I have been busy but, just today, realized that tomorrow is Halloween. I think that all of us, over the years, have heard our share of ghost stories and tales that will curl our hair. Since I first told this true story in May a year ago, my friend and nemesis, Charles Buell, has attracted a wide following. Unfortunately, many of his subscribers and followers keep track of Charles primarily to see what type of nasty shenanigans he will pull on my certifried assistant Nutsy S. Wallenda. The true tale of Mr Charles Buell's terrifying moment was first recited here in May 2008. If you are a fan of the Buell, and you like a really good scare, then check out this old link which is being recycled for Halloween. I am sure that many of Mr Charles blind legion of fans, as of today, have never read this story of the big guy cracking under pressure. It is not everyday that a home inspector runs into a giant flying cat. Thanks for stopping by, Steven L. Smith

Great story - I love cats, Washington State, dusk, and even - sometimes - home inspectors!
Joetta,
Everyone likes the story except for Charlie. He had such a fright and he hates to relive it in public.
Charlie,
I am so glad that reliving this did not send you back to having to take your meds.
Steven - I think Charles disappeared ... hmmmm, step away from the medicine cabinet! LOL. ~Rita
Rita,
This event pretty much turned his backbone to jelly
I do recall this tale of terror. Ol Chuckie Bee was caught in a weak moment. Good thing you saved his bacon.
Steven great story, I wasn't a member back in 2008, so this is the first I hear of this. Gosh, good thing you showed up the way you did. Poor Charles, no idea what could have become of him that night.
Suesean,
I really and truly believe that some of Chuckie Bees weird twitching and comments are a result of this horrendous experience.
Charlie may have been scared, but what about the knee knocking. Sounds like you were just as scared as Charlie. You both should have called me. I'd have saved you.
