Needless to say I would have LOVED the $$$$.<br /><br />As for the dogs seeing ghosts, OH YEAH. My aunt moved to a new house months after we moved her in her Welsh Terrier kept following with her head an invisible something move up and down the stairs and thru her living room. We later found that the man who owned the house use to walk the stairs pacing to wait up for his cheating wife. He died on the stairs from a heart attack waiting for her to return from a night out.ardleighstreethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13182046463125498379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-20929700267610055952010-10-30T16:48:42.202-07:002010-10-30T16:48:42.202-07:001.

He was raised by other medicine people. He had a fascinating life and I had a few interesting "supernatural" experiences over the years I was with him.<br /><br />In the teachings he shared with others, he often talked about how dogs could see spirits (ghosts) and he was always very aware when one or all of our three dogs reacted strangely, especially at night. <br /><br />In addition, he talked about how young children could also see spirits, but most would lose their ability once they got older.<br /><br />His explanation was that young children and animals were "pure" and spirits were able to show themselves to them. My husband could also see spirits and I know a couple of other people who could. They were all very quiet about their abilities -- not like the mediums you see on reality TV.penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13762791453534265972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-82279074635585198872010-10-29T16:46:44.752-07:002010-10-29T16:46:44.752-07:00My childhood best friend died trick or treating, s...My childhood best friend died trick or treating, she got hit by a car.

The night after my...I think animals can see ghosts. The night after my cat, Lucy, died, my other cat, Esther, came into the bedroom, jumped onto the bed, and started to hotfoot her way up to the head. It was dark, but she's a loud walker for a cat, and I've been listening to her nighttime noises for 17 years, so I know what she was doing. ANYway, after she started quickly making her way up the bed, she even more quickly stopped and fucking CLAWED her way back to the foot and off the bed. She was moving so fast she bypassed her little step-stool [she's old and has arthritis. shut up] in favor of jumping straight to the floor, then she tore out of the room. This was weird enough, but she flat-out refused to go into the bedroom for at least two weeks after that. I would carry her in and put her on the bed, and she would immediately leave. A few days after Esther's bedroom freakout, I was awake during the night and I felt [swear to god] a cat paw drag down my back. It was a gesture Lucy used to make every day of her life--to get our attention, she would put her paw on us and drag it (like she was clawing, but she never scratched us). I could maybe explain away the sensation as a hallucination or whatever, but I think it was Lucy. I think her ghost hung around a few days after her death, and I think Esther saw her.Paleo Damehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07663310761827013066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-17095418060680961092010-10-29T13:35:53.890-07:002010-10-29T13:35:53.890-07:00Definitely candy, preferably Reeses Peanut butter ...Definitely candy, preferably Reeses Peanut butter cups or snickers. <br /><br />That being said, when I was a kid one Dad in town used to grill hot dogs for all the kids. everyone went to that house, it was great.That would not fly in this day and age! and that is sad!skeeballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07030330196695274195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-35412957825532301342010-10-29T13:29:51.812-07:002010-10-29T13:29:51.812-07:00I know ghosts exist because I've seen them wit...I know ghosts exist because I've seen them with my own eyes.
