Best thing when weird stuff like that happens and only happens to you: tape recorder. If nothing else, it acts as a placebo that you are doing something to monitor it. Likely causes and I hope they are the real causes: your own stress combined with a cat that has a mind to play tricks on you by trying to watch some good ol' Doctor Who. Which Doctor is it by the way? Stress makes us do strange things that we often forget the reasons we did them. Couple this with a mind that all ready accepts paranormal activity and you have for some really really keep-you-up-at-night ghost experiences. And the reason the ghost travels to your neighbor's house... he likes to party...
While paranormal stuff scares the bejesus outta me for no other reason than I can't explain it, I know that the world I live in is based on rules (well it better goddamn well be). If I don't entirely understand those rules, too bad for me, I ought not fear them. I imagine I won't be pulled into my closet because some poltergeist confuses me with the real light...
F***! that movie still scares the piss out of me. I have watched damn near ever other ghost horror scary movie... and Spielberg's Poltergeist still gives me that intense must-run-now feeling. It isn't the effects, it isn't idea, it is the way the actors portray fear and the music behind each of the scenes.
Jeeze I miss the good ol' days of having night terrors and the like...

One thing I did not mention in that post, was that the reason I didn't remember what my friends were talking about was because I had "spaced-out" for over 20-30 minutes. I try not to remember how long the IM logs were recording before I looked up.
