The flat was in a very old building, built in the 16th century (central Europe). It had low ceilings, a narrow staircase, and an attic that no one dared to enter. There was something eerie about it. But the flat was beautiful, overlooking the historic centre of the city… well, I digress.

We adopted a cute little cat with our roommates. One of my roommates was particularly fond of her, always talking in baby voices at her. One evening, I was in the bathroom when I heard my roommate come home—keys jiggling in the lock, her welcoming our cat in the baby voice. So I straightened up and went to say hi to her. However, when I came to the living room, nobody was there. Only the cat peacefully sleeping on the couch. The flat was completely silent.

I couldn’t believe it. I most definitely heard her come home. Was it a hallucination or a glitch?
