Animals and Hauntings: Are There Animal Ghosts?

[staarker]

There is an old wives tale that tells of being able to see spirits through a cat or dog’s eyes if you stand behind them and look over their head in the direction they are staring.

Countless people have reported being scared out of their wits when their dog or cat stops suddenly on the way down the hall and begins to growl or hiss at something unseen. There have been reports of dogs refusing to go down the stairs of a basement in a reportedly haunted house and cats refusing to enter the attic.

Many paranormal investigators use dogs for exactly this reason. Canines especially seem to be sensitive to the unknown, and are pretty good at sensing when things are not right. They are the ones that refuse to travel further down a dark road or are reluctant to enter the woods at certain spots. This is prevalent in Native American legends where parts of the woods were deemed to be evil places because animals would not venture in.

There is also some talk that animals do not have souls, and therefore can not return after death. If animals are made from the same stuff as humans, why can’t they come back? There are many stories out there about a loved pet returning to visit their family after death, either through the sound of a collar jangling, the scent of the animal, or the actual physical contact of seeing the animal or feeling them curl up on the end of the bed.

Another theory in this case is that as we love our pets, we “give them” life, a spirit so to speak. This is an energy created from all of the emotions that we have in connection with them. Whatever your beliefs about animals having a spirit are, it is likely that if humans can manifest as spirits, so can animals. https://anomalien.com/animals-and-haunt ... al-ghosts/

I believe that there are/or could be some ghost that are animals. I mean, humans are technically animals right? We are just a higher form of an animal. So, if we can be ghosts, then it only seems logical that all/or most animals could be ghosts also.
