Since a lot of people believe that animals can perceive spirits more easily than humans?

Question

To Paranormal Investigators ever use a trained dog to assist in gathering evidence?

And if so, how would they train it?

Answer 1

I am sure some do, I have heard of some using musical instruments and son to attract spirits.

Answer 2

maybe when dogs bark, they are speaking to a spirit, but human don't see the spirit and don't understand so we think the dog is crazy.

Answer 3

What would that  prove? Bark once for bad spirit twice for good spirit?

An EMF detector doesn't eat as much. Really...

Answer 4

Animals have some more accute senses than human beings do.   I don't know at what point the natural becomes a supernatural ability.  

I once had a very vivid dream of a small, playful leopard cub, and when I woke up the dog was whining and cowering next to my bed like it was very afraid of something.  I wondered whether the dream was an animal totem visitation of some sort that the dog was also able to perceive.

Answer 5

things which can't be explained are considered like this.

Answer 6

Dogs aren't as easily fooled.They are incapable of being dishonest.That's two good reasons.

Answer 7

In an episode of Paranormal State, the owner of this one house had a dog that would freak out when people tried to go upstairs, and Ryan (the leader of the paranormal group) used this as a sign. So i dont see why the people from T.A.P.S. and Most Haunted dont use one. lol

Answer 8

Although I've heard of some animals being more sensitive to spiritual things than humans, it hasn't been true around me--my dog slept through an encounter in the same room, while I was drenched in goosebumps.

Answer 9

Would that be a "seeing psi dog"?

Oh, I kill myself.

Answer 10

not all animals are attuned to the spirit world all though animals are more sensitive to it then people but just like humans some animals are sensitive and some aren't....as for whether or not  paranormal investigators uses animals....yes i have heard of some that use dogs and or cats i have even heard of some people using birds....it is more common for the use of dogs i don't know why but they are pretty sensitive to a lot of different things and even more so to an aggressive spirit or demon or which ever you want to call it at the time but that is more of a natural instinct to danger. as for cats they were perceived  even more so in ancient times especially in ancient Egypt they were thought to have a strong connection to the spirit world and in other ancient civilizations alligators and/or crocodiles were thought to have a strong connection as well....i don't recommend using one of them though that might be dangerous

Answer 11

They SHOULD  use them. I don't really think they'd need to be trained. One of my dogs definitely saw something one time...and growled and barked and jumped away when there was nothing there that I could see.We left immediately and moved soon after.
