Animal Ghosts
There aren't, to my knowledge, any reports of phantom mosquitoes or flies, etc. Perhaps only the intelligent species have souls? Those and other questions remain unanswered. Man is the only species that some day realizes that he or she will terminate and leave this world. All other species simply exist from day to day and die without being able to communicate to us that possibility that they in fact are dying.
I have been investigating many reports of phantom animals and have come up with some interesting case scenarios to present here. Remember, as with humans, not all animals will be perceived as ghosts someday only because of the way that animal has died. The scenario for "human" ghosts is usually one of a violent or tragic death and the "not realizing" that he or she has died because of the suddenness of some deaths. However, great love of an animal or the constant grieving of the loss of your pet will sometimes have the same effect as a sudden, violent or tragic death; it will will your animal to return for a short time.
In the Chicago suburbs at the border of civilization and the Cook County Forest Preserves is a fairly busy intersection, 95th Street and Kean. There are stables nearby and horse-riding trails wind their way through the lush flora. One of the trails must cross the busy and dangerous 95th Street to continue on the other side.
Until recently there was no traffic control device there to allow those on horseback to cross safely and quite a number of people were injured and at least seven were killed including some horses as well. The reason the intersection is so dangerous is twofold. One, the speed limit is 45 mph there but many do 50 mph or better coming out of the forest preserve and going into the city, and, two, there is a rise that obscures the drivers view of the individuals attempting to cross the street. At that speed, sometimes by the time the driver sees the people, it's already too late.
There have been numerous incidents especially at night or near dusk of motorists complaining of seeing what appears to be a horse and his rider in silhouette attempting to cross from one side to another. But as the driver begins to slow down and watch them more carefully, suddenly there's nothing there. These figures don't simply disappear near one side of the street or the other, but often right in the middle of the road!
They are best described as smoke grey silhouettes without any recognizable features but are often only seen from afar.
There have even been ghostly reenactments of some actual events at that intersection as well. On one occasion, a motorist saw what appeared to be a horse throwing his rider from the saddle right in the middle of the road before disappearing. Some have seen a horse apparently being dragged down the roadway a bit as though a car had impacted with it and would have dragged it a little ways before coming to a complete stop.
In Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia stands the large grave marker of author Ellen Glasgow who was well known in Richmond and lived there for a good portion of her life. When she died, she stipulated in her will that her two pet dogs who had died prior to her death, be exhumed from her backyard and buried with her at Hollywood. Many claim that they have heard these dogs on occasions, scampering around quite near to that grave late at night.
At Hinsdale Animal Cemetery in a suburb just southwest of Chicago another mystery takes place. Passerby's have often seen the black forms of dogs and other creatures flicker by in their headlights many times causing them to slam on the brakes, only when they do, often, there's nothing there. Perhaps some real animals are attracted to the massive remains of so many other animals? Perhaps. Perhaps not.
So, you decide for yourself if you believe in ghostly animals.

After our dog, Snowball died, I saw him in our hall at home. He was saying goodbye to me. I felt tremendous relief, because he knew I could see ghosts and he came to me to tell my husband and I that he was alright, and to lay him to rest in our pasture, which we did. It made me feel like I had done something right. Blessed be!

Yesterday I was cleaning the house and getting ready for our daughter to come visit . I was in the kitchen cooking and saw her old black cat out of the corner of my eye . She called him Bear Cat ,but one of his many nicknames was Beady . She was in the other room with her dog and the look I got from Beady was grumpy and mad . He had a stare when he was displeased that no one could mistake ! Little Bead was not amused at the large loud dog in his personal space .
He sometimes can be felt jumping up in your lap or lying on you . He will play with the current cat if he is in the mood . I only rarely see his appariton and he is the same as he always was only slightly transparent .
Several of the cats have returned and occasionaly horses and dogs . Usually I only get a sense of their prescence . The horses will whinny and seem to be running and playing with their ghost herd buddies .

Things That Stuck With Me
Just registered after digging a little deeper into some phenomena that I've experienced. I found out others have had the same things going on, that's why I want to share with you some things I experienced in my life. Now, the reason they stuck with me and I can still remember them is because, wel...Ghost Dog Or Something Else?
I've finally gotten brave enough to submit this experience to see if anyone else has had anything similar occur to them. I've submitted one story and thought I would go in chronological order with others but this recent set of experiences has me perplexed. This will take some preliminary explanation...My New House Might Be Haunted... Part 2
I was telling some of my friends about all the things that had happened to me in the past and what is happening to me now, and one of them had an interesting theory. (This is my second posting to this site and you should read my other story to get the full picture by the way.) First up, the ghost en...Ghosts All Round
Hey guys, I just have a few stories to get you interested. It started in 2007 and it's 2013 now. I was 10 at the time and I wasn't really much into scary stories ghosts or anything like that.

This is very recent and it was last night. Got back from active and later I noticed from the side of my eye I would see something instant rarely, but it was nothing.
