Okay, I know I should have waited until Halloween to post his but I came across a sheepdog forum on the internet where somebody asked if their dog was seeing a ghost. Now, I personally, have never had an experience with Huff seeing ghosts. I have seen some things that I think are ghosts. when we were moving my grandma into her new house we were taking a break and having some pizza. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a young man standing in an olive green tank top with dark hair. I looked, and nothing was there. Mind trick? Ghost? Have you ever had a ghostly experience? Has your doodle (or any other pet) ever had a ghostly experience?
Wow...your stories are incredible ! So glad your son made it ...I too had a croupy son. I have goosebumps reading your post. I have friend who lived in a house that they beleive was haunted. They had a new baby in the bedroom/nursery next to theirs. Deep into the night they would hear footsteps climbing up the stairs and into their be sons room. The crib was made of brass...not wood. The footsteps would walk into their sons room and then they could hear the sound of a "neck chain" or necklace like all of us wear hitting the brass of their sons crib as the ghost leaned over to their baby!!!!! Of course they got up to check...and there was nothing visible there. It happened every night! They put their house up for sale and moved.
Moving is the only option unless you just live with them and allow them into your lives. I have other stories from other family but don't know all the details so won't go into them but long story short it has happened to others in my family too. Maybe We have an open channel?
