英语灵异故事-Cottage(鬼屋) 04

Apparently¹, many guests had felt and seen a variety of things. Some people just had a regular stay, without anything out of the ordinary. Others saw apparitions² of a small family consisting of a mother, father and young daughter. Many people, from 1970 until present, claimed seeing a black cat lurking³ outside of the cottage on the balcony. A twenty four year old cat! A large array of people had experiences such as funny smells, articles of clothing or jewelry⁴ missing, and furniture being moved around. Most of it seemed really light-hearted, contrary to what my experience had been the night before.

显然，很多房客感觉到或看到了一些东西。有些人住在这里的时候一切正常，没有发生什么奇怪的现象。其他有些人却说看到了一家人的鬼魂，包括妈妈、爸爸和一个小女儿。自1970年至今，有很多人声称看到一只黑猫偷偷地趴在屋子外面的阳台上。怎么可能有一只活了二十四年的猫！很多人有过奇异的经历，比如闻到奇怪的味道、衣服或首饰丢失、家具被挪动。大部分事情好像都没什么大不了的，这跟我前晚经历的情况很不一样。
