Types of Ghosts 8, Animal Spirits.
Sometimes an animal’s soul lingers at the site of its death, at its physical home, OR around his or her human friend. Sometimes animal ghosts aren’t of this world at all, but are otherworldly beings like the Hounds of Hell, for example. To complicate things further, sometimes animal spirits might even be a witch’s familiar spirit OR her fetch spirit (see above section). Or the animal spirit could even be a shapeshifted witch, shaman, etc. A legitimate example of an animal ghostly haunting comes to us from Glasnevin Cemetery in Dublin Ireland. Where a large hound haunts the site of his late master, another example is the phantom blue dog of Rose Hill in Maryland, US.
