Description

The "Demon Cat" (or "D.C.") is a famous Washington, D.C. ghost story—a menacing, spectral black cat reportedly seen in the U.S. Capitol basement before national tragedies. Witnesses describe it as starting as a normal-sized cat before expanding to an enormous, monstrous size with glowing yellow eyes, often vanishing or lunging.
