Pet Hauntings Animals As Ghosts

October 17, 2007

Written by the Caretaker

Many stories have been written and told that deal with pets and ghosts. A lot of stories are about pets who have come “back from the grave” to interact with the living.

I once read about a returning soldier who was saved from drowning by his old faithful German Shepherd. He had to walk the last few miles to the house. It happened to be very dark in a strong wind and rain storm. Along the way he was met up by his old dog. That dog showed up just as he was about to cross a bridge and did everything it could to stop him. He eventually gave in and followed the dog up to the next bridge went across and headed on home. Somewhere along the way the dog disappeared. He assumed that it had went on home.

After he had been home for a few minutes he asked about the dog. His family members told him that the dog had died long ago. Then the next day he learned that the bridge he had planned to cross had been washed out in the storm. If he had walked out onto that bridge in the pitch black storm he would surely have drowned.

What really happened here? Did a dog actually come back as a ghost? If so how did the dog know that it needed to show up that night? The thing I really love about all these ghost stories is that they make you think. No one truly knows what the “other side” really is. Hence no one fully understands the nature of ghosts, but when we read these stories we can get hints and glimpses of real ghosts. We can recognize common threads and be better able to put together the puzzle that will answer the question, “What is a Ghost?”.

One story we have here tells about a Ghost Cat who came back to visit his former owner, an eight year old girl.

    We were 5 high school girls spending the night at a friend’s.

    I saw a kitten run through the hallway. I asked my friend about it and she said I was seeing things; she had no pets.

    Later, another girl saw the kitten. I questioned her about what color it was. It was the same gray kitten.

    I have a black cat that lives in my house with me. I have no living animals inside. This black cat is a spirit. I have seen it disapear before my eyes many times. Oh and I do have two black cats outside, but the spirit inside is bigger than they are.

    If it wasn’t a dog spirit, I’d say that it was his gaurdian angel in the form of a dog.

    I have 2 cats who guard me and they are both black. One is my late friend sophia, she was my life friend and a British Short hair comes and visit. especially when I have Tuna about. and Seb. He was an Oriental Black. He was my friends cat and we were always together when he was alive. It sounds weird I know but I feel safe with them around me and my other cat Friday picks up when they are there. Animals are more then just PETS as they love us no matter what. and will protect us at any cost. I have a way with animals and have a Dog I see called Rolo. He stopped in his tracks when he first saw me and stayed there for at least 5 mins just looking at me. Now we are friends. I have felt and see other creatures such as a wolf which followed me home when I was out late one night. he was protecting me. Kitty

    I totally believe this story. My family had a chow named Bubbles and a Poodle named Punkin. They have both recently passed away and there are times that I can hear them bark or panting. There are even times that my father and I can smell Bubbles, because she had a very distinctive smell. We live in a house that has some paranormal activity and hearing them is the icing on the cake. It actually makes us feel more comfortable knowing that they are still in the house with us.

Got something to say?
