I'm about to leave now. I need to sleep. It's late here in England. I know I am alone in the house. I can hear someone in this room breathing heavily, noisily, perhaps even snoring. It's not scary, just odd. Have I a ghost?

Don't worry Ray ... It's just me waiting for you to make me laugh again ... Us Canadians spirits are deep breathers eh ? :p

Call a friend. Or family member. 

The sound you hear is that of about 6 cats hiding under your bed. They're gonna attack and eat you while you sleep.

Probably just your stomach rumbling or you need to go to the bathroom real bad before you go to bed ! LOL

Take care Ray !

It's just me on the other end of the line trying to scare you! BOO! Goodnight Ray!

I'd opt for a doppelganger but it's hard to imagine two such curmudgeonly old geezers.

I know you don't have a cat, but do you have a dog? Both my dogs snore or will pant in their sleep.

Maybe its the ghost of the cooling or heating system! 👻

Dear Ray Dart,

(This is irrelevant to your Q, but...)

I was looking for your profile, cannot seem to find how to get that...Is RD your real name? Did you possibly take the name because of Raymond Dart, the famous Australian anthropologist famous for Australopithecus africanus or something like that?

No. I have sent a fifth cult commando, but he fell asleep. Lazy man, have him cursed!
