Animals have amazing insight. We often hear about animals that leave an area before an impending disaster like and earthquake or flood. Even the animals more closer to our hearts have amazing insight as well. Did you know that dogs and cats are more closely tuned into the supernatural than we are? Native Americans often relied on their dogs to be an early warning system for more than just physical intruders; they were village guards against the nasties that go bump in the night. The ancient Chinese would us cats as temple guardians because of their belief that the cat can see the spirit world. There are many accounts of animals and the paranormal in mythology from around the world. The Internet is filled with reports of household pets reacting to the supernatural.
Last year, we investigated the Heceta Head Lighthouse Light Keepers House B&B in Yachats, Oregon, which is known to be haunted by a female ghost, possibly a wife of a former Lighthouse Keeper. There are numerous documented accounts of guests staying at the B&B, witnessing the owners former cat walking up to the back door in the kitchen, sitting and looking at the back door, and after only a few short minutes, the door opens by itself, the cats goes outside, and the door then closes itself. If you want to investigate this place yourself, ask them to stay on Wednesday night when it is closed so you can have the entire B&B to yourself, without any other guests around, or having to rent the entire Inn for the night.
I had a long time friend and companion of 17 years that was part tabby and part bobcat. He was one hell of a great cat - hunter, protector, and spirit warrior – yes spirit warrior. As a shaman and paranormal investigator, I had many occasions where I worked with my cat Komkomis (named after a famous Chinook Indian war chief) where I (an others) witnessed him going toe to toe with an unseen foe. He was my early warning system for anything spiritual that came around. Often when I worked as a shaman on a client, he would always sit very attentive in a way were he could “watch my backâ€
Many moons ago, I had an orb appearin my bedroom late one night. My dog woke up and started growling at it.
About 3 years ago I lost my dog that I had for 15 years. This dog was my companion. We took care of each other. When he developed cancer in his liver I thought the best and kindest thing I could do was put him to "sleep".
When I would get depressed and cry, He would get up on the couch with me and lay his head on my lap.
To this day...when I am depressed and cry...I can feel the couch shake like it always did when he got up on it. (big dog) I can even feel the pressure of his head in my lap.
I believe that animals are very in tune with the paranormal.
