I am looking for someone who knows about the paranormal to ask and gain understanding about a "shadow pet?

Question

I have looked up several web sites on the topic of shadow people and or pets but can not find a site that would explain what could possible be happening. I am including the extra information from the question I posted last night.

Hello All, I have been having recurrence of seeing what best could be described as shadow pet. ?

I do not believe I am insane nor do I take any type of meds. no mental health issues here. This "shadow pet" first appeared approx 48hrs after he died. He was a beloved pet. At first I thought ( Your just upset because he is gone now and really sort of dismissed the occurrence. Thinking I was imagining this in my grief.. But much time has passed since then and this pet is appearing more often. I really never heard of "shadow people" or "shadow pets" before this. I was telling a friend about it a few months later and they mentioned "shadow people" I usually stay away from this type of stuff.. But I can not deny that I have seen increasingly more often a black shadowed out line of my pet I am not afraid of this. I am merely trying to understand what this could possibly mean. Is this pet trying to communicate ? or offer assurance. I am unsure what to do. If anyone has any answers or information I would sure appreciate it.

Answer 1

I have a shadow pet.  But he cannot be too un-real because he gave me a kitten.  My cat gave me a brown kitten.  He is huge.  He has three colors of red-brown, with a white spot under his chin.  However, his father was a shadow.  I am saying, his father was a dream cat.  I drew this animal before he was conceived by a real cat.  Now what do I do with this animal?  I do not want to become attached because he came from a dream.  If you want to see the real thing...just answer this one.

    Well, keeping in mind I'm no expert on such matters, my best guess is that this "shadow pet" is either a misidentification of a normal shadow or something or the ghost or spirit (if animals are thought to have spirits) of your pet.

     In situation 1 you're first theory is correct and you're simply misidentifying something "normal" for something "paranormal" due to your grief, if this is the case you should be able to correctly identify this "shadow pet" for what it really is as time goes on with greater certainty (or at least I'd think so).

    If what we're talking about is paranormal then exactly what is occurring is very dependent upon some details that you either don't know or haven't included here. If the pet does...1 thing....and then disappears, and if this happens fairly regularly then we're talking about an unintelligent haunt, some paranormal investigators have theorized that these types of haunts (ghosts) are simply the result of a psychic "track" created by the mind during life. If this is the case then your pet should start appearing less and less until it goes away completely; unless someone with the right type of aura should recharge the "psychic track" (Richard Southall).

     If , however, the pet does not simply do...1 thing...but should do different things with no sense of regularity then we're talking about an intelligent haunt (spirit). In this type of haunt (which I'm not too sure if animals can cause such a haunt, but perhaps, I'm not saying no, I'm just saying I don't know) the spirit could be trying to communicate with you, it might feel it has some connection or business to accomplish before it moves on, or it might simply not know it's dead (Richard Southall). In any case I'd recommend either trying to tell the pet to move on, or call in a paranormal investigator to help you.

    There is always the third possibility; this could be something totally unrelated to your pet that just happened to wander in from a different dimension (this theory comes from it's shadow like nature), but I tend to agree with the opinion expressed on the show Ghost Hunters by The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS) that "shadow beings" are simply just one way a spirit may manifest itself.

     In any case I'd advise you not to jump to conclusions about this, but if you really feel this is something paranormal, try to get a picture of video of it, and/or call in a paranormal investigator to help!

I hope this helps!

Well, I would say that because every living thing is made of energy, after they pass, they leave some part of that energy behind, much like a tape or dvd being played back. Now, I think that some entities do not possess enough energy to make a full apparition. This is the case with shadow entities, I think. Your pet has probably left some sort of energy behind. It will probably fade soon.

Answer 4

You really should let your pet go. They can still come for a visit but they need to cross Rainbow Bridge to be with all the rest of their friends.

One of my dogs visited weeks and months after she left, she just wanted us to  know. My rabbit that left last month has not visited but we do still communicate.

Give your pet all the good wishes and blessings you can and send it across the Rainbow Bridge, it is really for the good and yes they can visit from time to time. Now do it without delay it isn't right to keep them here.

Hello, First of all I would say that the pet wants to reassure you that he is fine and in a good place. Second you need to make sure you speak out loud to it and let it know that you are okay to say Goodbye and release it. The selfishness we all feel about wanting to have spirits around us will not release it and they can sense this. You need to make sure you say Goodbye and feel it in your heart.

Answer 7

By shadow pet, I assume you mean "ghost. "  I have seen the ghosts of cats and dogs we have had thru the years. It is not in any distress, it simply wants to be with those it loved in life. There are different POV's about what happens to the energy that formerly was an animal. There is more evidence concerning humans who can report Near death experiences, and have had instances of communication with the deceased. Animals can not communicate with words ,so little is known. Some say the spirit hangs aroung for a period of time and is reabsorbed in a "group soul" or into universal mind (God). Some say they go on to a heavenly dimension much the same as ppl. This is all speculation. I can say that I have seen animal spirits .Welcome him/her and be comforted by his/her appearance.

Answer 8

The pet doesnt know its dead. You need to tell it somehow? This is a hard one! But perhaps thats what it is?
