Ghosts and Cats

I ran across this article while I was trying to decide whether "jungle" is an appropriate way to describe the impenetrably dense vegetation on Guam:

It's fun for a read! I'm not sure exactly which hill they are describing as "mystery hill," but we could trying spending time on different hills in the area until we meet a ghost... Though, here is more information about the "white lady" --

Our friend Carol was having trouble with ghosts - taotaomona - in her house. They were coming through at 4:00 every afternoon and setting off her security alarm; the alarm company kept coming out to her house and trying to adjust the alarm to be less sensitive (it was already set so that Carol's large dogs wouldn't trigger it), but the spirits kept setting it off. The house is on or near an ancient pathway of some sort, and Carol's theory was that the spirits were probably coming in from fishing every day at that time. 

This seems plausible to me; I know I had a ghost in New Orleans who would pester me for a sip of whatever I was drinking - Nick witnessed this! - and occasionally play tricks like flinging open the fridge in the middle of the night. After Athos Cat came to live with me, the ghost finally gave it up - if you knew Athos, you'd agree that it makes sense that he'd drive out a ghost! Well, he was a good cat. 

I'll bring this post around full circle and say that if we get this apartment, we may have to get a Guamanian cat - and perhaps such a cat could help out, if we ever have trouble with taotaomona from the jungle!
