I heard many of them utter word like strange and remarkable.
These and other expressions aroused my curiosity.
I went closer and saw, as if carved into the wall, the image of a gigantic cat.
The accuracy of the image to real life was amazing.
In the image, there was a rope around the cat’s neck.
When I first saw this ghost- for I could not regard it as anything less-I was overcome with wonder and terror.
But after some time, reason came to my aid.
The cat, I remembered, had been hung in a garden next to the house.
When the fire broke out, a crowd of people had immediately gathered in this garden.
One of these people must have cut the cat down and thrown him through the window of my bedroom in an effort to wake me up.
When the other walls of the house fell in, they had compressed the victim of my cruelty into the freshly-laid plaster.
The chemical reactions caused by the flesh of the cat, the plaster and the fire must have created the image as I saw it before me.
