I had a cat that once woke me up at 3 in the morning by softly patting my cheek, something it had never done before and never did again. I looked at the cat, and it gestured (by moving its head) to the foot of the bed, where I saw a woman (ghostly, white). She looked at me for several seconds and then bent down and disappeared.

I have had several paranormal experiences in my life (including one as a result of being an unwitting participant in an occult ritual prepared by someone who knew what they were doing). I mention this one with the cat because I was woken up to see it. Were both I and the cat experiencing a technical glitch?
