The castle, the trip and the cat are real. The Grey Lady is imaginary: it's just a story told by the guide.

Le texteA night at the castle
Last October, my class went on a school trip to Scotland. We slept in an old castle near Inverness. The guide told us that the castle was haunted: three hundred years ago, a lady in a grey dress disappeared in the tower, and people still hear her at night.
Of course, nobody believed him! But at midnight, I woke up. There was a strange noise in the corridor, like footsteps. My friend Zoe was awake too. « Did you hear that? » she whispered. We took our torches and opened the door very slowly. The corridor was dark and empty. Suddenly, a grey shape ran past us! Zoe screamed and I dropped my torch.
Then we heard a « miaow ». It was Misty, the castle cat! She was grey, and she was hungry. We laughed for ten minutes. In the morning, the guide smiled and said: « So, did you meet the Grey Lady? » We didn't tell him the truth.
