How long do ghosts live?

Seriously, Who you gonna call?

p.s. what the hell is a Fey?

Also, if Ghostbusters is considered an authoritative source in this discussion (and I honestly can’t see a reason it shouldn’t be - it was driven by Dan Akroyd’s legitimate interest in the paranormal) then the answer to “how long do ghosts live” is clearly “way too long - they’re bad neighbors”.

A member of the ‘fair folk’: elves, fairies, brownies and the like. More specifically we’re talking about something closer to Tolkien elves than Keebler elves, and closer to socipathic monsters than Tolkien elves.

Think Tooth Fairy…with pliers and a castle made entirely of human teeth.

Look around you is simply brilliant! It’s seriously dumbed down for children though, so you should cite the underlying research.

I don’t get why you’re so convinced of the cat’s innocence in this matter…animal telepathy is certainly as plausible an explanation, and your cat is probably more inclined (than some dead guy you never knew) to “just mess witb you.”

The cat’s telepathic claws could easily be mistaken for the little cuts described in the OP … I think you’ve cracked it, Jubilee!
