Believe It or Not, Animals See Ghosts…

animals see ghosts

Bet you didn’t know that I’m a Ghost Buster…  It’s true! 

Hi, I’m Val Heart, the Real Dr Doolittle. I didn’t start out to be a ghost buster, and I don’t talk about it (how animals see ghosts) much but I’ve done a lot of work with entities with great results. Because my unique specialty is solving problems with pets using the Heart Wisdom System, as you will soon see, doing this critically important work sometimes takes me to many interesting, unexpected and fascinating places…

Have you ever noticed your animal staring off into space like they’re watching something you can’t see? Or reacting oddly to a certain area for no known reason?  Barking at nothing?  Spooking at something you can’t detect?

That’s because, as a matter of fact, animals see ghosts.

It’s true.  They can sense, feel and see ‘dead people’.

I’m always amazed and intrigued when a consultation takes a spooky turn and I find myself communicating with a deceased loved one or a lost soul who can’t find their way home. Animals see ghosts and they are so glad when they can tell us about it, and when we can help them.

via GIPHY

For instance, one German Shepherd told me that there was a young man’s spirit floating through the walls at odd times and it was very scary for him.

The dog was trying his best to protect his person but all the spirit did was laugh at him.

His person of course thought her beloved dog had lost his mind!  He was viciously attacking and reacting to something she could not see or sense.

Once the dog told us his story, I shifted my focus to address the spirit and we found a way to help the lost ghost go home. Once he left, the dog returned to the loving, happy furrkid he truly was and all was well again.

A dressage horse told me that there was a Native American Indian stationed in the far corner of his practice arena.

He said the Indian Spirit had warned him away from that area. Nothing his rider did changed his mind about it, and that was that.

In order to solve this perplexing problem, I connected with the Indian who turned out to be a Guardian of the ancient sacred burial grounds that happened to be located on this property.  When I told my client what I’d discovered, she confirmed that in fact, that was true.

We found a way to respectfully negotiate an agreement so that the horses could go into that area for their exercise and practice, and all was well.

When you discover how to hear and understand your animals yourself, a whole new amazing world opens up.

And it’s tons of fun and not really scary at all, I promise.

    Your adventurous life and lifestyle is legendary and for good reason.
    I had a Spiritual Tune Up about a month.5 ago where I was a riding my MC and took a diff route than I normally ride. Don’t know why bit for some reason I felt drawn to a bar I had been in two times before but I rolled around it and moved on. A voice said “turn around, get off your bike and get your ads on a seat in there. Wisest thing I ever did

    Animals definitely see and talk to spirits or fear them. I have found my cat staring at nothing, talking to
    someone many times. I also a a scary experience while doing a pet therapy visit to an aged nursing home.. When calling in to make an appointment for the next week Izzy did not want to go into the nursing home..She had done hundreds of visits and loved going on visits so i was not sure what was going on..she dragged me to the car to get away from there. The next week when we went back to do the visit, again she didn’t want to go in..once I picked her up she settled so we continued to the main are to visit with a lady and about half way through the visit she started to panic and cringe back into the chair appearing as though she was watching someone..about 60 seconds later a nurse walked in an told another nurse that Mr. whoever had just passed away. Now realizing what was going on we finished the visit and left and she couldn’t get out of there fast enough. Needless to say I never took her back to that particular nursing home again. Out of hundreds of visits to many different locations this was the only one where we came across this. I think that he could not have been a very nice person for her to react this way and I had nightmares that night and slept with the light on for about six weeks. I definitely know and believe they see ghosts.

    I always enjoy your articles, and this one is great. I have been told many times by a dog or cat when I do not notice a spirit near by.
    The photo has me smiling — especially since aside from a few wrinkles my dog looks about exactly like the one seated by the pumpkin.

    I think many people experience their animals sensing something in the room. I know I have on several occasions when my little dog stares into the corner with her ears pricked up … and sometimes quietly growling. It’s as if someone is talking to her ….

    It’s really consoling to know that they are communicating with those on the other side.
