So for a little context I stay in central scotland, and don't believe in ghosts or anything paranormal really despite having these 2 experiences and another one which has really effected me, but I still choose to try and not think about what it may have been.

These happened probably about 2/3 years ago now so not recent, but my friend recently admitted to me that recently he has had something similar happen (stay 2 doors down from me) so I thought I'd let this sub help us to get some peace at mind.

The first experience I had was one night when I was home alone and going to sleep (these only happened when home alone) when I was disturbed by what sounded like one of my cats scratching at my brothers door.( my door was the only one that was open since the cats are in and out all night) but instead of scratching at the carpet like they usually do, it was like they were scratching at the actual door itself with they're claws out, but something felt off so I didn't make a move.

It felt way to heavy to be my cats and it went on for minutes. At this point I was already kind of freaked out but immediately after stopping I could hear whatever it was darting from my brothers door at the end of the hall to the top of the stairs at the other end over and over again. Anybody who owns cats knows that thwy do strange things like that every once in a while but I knew that this wasn't either of them, besides the heavy one out the both was at the foot of my bed. It sounded like it had alot of weight, like a large dog almost, and it was impossibly fast. It changed directions like it was nothing and darted the whole length of the hall in what felt like less than half a second. This went on for a couple minutes as I started getting more terrified.

Eventually it stopped at my door and that's when I remembered that it was open and Mt heart honestly nearly burst. I could hear it sort of push my door open with its head and heavy breathing, almost like a humans, before it let out a really low pitched growl and it just disappeared. Absolutely nothing else for ages. It messed me up but with time I forgot about it and didn't mention it to anybody else. That was until a few weeks ago.

I won't detail exactly what happened as it was practically the same, with the exception that I could hear it interact with things on the opposite sides of my parents room over and over at impossible speeds. Once that happened ans I decided to tell ny friend thats when he told me of his experience. It sends chills down my spine knowing that it isn't just my imagination playing tricks. I'd lile to know I'd anybody else has any similar experiences or any clue of what it could have been.
