath this? Half-cat hallucination or partial feline phantom?

It is a twisting-turning,

running rabbit warren of a world,

full of forgotten connections to land and to power,
