Can my rental house be haunted by a cat? Several months ago I heard a cat screaming and it was either just outside or under the house. I went outside and did not find it. The yard is fenced. Sure, a cat can jump, but I heard it multiple times and never found it. It sounded like it was under the house. I opened the crawl space and looked in with a flashlight. It was raining and I didn't see anything. I left it open and opened the gate, thinking it would escape. Then I placed some ham outside to lure him out. At one point the screaming was so bad that I half crawled in through a puddle of water. The next day I looked in and saw dog's legs. It was creepy because I only saw the legs because the rest of it was hidden by the wooden beam. I left the crawl space open the rest of the day then closed it. I figured if there was anything still inside then it was going to starve. I was done messing with it.

Then last night I heard a cat scream and I swear to God it ran across the floor, under the house. A different part, under the living room. I don't know how it would have gotten under there.
