Animal Ghosts


Aquila King

Recommended Posts

You always hear of human ghosts, but rarely do you ever hear of animal ghost sightings.

I'd think you'd hear more of them since there are more animals then humans on the planet.

I mean yeah, you do hear of the occasional 'ghost cat' or something, but even then it's rather rare.

Any ghost enthusiasts out there care to explain?

Colin Wilson gathered a lot of stories. I use to have all his books but they were all destroyed while I was in prison.

Ghost pets do seem to be some of the most common of the animal ghosts- folks cats and dogs mostly. The most common "wild" ones seem to be the ghost/hell/fairy dogs, like hell hounds and black dogs, ect. Sometimes folks see other ghost animals, horses, deer, that sort of thing. There's the occasional famous animal ghost like Gef... But generally, yeah, ghost animals are less common than human ghosts.

Why? Probably because we are more keen on our own souls/death/ghosts than we attribute to animals. It may be because stories are more of a cryptid or "other realm" sort of thing to explain non-corporeal animal types of things. Spirit animals/totems/guides are still fairly popular.

I think ghost apparitions in humans and animals usually involves a strong psychological motivation by the entities. Animals that grew psychologically attached to humans are the most commonly seen animal ghosts. 

Going further, I think that animals that have a more sophisticated attachment to humans are more likely to indidualize from their group soul and become human in their next life.

KiaOraRa Aquila..

Animals know who they are. They don't have the psychological mind screw that humans endure, thus they are Pure.. 

Animals are in tune to the rythmn of Nature, even in the most horrible circumstances, that only arise I might add, from human control for consumption...

I have a spiritual totem.. I am a wolf, snake and bear..

No no I'm not crazy, I'm just more aware of the unseen than others..

May I ask please? Sherapy said you remind her of her boys.. How old are you friend?...

Know that's a forward question, but I felt like asking, that's what it means to be alive..

If you don't want to answer, that's absolutely fine..

Any how, peace to you AK...

What about insect ghosts? Or unicellular organism ghosts? 

Must explain all of the orbs!

I believe a certain level of psychological sophistication of the entities is required for attachment to the physical and ghostly phenomena. Doesn't happen with insects or the unicellular. I believe all life forms have souls or group souls but except for rare cases, they stay on the higher planes not detectable by our physical senses.

In my culture dogs are the guides and guardians to the gates of the afterlife That's why my people didn't eat dogs like Siouian or Iroquoian Tribes. I had dreams about my 2 little white dogs in prison. One passed right before I went away and I found the other one in a garbage bag when I was released.  A elder told me I would be stuck here after I passed but I don't believe that. I believe the dreams were just anxiety.

I’ve seen my late dog Kayla while projecting. In a few dreams as well. That’s as far as my deceased pet hauntings have gone though.

I’ve seen shadow type shapes roughly the size of a small dog or cat at end of the hallway of the house. I would glimpses it going into my bedroom late afternoon and evening.

it seems to go in cycles of seeing it off and on for two or three weeks, then many months or well over a year till you see it again. 

Thats about as close as I got. Whether or not it’s a ghost animal or not I couldn’t say for sure. Maybe it’s just swamp gas or a weather balloon in the house at times :wacko:

I wonder if we'll ever see the ghost of a killer whale then?

I thought he crossed the road to prove to the hedgehogs it could be done

Not this one, evidently.

Lots of people have experiences like that. I've even had them, myself.

But the weirdest one was the phantom litter box.

I used to keep one in the corner of an extra room in a house I used to live, and then the kitty died, so there was no need for the box.

People who came there and spent any time in that room heard the phantom cat scratching in the spot where the litter box used to be. 

Naturally, I had heard it first, but I purposely didn't say anything to guests. 

I dunno...maybe he did that so many times that it sort of became etched in time.

I am not even going to try to explain in part because I really do not know why, but you have not been near my Father's place.  I am constantly seeing and hearing basset hounds where there are none. sitting on the couch or laying on the floor, always watching me always seen from the corner of my eye but when I look straight at the spot they are gone or so it seems, be it real or imagined they are all over my father's house. and it is kinda nice having them here even if they are just imagination.

This one's worthy of a quote and a thumbs up. :tu:

Given that spirits are often described wearing clothes, or carrying various objects of some sort, it makes me wonder what those 'objects' are and how their manifested spiritually speaking.

It's not beyond my imagination for there to be a phantom litter box, but the real question is what happens with phantom kitty poo? :blink:

If I could elaborate on my previous question, then perhaps I could ask: if human spirits remain in this world due to earthly attachments and a failure to properly pass on (as many spiritualists suggest), then are the animals that remain here having the same problems that human spirits have in passing on? And if so, then why?

Or plant ghosts, single-celled organism ghosts, etc.

At some point I think we have to ask the question: 'at what size and complexity do the souls of living things cease to exist?'

Since ghost aren't real, but if they were, I want to see a t-rex ghost. 

Since they'll just pass right through you, it's all of the awesome and none of the danger. Sign me up! :tu:

I have a HTC Vive VR setup in work. There is a demo where a fully realised T-Rex charges up to you, stops, sniffs you, eyes you up, roars in your face, spittle spray and all, before running 'over' you. It's quite the experience, wish I could show you.

Just my own personal opinion here but I'd have to say "Every"
