Yes he does he will stare at one particular corner of the room and his crest goes up and down really fast i know animals can sense spirits better than we do. He will stare at something in the corner then he screeches really loud, he scares me more when he does that as i think he is in pain, i think he can see the spirit children he dosent really like young children we got him as a rescue bird the woman who had him before had young kids and they used to torment him

Animals can get weird Kat, I have a cat named Pusscat and she sometimes goes mad for no reason, hissing and catowaling in the air as if following something with her eyes and sometimes chasing whatever she see's.

Actually it's quite scary, especially when she does it at night.

I have read that animals may well be attuned to a slightly higher frequancy then us Humans.

Yes thats true especially cats and dogs, is this your only cat? have you at some time owned others who have passed? or perhaps you may have a spirit of an animal that your cat can see Cats do not like their territory being invaded. Is your house very old? perhaps a previous owner had cats or maybe they are coming back to visit. If only we were as wise as our pets and could see with their eyes Smile

Kat and Scott, I too have heard that animals seem to sense
spirits/ghosts.
I guess we'll never know what they are sensing or if it is anything
at all.

I just know that our cats tend to stare at a certain spot at times and hiss.
Not sure what they see or hear but at night it still gives me the willies.

Hi Katina and Scott. Welcome aboard. What fascinating houses you have! Ours, being a mere 50 years old, and originally built on nothing but fields, I suspect registers zero on the 'spirit' front. Unless my late mother is 'hovering' somewhere, of course. Or you include the wine rack Wink

But, as I've had a fair few 'paranormal encounters' over the years, I guess I can't complain... And you and I do keep 'meeting' our 'guest' in the Castle Bastion... .

Re cockatiels. We have several at home, and they do get jumpy at the slightest things. So I'm glad, for them, at least, we do live in a revenently boring house!

Animals can't sense spirits any more than humans can but they do have significantly different hearing, smell and vision which is why dogs and cats react to things we can't see.
A rational person experiencing a dog or a cat staring or agitated by nothing would merely propose that they're hearing or smelling something beyond the human auditory and olafactory sensory range. If a person who has already made up their minds that ghosts exists and animals can see them sees the same thing they'll see that as confirmation of their beliefs.
However the evidence rest with the rational person and science not wishful thinking based on nothing but misinterpretation and anecdotes.

Hi there all,
Sorry about the late reply, Pusscat is the only animal we have Kat. If she is after a spirit cat it was not ours.
You're right there bitterbuck, it's a bonechilling sound.

One other thought that crossed my mind, and DB you're going to hate this, but orbs, she could be chasing unseen orbs or somekind of light entity?
I do admire your ability to be rational but think you would be more open to the paranormal if you had seen what I have.

Welcome all Rickymartin and Alex i'm sure there may well have been some interesting events where you are.
They may well have built on a feild but what happened before it was a feild?
(a battle perhaps?)Never know!

You have a point there Scott about what could have happened on that field before the house was built.

Very Happy
