Set up an experiment. Repeat the result you think you experienced.
Start with demonstrating the existence of cat spirits. We can get to your perception later. Cat spirits.
Show us one.
That's the whole problem. These experiences are usually one-offs...if they were regular and normal then they wouldn't be paranormal, now would they? However, many others experience this sort of thing so it cannot be just me.
So basically what you're saying is that the problem is that these experiences are completely indistinguishable from incredibly common and explicable tricks of the eye and mind.
Because they don't happen all the time for the same person, they cannot be investigated by science.
They do happen all the time for the same person. I'm willing to bet that wasn't the only trick of the eye you experienced that day.
However, I will happily submit myself to a psychiatrist to see if it is possible that I could be hallucinating.
Let me save you the trouble of going to a psychiatrist: people see things that aren't there all the time. It's not unusual, it's not special. If you want anyone to think you've had a special experience, and more importantly if you want to prove to yourself you've had a special experience, you'll need something more than your personal credulity.
