Ghost dog
Posted: Wed Jun 28, 2023 11:00 amAs so many of us have dogs I thought this might be of interest. Someone posted this experience on one of the Poodle groups I'm on in Facebook. I can remember a time I would have not believed anything like this could occur but after taking hypnosis classes for so many years I have changed my thoughts on several things. For some reason people seemed to be more comfortable in that class and would tell about experiences that they felt they couldn't talk about in other places. It is one of the reasons I kept repeating the class. One evening a young woman said she was taking the class because her little boy had an imaginary friend. He called his 'friend' John which was her brother's name who died before the child was born. When she questioned him one day about where he learned a game he was playing he told her 'John' taught him and said don't your remember he said you used to play it with him. She was looking everywhere for a possible explanation. That is only one story that comes to mind this morning but there were many more. So when I read this post it made me wonder how many would believe it. From all the responses a lot of people did and posted stories of their own experiences.
This is the post.
"I had a ghost dog. My 16 1/2 year old standard poodle died. Before she died I started to bring her to my dog grooming salon, so she wouldn’t have accidents in the house.She’d sleep behind my reception desk as I brought dogs in and to the back grooming room. We had 3 doors separating the grooming room from the lobby, to prevent dogs from escaping the shop and getting out the door.
She was a black long haired poodle, who always made the effort to rise and greet the customers and their dogs.
After she died, people kept seeing her at the shop. Old customers would greet her. New customers would ask “And who is that dog?”
I’d panic, thinking a dog escaped the grooming room. I’d look around and not see any dog. The client would apologize saying they thought they saw a dog and it must have been just a shadow. I’d then take their dog, and the dogs would walk in a large circle before going through the door, as if they were avoiding something on the floor. Both old clients who knew my dog well, and new ones who never met her, they all saw her. This went on for months.
Finally, one night, she appeared to my family, in three different locations at the exact same time! My mom was in her bedroom in her apartment, I was watching tv in my apartment. Halfway across the country, my daughter was going to bed in her apartment.
Half asleep, my daughter felt her dog get on the bed, circle three times and plop down, her head resting on daughter’s chest. Daughter began stroking her head, then suddenly sat up, remembering she didn’t have a dog!
My mom saw a dog run out of her bedroom. I was watching tv and felt a dog nose under my hand, flipping it, as if trying to get me to pet it. I started to, then also remembered I didn’t have a dog!
Suddenly my phone rang, then my cell phone. Mom and daughter called to tell me the strange happening. We discovered the haunting all happened at the exact same time.
I think she came to tell us all goodbye. No one ever saw her again, not at home, not at the grooming shop. She stayed until she was sure we would all be ok without her. Guard dog forever!
The post gave me chills and tears.
