Woman Thinks That Her Dead Cat Visited Her Room Exactly One Year After She Died, Shows Footage

ADVERTISEMENT

A Reddit user by the name of chlochan from Swindon, England shared a video on her account in which she supposedly captured her dead cat named Blackjack. People replied with millions of explanations why this happened. Among the possible reasons were the “stray blanket” theory, a camera matrixing issue hypothesis, the contrast-brightness differential between the camera and the room, etc. Except for a few people who strictly denied the existence of ghosts, nobody knows for sure.

Meet Blackjack, who passed a year ago

Chloe gave her own perspective to Bored Panda: “It was a normal day, had been out for a few hours, had just got in and went to check my two cats were in so I could open the front door back up to take the back seats for my partner’s stepdad’s minivan out to him without the cats running out the door and getting in the way. You can see I look at the sofa, but I didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. It was only when I checked back on the camera (like I do any time we go out) that I noticed something weird, and it seemed like my cat, Blackjack, that passed away exactly a year ago.”

Here’s the video. Check out how the ‘cat’ materializes on the couch

Could this be a ghost of my cat? Anyone able to figure out what it is? from r/Ghosts

Owner’s partner and 2 other cats Logan and Rummy don’t let her feel lonely

Despite the fact that she misses Blackjack, the user definitely has someone to keep her company. She has a loving partner (you can see them both together below) and two cats named Logan and Rummy, whose photos you can see there, too. Perhaps Blackjack got bored at the Cat Hotel, and decided to visit his friends.

If you look closely at where the "materialized" cat is and then rewind the vid, you can see the shadow of it for most of the vid. It was recorded in nightvision which doesn't show colors in the same way a normal camera does (the parts of the vid that are black & white) and you can hide a lot of things in this way. To all animal lovers - I'm not saying our babes don't come back to us, just that it has never been recorded up to date. And this one is a hoax. A clever one, using technological knowledge, but a hoax still.

Interesting! But perhaps just as likely, it happened randomly and the owner is unaware of how the illusion came to be.

My Gordi-gurl brushes against my legs every now and then and jumps up on the bed (her heft is definitely noticeable) once in a while. She died a week after my mom did in 2011. After-death visitations by pets do happen; whether or not this video proves it (or not) isn't up to me. Just love your pets well while they have you.

My Mom passed away a couple months after my cat Mike passed. It comforted me to have that picture of Mike sitting on my Mom's lap in heaven in my mind.
