Below is an article by one of my favourite authors, Joshua Warren, who recently came out with another new book entitled, "Pet Ghosts: Animal Encounters From Beyond The Grave."
I have had a few very strange encounters. One such encounter happened to me many years ago when I was 14. I was having a dream one night that my dog, who was also 14 at the time, had passed away and was trying to find me. At this point I was not living at home and always had a strong bond with my dog. In my dream I was showing the dog where to go and guiding him into a bright light. As I watched him walk towards this bright light, I woke up startled to hearing what sounded like the clicking sounds of a dog walking across the floor and then suddenly, it stopped in front of my bedroom door. I immediately jumped out of bed and opened my bedroom door only to find one of my friends out of bed too and looking towards my bedroom. She said to me that she heard something walking across the floor. We did not have any pets at our house. When it got a bit brighter outside, it was 5 am when I had woke up from this dream, I called home to talk to my mother. I asked her if my dog was alright. She said to me your dog is fine but your aunts dog passed away this morning around 5:00 am! So although it was not my dog, I do believe that I somehow was communicating with my Aunts dog that morning.
Over the years I have had many more strange encounters with animals including seeing the back end of a cat cross the road in front of me while I was driving.
Does anyone else have a ghostly encounter with a pet or animal that they want to share?
Scruffy, don't go into the light!
How to call your dog from beyond the grave

Ready to raise Fido from the grave?
In his book "Pet Ghosts: Animal Encounters From Beyond the Grave," Joshua P. Warren discusses electricity, energy, reality, frequency, history, time travel and quantum physics in great detail.
He also covers phantimals, entities, imprints, elementals and specters.
But Warren and local paranormal researchers Dan Jungles and Ursula Bielski say contacting your pet ghost is really quite simple.
First, Warren says, be mindful and rule out the conventional.
"A simple explanation is usually the correct one," Warren said.
In other words, don't assume you saw Fido's ghost when it could have been a shadow of another object or a hallucination. A pet ghost could be luminous or even appear as it did in life.
"You don't necessarily know when you see an animal if it's a ghost or not," Warren said. "It's much easier to identify a loved one who's passed and come back."
Second, help Fido want to come home.
"Don't forget them because they're gone," said Jungles, who owns three cats. "Keep their toys and blankets around. They (ghosts) will go where they're happiest."
Warren agrees.
"Recreate an environment conducive to the pet's life," he said. "Use your imagination and treat it like it's alive."
Third, create conditions ideal for ghost hunting.
"Lower the humidity, turn the TV off and stay away from appliances," Warren said.
And, as with any good ghost story, turn off the lights.
"An illuminous form is easier to see with the naked eye," he said.
Also, grab a compass.
When there is a significant disturbance in the magnetic field, the compass will spin or go a bit haywire, he said.
A florescent lightbulb also can detect a charge. If all else fails, try a strobe light.
"A strobe light operates similar to a camera shutter," he said. "It freezes that motion moving too fast for your own brain to perceive."
"Once you have a good manifestation," Warren said, "people can fully interact with their pets as long as the environmental condition allows them to be there."
And while those environmental conditions play a role in attracting Fido's ghost, an open, willing mindset may help keep him around.
"If a person desires the spirit to stay, vocalizes that wish and reinforces it on a daily basis, the phantom can remain indefinitely," Warren writes in "Pet Ghosts."
"But if the pet is told to move on or is gradually ignored, the activity fades away."
