Overview
Paranormal investigator Joshua Warren thought his dachshund was dead, but for weeks after her death he still heard her shrill, desperate whining haunting his home. Using an array of high-tech equipment, he searched for her presence. What he found led him on an exploration of ghostly animals throughout history. That exploration is here, in ""Pet Ghosts"". Ancient and medieval texts from all cultures are filled with references to spectral creatures, from witch's familiars like ominous cats and owls, to giant hellhounds and werewolves. Some beasts, such as fire-breathing dragons, Bigfoot and Mothman, may even be spirits of mysterious extinct animals. Today, reports of ""phantimals"" are as abundant as ever. In ""Pet Ghosts, Warren recounts many real-life experiences: a man haunted by the cackling calls of his dead African Gray, a ""Christmas dinner hog"" pursuing the farmer that killed him, and a snake that slithers between this world and the next. Many animals can sense information beyond human ability. Dogs and cats can hear more, birds can see more, and some fish even have a sixth sense for magnetism. What makes the relationship with your pet so special? Perhaps that's what often keeps them around long after death.
