Can dogs see the paranormal?

I believe that animals are able to sense energy patterns and some of these energy patterns are such that they have a visible form to them that is not visible to some human sight. Some of the ghosts have an odor that gives them away.

Animals are truly One with Nature. They know how to hunt and take care of themselves. When we domesticate them, they do not lose the ability to sense and read energy around them. Since people often do not sense these things our animal friends try to warn us of dangers and changes in the energy patterns around us. Animals can see and sense spirit more easily because they dont have what we call mind clutter to over shadow their senses.

They rely very heavily on using all their senses.
They also have no human doubt which is one of the main reasons they can see them. I hope this answers your questions.. Serious research of Animal Communications began over 100 years ago when people began taking notice of animals' reactions to ghostly apparitions. Animals are very sensitive to the presence of spirit life in our environments and will often react in very powerful ways, especially to any negative forces present...

When I was younger and lived with my parents our dog would occasionally display some pretty odd behaviour, even for her. She would at times become strangely disturbed by things unseen to us, she would start barking and growling and take on an offensive attack style posture whilst apparently staring at something that just wasn’t visible to us. She would focus on an area like the ceiling or a corner of the room or occasionally she would stand at the bottom of the stairs barking upwards barking like crazy, or run around following something, stalking something, of which without her we would have remained oblivious.

I know from speaking to others that this sort of behaviour was not particular to our own personal dog, and is a fairly common occurrence witnessed by K9 owning individuals, so are all these dogs just having a funny five minutes, or can dogs see ghosts? Do dogs see ghosts?
Or are they just hearing something we can’t. After all dogs can hear far better than humans and are capable of hearing frequencies way beyond our listening abilities.

Dogs are known to bark at noises they consider familiar or threatening, and just because we can’t hear them doesn’t mean that they aren’t there, and it also doesn’t mean that they’re ghosts, a dog can distinguish the sound of its owners car from cars of the same brand and model from a fair distance away. But of course this doesn’t mean that dogs don’t see ghosts either, some people report that their dogs barking at unseen entities acts more as a warning and is often accompanied by additional unusual or paranormal phenomenon, such as things moving or shaking of their own accord or even to those who are tuned in and able to see such things the appearance of the ghosts themselves.

All dogs bark, most dogs will bark at anything of interest or anything that moves, but it is usually aimed at something, so when your dog starts barking and growling towards ‘nothing’ then it’s hard not to feel that chill run up your spine and those goose bumps appear. But can dogs really see ghosts?
I personally have never seen a ghost, although I have spoken to many people who claim to have seen ghosts it is hard to fully believe in something you have never seen yourself.
But if anything I’ve ever witnessed has come close to convincing me that ghosts exist, it is this strange behaviour displayed by dogs when they seem to see or sense something that I just can not.

It has been noted by many witnesses to such behaviour including myself that when dogs seem to see these ‘ghosts’ or whatever it is they see their behaviour becomes aggressive / defensive, it does not appear to be the same kind of barking a dog might do if, for example a car drove by the window or the door bell rang, but a similar sort of behaviour to what you might expect a dog to perform if their owner were under attack.


Dogs have binocular vision over about 80 degrees of their visual field, which is enough for good quality binocular vision. This does vary some by breed, with collies probably having a smaller area of binocular vision than a golden retriever due to the placement of the eyes and length of the nose. Dogs have dichromatic vision, meaning they see in only two colors.

How dogs see

Dogs can see in much dimmer light than humans. This is because the central portion of a dog's retina is composed primarily of rod cells that "see" in shades of gray while human central retinas have primarily cone cells that perceive color. The rods need much less light to function than cones do.

Dogs can detect motion better than humans can.

Dogs can see flickering light better than humans. The only significance to this appears to be that dogs may see television as a series of moving frames rather than as a continuous scene.

Dogs do not have the ability to focus as well on the shape of objects (their visual acuity is lower). An object a human can see clearly may appear to be blurred to a dog looking at it from the same distance. A rough estimate is that dogs have about 20/75 vision. This means that they can see at 20 feet what a normal human could see clearly at 75 feet.

Dogs are said to have dichromatic vision -- they can see only part of the range of colors in the visual spectrum of light wavelengths. Humans have trichomatic vision, meaning that they can see the whole spectrum. Dogs probably lack the ability to see the range of colors from green to red. This means that they see in shades of yellow and blue primarily, if the theory is correct. Since it is impossible to ask them, it is not possible to say that they see these colors in the same hues that a human would. Whether or not the ability to see some color is important to dogs or not is hard to say.

A dog with its eyes about 12 inches off the ground certainly sees the world a different way than a human with eyes about 48 inches off the ground like many 5th graders.

As humans we tend to think of dog's visual capabilities as inferior to ours. It is different but it may suit their needs better than possessing accurate color vision would.

It has always been my belief that Dogs in particular have the ability to see ghosts.

After my review of the facts on visual ability it is appearhant that this ability could be something to consider
