Animal Ghosts

I have an affinity for stories of animals ghosts like the faithful dog returning to visit his master. I personally have experienced this with my dog Sparkee (who is featured on The Shadow lands main page) who came back 3 times to visit me and also appeared in a lucid dream. I have heard many stories about other animals returning from the grave. The most common seem to be dogs, cats, horses and birds. The experience can be auditory like hearing the jiggling of a collar and tags or hearing the animal bark, meow, etc. Others may see the animal like I did in my case. I have also heard of people feeling the animal curling up next to them in bed and not seeing anything there at the time. This brings us to the question of how is this possible. If we believe that ghosts are the spirits or souls of a deceased human being then wouldn’t that mean that the animal spirits are the same thing?
