Took the garbage out in the dark and saw something move, then stop, then run away as I turned toward it. I called out "Rosie?" and she (neighbor's cat) ran back to me. I assume. I could have just scratched the chin of a different cat, I suppose.

I sort of saw a ghost today. I saw a woman in a crowd and it was Lori, except Lori died 3 years ago. Then I saw it was someone I'd seen before, but she didn't really look like Lori at all, except in the most superficial details. Which means I'm starting to forget Lori. A weird stage of grief.

I, of course, had to watch the sequels (even if in name only) and they just can't capture the magic of the original. The only exploitation film that comes close is They Call Her One-Eye.
