This scarce first edition presents a fascinating foray into the world of spirits and ghost haunting featuring recorded animal ghost sightings. Looks at the evidence collected at the time, from letters and case studies to personal experiences and interviews conducted by the author. This compilation of animal ghost cases makes for very interesting reading, covering everything from ghostly dogs and cats to unusual cases such as spectral flocks of sheep and spirit rabbits.

Also delves into the ancient sources of belief in an animal afterlife, drawing on the occult traditions of the ancient Egyptians and other ancient cultures. A rare find.
