Don’t laugh. Anyone out there have an encounter with a dog’s ghost? I have been puzzled by this for several years. Three close family members (mother, father and niece) have heard their newly deceased dogs after death. My mother heard her schnauzer’s very distinctive bark right next to her bedside the same night he was put to sleep. My father heard the same bark next to his recliner as he was watching TV two hours later in another part of the house. Neither wanted to tell the other for fear of appearing as looney-tunes. They finally confessed to each other at breakfast the next morning, and were astonished (and relieved, I guess) that the other one heard it too.
My niece, a few years earlier, also heard her boxer (who was just put down that morning) walking across the hard-wood floor outside of her bedroom. She distinctly heard the clickety-clack of it’s toenails pacing outside of her door. When she opened the door, nothing was there. She went back in her room, and again heard the toenails clacking across the wood floor outside her door. When the sounds reached her door, it stopped and then she heard the sound of dog tags jingling, as if the dog shook it’s head. She refused to open the door this time.
What ties all this together is the fact that they all took place in the same 80 year-old house. My whole family has lived in this house at one time or another at separate times. I myself have never heard or experienced anything while I lived in the house. But my mother and niece, besides experiencing the dog ghosts, have both felt a hand touching them. My niece felt it on her shoulder while standing in the kitchen, and my mother was actually shoved from behind by an unseen (but felt) hand while entering the kitchen. My thoughts are: because my mother and niece both felt someone touching them, and both of them plus my father all heard their dead dogs, I’m wondering if whatever it was that touched/shoved my mom and niece was also the same entity that produced the “dog ghost” sounds. I mean, what are the odds that this house was haunted by both a “human” ghost as well as two “dog” ghosts? What are your thoughts?
And if you’re thinking all this is fantasy, forget it. It really happened, I know my family well enough to know they don’t make this kind of stuff up.
