“I’M NOT SAYING IT’S A GHOST, BUT...”

Has your pet ever randomly started barking? Usually you find out it’s because there’s a stray animal outside your home or just a shadow of someone passing by. But has it ever happened for no reason and there were neither stray animals nor humans around? One account told by a friend, Angela, talks about just that kind of experience. “Me and my dogs are just in a room together, they’re resting, when suddenly they get up and glare at a corner in the room and start barking like mad,” says a friend when asked about odd behavior in pets. “My whole body [freezes] and gets chills. [We’re] in the room for hours and suddenly they start barking. It’s the type of barking that means they’re trying to scare someone [away] or get someone to leave.” Is there actually something inside the room or are the dogs just barking for no reason? She says she never gets to find out and doesn’t want to bother. “It isn’t ever in the same room. It’s either in the living room or my bedroom. And, well, I’m not having that, doggies. Bye.”
