Ghost Pets & Other Animals

They curl up on the bed. You hear their tags jingle. You feel the brush of fur that shouldn’t be there. Could it be your beloved pet… returned? 🐾

In our final deep dive of the season, we examine ghost pets and other animals by digging into true accounts, folklore and research on animals in the afterlife - and tackling hard questions like Do animals even have souls? If my dog is a ghost does that mean they’re stuck? And what reasons would they have to stay behind…or come back?

From comforting visits by ghost cats and dogs to local legends of phantom birds, battle horses and bears - Today we’ll unpack one final strange corner of the ghostly phenomenon: the “earthbound” afterlife of animals.

We’ll explore:

🐾 Intelligent animal hauntings vs. residual

🐎 Phantom horses of battlefields and backroads

🐖 Bizarre cases of ghost pigs and monkeys

🐦 Spectral bird reports and legends

👻 A philosophical question about the boundary between spirit and ghost - and what that might mean for the animal in the afterlife
