Phantom Felines and Other Ghostly Animals

If you're an animal lover who enjoys reading ghost stories, then this is the book for you. It is packed with true tales of the supernatural involving cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, and other pets returning from beyond the grave. The author, a paranormal investigator, begins the book with a chapter that discusses: Haunted Places, Earthbound Spirits and Spectral Sightings, Animal Sensitivity to Hauntings, Animal Hauntings vs. Human Hauntings, Communicating with Four-Legged Ghosts, and Residual Hauntings. This section also contains an interesting 7-page interview with [...] founder, Jeff Belanger. The chapters that follow - Phantom Felines; Hounds and Hauntings; Other Ghostly Animals - are basically a compilation of nearly 90 true animal ghost stories contributed by people from all walks of life. Some of the stories are creepy, while others tug at the heart strings and remind us that even in death our beloved pets are still around us. Gerina Dunwich also shares with the reader a few of her own strange experiences with phantom cats, horse-drawn carriages and bats, and also includes a number of legends and documented cases, such as the Legend of Black Shuck, the Spectral Ape of Athelhampton House, the Ballechin House Hauntings, and the Ghost Cat of King John's Hunting Lodge. This is a perfect book to read on a dark stormy night and is suitable for readers of all ages. I give it a full 5 stars.
