History Animals were observed and assigned to
supernatural statuses fitting their nature Dogs: Because of their ability to find dead things,
then consume them, they were able to sense ghosts; they became the guardians between the world of the living and the dead
Cats: Egypt associated them with healing, thus sorcery; they have dual personalities so can be dangerous (used in spells to curse others); Nordic: Freyja (health, love, healing) had a chariot drawn by cats; eventually became associated with the demonic by medieval Christianity
Rodents: West: Associated with plague (Apollo, god of plague, mice), Black Death
East: Intelligence, movement (Ganesh’s vehicle), food bringer (China and Japan).
Omens Cat. Black cat: Europe, good luck. America, bad luck. Killing a cat means
to bring disaster. If a cat left the home, disaster is about to strike.
Dog. OK, unless howling at the moon as you go by.
Hare. Bad luck if one crosses your path.
Hedgehog. Good fortune, especially if you meet one going in the opposite
direction.
Horse. Piebald is a good omen. But if you see its tail first, then bad luck will
befall a friend.
Mouse or Rat: A white or brown mouse is good luck, especially in love. Grey mouse
= bad luck. White rat is good luck, black rat is bad luck.
Animals as Sensitive to the Supernatural Animals can sense things beyond the
norm with enhanced senses, instinctually-driven mind; humans can, too, but we are taught to disregard it Animals as intelligent and self-aware Animals as observant Animals as having superior senses Animals as enigmas Animals as misread/folklore/misinformation
Odd behavior Watching something in a room that cannot be
perceived Running from/avoiding areas Wanting out of a structure/area Acting as if interacting with someone Acting out before/with a supernatural
phenomenon *Unusual behavior is subjective to human
observation▪ *Assumes no health issues with the pets▪ *Assumes natural causes have been ruled out within
reasons
Animals As Ghosts: Theories Animals are self-aware and thus able to have a
consciousness beyond death
Animals reincarnate (soul/mind) Hinduism, Buddhism
Animals have souls Nature/animism: Tribal religions -- mystical and divine Shared souls: Judaism
Humans project the animal ghosts Freud/grief Most ghosts are pets, not food animals and rarely wild animals
