good question

Answer 13

do you see ghosts on a regular basis???

Answer 14

Actually, plenty of people do.

Also some people see something that looks remotely human and assume that when it was alive it was human--which isn't always the case.

Answer 15

I see ghosts sometimes (not by choice!) but animals are rare.  Mostly spirits have attachments in order to be around.  Ex People haunt places and people, various reasons to be sure.  Some animal spirits are tied to their owner's spirit, and follows it.  So if, as most spirits do, move on, the animals do, too.  If you are referring to wild animals, would you know the difference?  Our view on them is fleeting anyway.  I've seen one dog, which creeped me out because it was black, an omen of my own death (by myth).  

BTW, I believe souls do not haunt.  I rhink they return to the great whatever, and it's the spirit that can linger.  Surely animals have spirit if not a soul!

Answer 16

I have, so have several others.

Answer 17

I work at a veterinary hospital, and I've seen a couple, some of animals that had just died without anyone knowing yet (cases where we were simply providing support until the end).  Most animal spirits, like most human spirits, seem to leave right away is all.

Answer 18

When I was 12 years old, my Collie got hit by a car.  We lived out in the country and had some land behind our house.  Two weeks later, I was outside at night, and I saw a ghostly white image of a collie running across the property.  She was out there doing what she loved, chasing jackrabbits.  Dn't tell me they don't have a soul, I know they do.

Answer 19

dreamt of a dog I used to own that came to visit me in a dream! Her name was Midnight I neglected her as a child and went into the Marines after Highschool and after I got out she was blind with Diabetes and tumors in her stomach.I did the best I could to care for her but lost my job and couldnt afford to take care of her medically.The best I could do was hold her and tell her how much of a good dog she was and how much I loved her while they gave her the shot and she fell asleep for good in my arms.I cried so hard when I got home I threw up! I have a new dog now a boxer named Bosco and I spoil him and favor him every chance I get that It actually pisses people off and only me and Midnight know why!

Answer 20

because animals do not have souls,only people do. and once the soul leaves they body they either go to Heaven, Or h**l. They may stay on the earth for a few moments but that's it. Sorry for being such a party pooper...

Answer 21

You don't see ghosts of anything

that is why

Answer 22

I've never seen a ghost of ANY kind.  Maybe there aren't any.

On the other hand, lots of people claim to have seen or heard ghosts of people, but I don't think I've ever heard anybody claim to see the ghost of an animal.  Assuming that these people really have seen ghosts, maybe the reason nobody sees ghosts of animals is because their souls don't survive the death of their bodies like people souls do.

Or maybe animals don't stick around like people do after they die.  Who knows?

Answer 23

Human ghost let you see them but, animals don't no quite how to
