The dog saw dead pepo in homers odessey.

Funny you should ask.   I asked our chickens this very question earlier today.   They all nodded vigorously and assured me that they can see both ghosts and spirits.

I believe that as well.

Yes.

I would have to say yes . I dont know if they can see them but they can sense something being there that we can't

Big time username checks out.

My other half is convinced they see ghosts.


I know they are hearing a leaf drop 200 yards away.   We can be driving in the car they can’t see or hear pedestrians in front but they both know when there is a guy walking with a dog  up the street,

Is a ghost telling them?

If they can predict earthquakes, why not see spirits?

They dont predict anything, they simply sense/feel//hear/smell it long before we do.

I am usually OK  if someone wants to think this way.  However....

It has been proven scientifically that animals have far more acute senses than Human.
Human has FIVE senses which can easily be manipulated, and the mind can be controlled.
Human behaves like Prey- just following and fighting each others.... ,  worst is giving up free-will to whoever that promised comfort .....

I often asked, is Human being played.... ?

I don't believe in haints my own self, but...


I do come from deep in the Appalachians where they have all kinds of superstitions about ghosts that I've heard all my life.  Such as:

Ghosts can't cross running water.
If you meet a man at night and he has a sprig of evergreen anywhere on him, he's a ghost.
Ghosts can't speak first, you have to speak to them first to get them to talk.
Ghosts are afraid of pocket knives.

I give these as examples to say one of the old folk's beliefs is that animals CAN see spirits, spooks and haints (specifically cats, dogs, horses and most working animals such as mules and Jacks/Jennys).  One old belief in particular is that if you think your dog/animal is looking at a ghost, look between his ears and over his nose, you can see them too.  

I’m pretty sure cats can see microscopic things. Or close to microscopic.

Our cats don't seem to do stare at things that aren't there.  My mom's dog does a lot after my dad died 2 years ago.

When I was a teen at home, our cat would sleep at the foot of my bed.  For about two months after he died, I would wake up feeling my bed shake like something jumped onto it, and in the morning there would be a round indentation in the bedspread where he used to lay.  It's been over 30 years and I've had many cats since, but I've never had a connection with one like I did with him.

Dogs can see things outside of the visible spectrum but I believe it’s limited to what we know as UV.

I don’t know if that helps. My dog just barks at any weird shit whether it’s sounds or otherwise. He’s a good pup.

I think the thought of something supernatural terrifies some folks, so they tend to deny it exists at all, "if it doesn't exist it can't frighten me"

“There Are More Things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are Dreamt of in Your Philosophy”

Now I’m concerned. I just asked my three dogs and they each said yes.

Do they stil have the video?

IDK if they can see ghosts, but I'll tell you one thing.  I'm glad my dogs can't talk about what they DO see.  

Laugh if you want but many years ago I was changing my middle sons diaper on an old dresser in our last house.

He is 11 now, and I don't recall how old he was at the time, but old enough to not do the random uncontrolled infant movement thing (normal response to stimuli) yet young enough to still be pissing in a diaper, but not old enough to do make believe shit or try to "pull one over on me".

As I'm changing him, he looks up at the ceiling, in a very particular spot above my right shoulder. And laughs. Didn't think much of it, and he stops, pauses, looking at the same spot. And breaks out in laughter again. Cooing and looking, focused eyes tracking one spot over my shoulder. I paused changing his diaper and looked slowly over my right shoulder up at the popcorn ceiling.

Nothing there of course. As I finish up changing his diaper, he does it again. The hair was standing up on the back of my neck at this point, I didn't bother looking up again, stuffed him back in his onsie or whatever and went on with life. Still creeps me the fuck out to this day though, I have 3 kids and nothing out of the ordinary has ever happened but I got a really weird (but not negative or evil) vibe from that experience.

I'm curious how you'd define "predict".
