Do Dogs Actually See Ghosts? by double08(m): 11:58pm On Jul 31, 2010
It actually just crossed my mind because I just heard neighbors dogs barking just now for no reason and I remembered when someone told me that Dogs do see ghosts at night, how true is that?

Actually there is no tangible proof that dogs are seeing spirits or that spirits even exist. So to answer this with a definitve YES would be wrong. The simple fact is no one knows for sure. It is true that dogs have better senses than humans and can also see and hear in spectrums that we can't. But it is an assumption or your personal beleif if you think that your dog is barking at a ghost.

In real life people mistake natural or man-made things with something paranormal all the time. It's called paradolia. So it would only make sense that dogs are capable of doing the same thing but to a much higher degree with their broader senses and lower intelligence. So odds are they are barking at something that isn't a spirit but since you can't see it or hear you assume it's a spirit.

What if it's a sound you can't hear? A humming from your DVD player or an animal outside. It could be anything really when you think about it. Until we are able to communicate with animals we'll never really know what dogs are seeing and/or hearing.

Cuz i wanna see ghost. Another way you can see them is going into a market square, bend down and watch peoples legs, some of the peeps in their are not human and you will see that their legs are not touching the ground. You have to be careful as they will strike as soon as they notice what u are doing

Not just dogs, I think most animals possess that ability to see and percieve supernatural and paranormal phenomena

I believes that Animals have never been told that ghosts aren't real so if they see one, they will of course, react.

We used to believe this as kids, cause we lived near a cemetery one time
and at about 7 in the evening, as the sun goes down there's always a mournful
bark from the dogs around us. In the morning also, before the sun fully rises,
it was scary.

I hear that also, but the baying I hear comes from foxes.

Maybe the howling you heard came from a pack of dogs who lived in or around the cemetery, that's how they call out to each other. smiley smiley



Dogs are very sensitive to the environment, their senses are very highly tuned.
My family dog (we had him for 12 years) ran away the day before my dad died. He came back a week later, he was extremely emaciated, he died a week later cry cry.

Not just ghost. Dogs are very highly intelligent animal and sensitive. They can detect cancer by sniffing. Dogs sense of smell is very powerful than humans 150 times.

There is absolutely no such thing as "ghosts" or what ever the hell you call them.
These things are just illusions that play games on human and animal minds alike. I once saw two glowing red eyes watching me, and I simply ignored. But my dog was too dumb to know that its jist an illusion. He was barking and I dragged him by the leash.
