Hey everyone. I have a cat, Charlie, who is about 8 months old, but he is no kitten. Hes about 10 pounds, very playful, full of energy, and loves to explore. We got him when he was 8 weeks old, and he has lived with us since. He was litter trained when we got him and has always had a healthy appetite. About a month ago, my fiance and I were lying in bed when he jumped up in bed, woke me up and told me he heard the cat say "hello". I waited and listened, but didnt hear it, until the following day. Since that night, Charlie goes in the basement of our home (which is old), he will get up on the cement legde, look at who knows what and talk. He says "Hell - low", "Mama", and a relative claims to have heard him say "Help me". I dont know the history here, but it is sometimes frightening. He will do it 10-12 times a day, always on the ledge, and in the dark. There are no bats or animals in there, nothing like that. I dont know what to think of it. It doesnt bother me that he does it, more so I just want to know why or what is going on. Everyone is convinced he is seeing something or talking to someone. Its as if there is a child down there talking when he does it, its so clear it doesnt even sound like a cat. I also have a friend of about 20 years who will no longer come to my house. She claimed (this was before we had a cat) that she would hear things at night when she was trying to sleep. She said she would hear breathing and scratching. She also always pointed it out to one corner and said that it was in the basement. I dont know if its a coincedence that she heard things, and now I have a cat who is acting beyond strange. So for my own sanity 
I would appreciate any feedback on this.

I kinda hope she sticks to "meow"
