Have you ever seen your pet staring at nothing, or even moving their
head and eyes around, as though they're watching something invisible
move around before them? Has your dog ever jumped around,
whipping its' head from side to side, or going in circles, as though
chasing something that you can't see? Have you ever had a dog
growl or bark at an empty room or corner in your home? Has
your cat ever played "chase", seemingly pouncing and running after
something invisible? Or do you have a pet that stares at the
same spot all the time, even though there's nothing there?
Your pet could be seeing ghosts.
For some reason, animals can sense and see
ghosts better than people can. There is nothing that's proof
positive to support how they're able to do this, but there are
several theories. One theory is that since animals can't
speak, they have another sense that they've developed to make up for
it. It's as though some "sixth sense" has been honed by the
absence of speech.
Another theory is that because animals can see in the dark, they
have better "night vision" that enables them to see ghosts more
often than we do.
Horses are one animal that can see ghosts, and tend to react quite
dramatically when they do. Most horses are shy of the color
white, and will tend to balk around white-colored objects, whether
they be fences or trailers. It's not unusual for a horse to
have to be worked with in order to get them to overcome an issue
with an object that's white. Horses supposedly see white as a
"glowing" color in their visual range. Thus, when horses see
ghosts, the 3D effect of their own vision must make the paranormal
experience even more unusual to them...white objects can be scary
enough to most horses, but a white object that moves must be
terrifying!
An Old Wives' Tale states that the reason
animals can see and sense ghosts better than people is because
animals can't speak to us to tell us about the secrets of the Other
Side, so therefore, it's safe to impart those secrets to the
animals. |
