3/21 - VIRGINIA Investigaters are on the lookout for "The Demon Cat of Capital
Hill." According to an ABC News report
the best known Capitol ghost story
is that of the Demon Cat. Legend has it
that shortly before a national crisis, the phantom feline lurks about with
glowing eyes, hissing and chasing the guards. Every time the cat appears, it
is said to grow larger and more menacing. It may sound silly, but many
Capitol employees swear it’s true. And, supposedly, Capitol police have
shot at the cat, only to realize they were alone in an empty hallway.
In the Old Senate Rotunda, a cat’s prints can be seen in the floor, evidence,
some say, of the Demon Cat. The story, and possibly the paw prints, likely
have their roots in the days when cats policed the mouse and rat population,
roaming the Capitol’s passages among shadows thrown by the flickering lanterns.
Brian Bradley, of VGHRS is the investigator in
charge of Demon Cat sightings on Capital Hill. The cat is expected to appear any time
now. If you have seen it, please contact Brian Bradley

These photos were captured January 16, 2003. J Lo writes: I am not sure if these pictures even are anything but I have
been watching the Ghost Cam at Willard Library from time to time and I
captured these pictures a while ago.
In the top right hand corner there is a grey shadow/figure in both the pics.
I have been thinking it may just be someones coat over a chair back but I
cannot see the rest of the chair. It is kind of difficult to tell and I have
zoomed in and am still none the wiser.
HHW writes:
After looking at the photos, and using the other chairs & the shelves in that area for scale,
we feel that there is a chance that this might not be a jacket over a chair.
It almost seems too high. And did you notice that the "jacket"
moves about half a foot to the right from one picture to the next? And at the top
it seems transparent? What do you think? Thanks J Lo!
Orbs in NYC?
Submitted by Maria. Photo taken somewhere in Manhattan, summer 2002. Are those orbs in that
tree? What do you think?
