I have had several experiences with the paranormal and spirits most all of them involve sounds and such that could never be explained.  None of them ever involved full apparitions; that is, except for seeing the full apparitions of two of my pets that had passed over.

Neither of these apparitions has been frightening.  The first occurred when I was a child of about five or six.  I had recently lost a very beloved border collie.  When I observed this figure, I actually believed my dog was still alive.  However I later found out because he had become so over protective of me he had and would bite anyone who came near me that he deemed a threat; alas, even our mailman would not come on the entire street if I was playing outside.  It was only as an adult my mother informed me that she had, in fact, lied to me about finding him another home.  She felt she needed to put the dog down because of him being a threat to others.

What I saw was in no way frightening but it is still my reaction to the situation that makes me know it was real.  Again  I was about 5 and going down our hallway to the bedrooms.  My dog came in the hallway from the living room and passed by me.  It was so normal and happened so fast, it didn't even dawn on me that he was gone.  My reaction which I will never forget was to move over for him to the side of the hallway to allow him to pass and I just kept on walking a few feet when it hit me, my dog was no longer in my house.  I turned and of course he was gone.

I had a similar experience just a short time ago.  I had just entered a bedroom of my house when my dog (deceased) came up behind me and walked by me into the room.  Again, I just moved over slightly for him to pass and coontinued walking to the dresser in the room.  Delayed reaction again!   When reality hit me, I turned and there was no animal present .  Nothing in the room.

Nothing scary, I just shook my head and was really pleased  I had been given two chances to realize they were still with me.

Anyone else experience anything like this.

I had a dream the other night. My spirit dog. (may she RIP) came and licked my hands. Was tactile and so beautifully vivid.

[Duncansmom]

I replied to you personally but I also have to post that I have had this type of dream..  You don't ever forget the feel of that "touch".. It is something to cherish forever... or until we met them again.

I have seen the ghost of my old cat. When I was little, I frequently saw ghosts and angels. I saw the ghost of my cat after he died. I have also had dreams of him coming back to my house and telling me he's ok, in a sense.

I believe I saw an apparition of a cat. I'm not sure which cat though as three had lived/died here before this. I'll try not to make this too long.

My brother and his wife lived here where I do now for a few years prior to me moving in. They had two cats. One became sick and was having liver problems and eventually had to be put down because they couldn't do anything for him. Then after a few years they moved out and I moved in. I had four kittens that were a month or two old at the time. They all became sick and even after trips to the vet two still eventually died. The second one to die passed away in the bathroom because that's where I was keeping them at the time.

So about 3 or 4 years later I'm getting ready for work one morning and I go to the bathroom to take a shower. My one cat "Gaz", who was a sister to the two kittens who passed away, would always go in the bathroom and sit/lay on the toliet lid while I would get ready for work. The toliet is straight across from the bathtub. I had only been in the shower a couple minutes. And I was facing away from the shower head. I happened to look down and through the shower curtain I saw a grayish patch/blob? moving along the floor vertically just next to the bathtub. It would have been movng towards the shower head as I was facing away from it. At first I thought it was just water running down the shower curtain. But then quickly realized that it wasn't. As i'm watching this my cat Gaz is laying on the toilet lid facing the same direction that the gray patch/blob was moving. As soon as it got in her peripheral vision she apparently noticed it to because she quickly turned her head and looked right at it. And after she did that it just faded away.  I've never seen it again.  It is my belief that that was in fact one of the cats that had passed away here. Most likely the one that passed away in the bathroom.

I have seen two of our nine deceased cats.  One was when i was wrapping xmas presents in front of the fire and she was sat by the front door, i did a double take and she was gone. She died age 13 of liver cancer.  The other cat a big ginger tom i saw walk down the hall..i followed him to see where he went and he sort of faded out as i watched. He died age 24 of renal failure.   We've also heard one of our dogs after she passed. she was a white german shepherd with DM, so she had a very distinctive sound to her walk on our hard floors. Dogs with DM drag their back feet so its a scuffle of toe nails type sound. For about a year after she passed  you would hear her coming up behind you (sometimes id forget she was gone and automatically say hi elks, then youd turn around realise she wasnt there and remember she had passed)  Elkie died at age 14 from complications of her degenerative myelopathy

I had a pacific parotlet that rode on my shoulder everywhere I would go.  Unfortunately we were a little too comfortable together and one day I accidently crushed him .  That was years ago but to this day I will occasionaly feel him on my left shoulder.  Also he used to run along the back of my sofa while I would watch TV and for a long time  i would find a green feather there once in a while, even after I got a new couch (this hasn't happened for 4 or 5 years now).  I've never seen him him though unless you count my dreams where he is with me often.

When I lived in California, some friends told me about when their great dane died, her ghost appeared in the hallway. Joann said the sight of the dog was so realistic, that she stepped over the ghostly dog on her way to the bathroom, just like she'd done when the dog was alive.

Lady Kasey, that is exactly.. what happened to me... EXACTLY!  I stepped aside for the dog to pass.  When I took two more steps into the hallway, I remembered my dog was gone and when I turned, there was nothing there.  I was five and still clearly remember it.

I've seen the ghost of two dogs and one cat.
