Cats are weird, which is why we love ’em. Cats get even weirder when the supernatural is afoot. Turns out Lucia Peters follows Adam Ellis on Twitter. Adam’s regaling his followers with the antics of his ghostbuster cats in his haunted apartment. There’s a bit of science to bolster Lucia’s argument for paranormal pets. But who needs science when you’ve got psychology? Pets have never been browbeaten by pseudoskeptics with “There’s no such thing as ghosts”. When it comes to The Hound Of Evanston, this black shuck gained notority after Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Hound of the Baskervilles. Yet Chris Woodyard reckons this could be a case of art imitating life, rather than the other way ’round. Humans, on the gripping hand, are still weirdness magnets. Case in point: The Phantom Battle Of Utrecht where an army audience thrilled to the next day’s bloody coming attractions high in the sky. Sounds a helluva lot more fun than the cape films being rammed down our throats in this here 21st century. (CS)
