Home, sweet (haunted) home

2700 miles later, and we are finally home! We drove 600 of the final 900 miles yesterday so that we could get in early enough today to pick the dog up and stop for groceries.

Our cat sitter came by this afternoon to give us back our key, and he shared the most interesting story with us. I had shut the cats in the kitchen/butler's pantry while we were gone, but they kept managing to escape and get out into the rest of the house. That's not the weird part though!

The weird part is that one day when he came by, he couldn't find Harvey anywhere. Finally he followed the sounds of the howling and found Harvey shut in the basement in what we not-so-affectionately refer to as the "blood room." Seriously, could anything be creepier? It looks like something out of a horror flick:



Somehow, Harvey had managed to (1) escape the kitchen/butler's pantry; (2) get through TWO closed doors (the one to the basement in general and then the one to hell's bathroom); and (3) shut the door behind himself. Do we really think he did all that on his own? Hmmmmm . . .
