A Puca Comes to Pennsylvania
'Tis October, the month of Hallowe’en…. The Celtic Druids called it Samhain. It was their New Year and the day of the final harvest of the season. It was also the day when the veil between the living and the dead was the thinnest. The souls of the dead roamed the earth. Soul cakes were baked and set out for these souls, along with a glass of wine. Candles were lit. Tallow lanterns were made from hollowing out mangel-wurzels, a type of turnip. Today, pumpkins are carved. Hallowe’en is the time of witches, ghosts, long-leggity beasties, black cats and bats…. This is the second “most decorated” holiday after Christmas. Animal ghosties? Why not? There is much documentation. Why not take a journey into the otherworldly land of ghostly animals? Today’s animal du jour is the puca, a legendary animal spirit who came to Pennsylvania.

Spectral Hounds, Legends and a True Account
The barghest, also spelled barguest is a spectral hound of English folklore, as are Black Shuck and the Whisht Hounds. According to legend, these animals are omens of death to those unfortunate enough to see them. I have written about Whisht Hounds in my article “Spectral Wild Hunts and a Cruel Huntsman.” Usually, these supernatural beings take the form of a large black dog. They are not like the mischievous, at mostly human friendly Puca which I wrote about in “A Puca Comes to Pennsylvania.” Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was inspired by the legends of the Whisht Hounds and Black Shuck when he wrote the book, The Hound of the Baskervilles. Amy Castile had an experience with a hellhound that was investigated by Morely Adams, a parapsychologist and documented. Today’s spectral animal du jour is the barghest and its kin….

The Psychic World of Dogs Part II
Anpsi is animal psychic phenomena and has been well documented in both the laboratory and by personal experiences. My article, “Amazing Psychic World of Animals,” gives more detail about anpsi. Because there was so much to write about regarding dogs’ anpsi, I decided to write two articles instead of one. This article is about dog ghost seers and dog ghosts. Not only can they and other animals sense ghosts, they can also become one. Animals are amazing creatures and definitely are part of the Paranormal Realm….
