Ever since owning cats I've never been scared or afraid of any type of sudden motion or noises. It's always them, no mystery to be solved.

Inspired by r/nosleep, but without the "Everything here is true" and "You can't criticize the OP" rule. Post your scariest original short stories here.
Rules are simple:
- Be nice, criticize constructively, no name-calling.
- No obvious AI generated stories, or other spam.
- Everything posted here is creative fiction, any similarity to real life is pure coincidence.
- Prompts are allowed, but should be prefaced with "[WP]"
- Collaborative storytelling is fun, so if you'd like to continue your own story or other people's story as a series in the comments, start your comment with [CHAIN]
- Troll/Parody Stories would be allowed on Sundays, but the title should start with "[PARODY]"

How many ghosts stories are actually just cats being assholes?
82%
The other 18% is related to substance abuse and use. The rest.... Cats.
This checks out.
Why is the camera moving?
More like a zoom.
Yes after a while, but it's not completely still before that either.
