My grandma had passed away. She died from a cardiac arrest. I was always close to her and she loved animals (esp. dogs). She used to sing to me,"How much is that doggie in the window?"\n\nWhen she died, I was living in Flagstaff with my ex-fiancee. That evening, I went outside to check the mail (at my apartment complex).\n\nAs I walked to the office, standing there in a grassy area with a wooden fence was a very large white dog. It had deep blue eyes and a plumish tail. From head to toe it stood about 36 inches.\n\nAs soon as I saw the dog, it kicked it's head back as if to say hello and, well, sort of smiled at me (like it knew me). This scared me, for it was a stray without a collar and very large.\n\nWhen I stopped, the dog pinned it's ears back and charged me, sniffing my hand. It then darted around the corner and was seen by another man checking his mail. I asked him where it went and he said it went around the other corner. I checked, but the dog had simply vanished.\n\nSo what was it?

Yes, in high school a possum came in through the doggy door one night and got under my bed. I woke up in the middle of the night and heard really weird snuffling noises under there.  I was terrified and screamed for my mom. She came in and turned on the light and we found him. I still make olympic jumps (35 years later) into bed at night after turning off the light because I know something CAN be under the bed.   LOL

Something very similar happened to me two weeks ago.I found a dead bird on my front stoop.It didn't appear to be injured and it looked like it was asleep.But ,it wasn't.I'm not a superstitious person,so I don't know anything about that.I do know that a few years ago all of the crows in our area died as a resulty of west nile virus.I suspect the dead bird I found, might have been sick from something like that.

Yes. It was back in the late 1960's . One night my father and mother and I were on the grounds of my brother's secondary school , waiting for my brother to return from a national parade , of which school cadets also took part. While waiting , my father and I saw a very unusually large white dog ; the dog looked so strange, so large, so ghostly white , that it could not possibly be from this world. My mother was unable to see this spirit dog, only me and daddy saw it.It happened in the month of November.

The roach slithered down the Rex's throat and I could hear it's sharp mandibles scraping at his vocal chords. He let out a loud yelp and jumped back from the grave.\n"No, Rex," I said. "Leave the bugs alone. We have work to do."\nMy shovel plunged into the damp soil like a knife tearing into a Thanksgiving turkey. \n"You dog is choking," Mandelbaum said. "Stupid mutt."\nI turned away from the grave and glanced at Rex. The dog was indeed choking and it made me laugh. "Serves you right."\nWith a violent hack, Rex vomited up the insect. It was huge, green and slimy. It scurried away and Rex looked as though he might give chase, but I snarled "Enough!"\n"Do you think she's still alive down there?" Mandelbaum asked, wiping his sweaty brow. The man stank of onions and formaldehyde.\n"She is." I said and went back to work. \nRex eyed the grave, watching for more roaches.

lol funny. But I already heard that joke. Only that the dog was a rotweiler and its name was God. and the burglar says: "WHo names a parrot Queen Elizabeth?"\n"The same people that named the Rotweiler God."\nAnd that's the version I heard.

here's a joke: \n\nThe Old Poodle \n\n A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in\nAfrica, taking her faithful aged poodle named Cuddles,\nalong for the company. \n\n One day the poodle starts chasing butterflies and\nbefore long, Cuddles discovers that she's lost.\nWandering about, she notices a leopard heading rapidly\nin her direction with the intention of having lunch. \n\n The old poodle thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep shit\nnow!"  Noticing some bones on the ground close by, she\nimmediately settles down to chew on the bones with her\nback to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard  is\nabout to leap, the old poodle exclaims loudly, "Boy,\nthat was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are\nany more around here?"  \n\n Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in\nmid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he\nslinks away into the trees.  "Whew!", says the\nleopard, "That was close! That old poodle nearly had\nme!"  \n \nMeanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole\nscene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this\nknowledge to good use and trade it for protection from\nthe leopard. So off he goes, but the old poodle sees\nhim heading after the leopard with great speed, and\nfigures that  something  must be up. The monkey soon\ncatches up with the leopard, spills the  beans and\nstrikes a deal for himself with the leopard. \n\nThe young leopard is furious at being made a fool of\nand says, "Here,  Monkey, hop on my back and see\nwhat's going to happen to that  conniving canine!"\n \nNow, the old poodle sees the leopard coming with the\nmonkey on his  back and thinks, "What am I going to do\nnow?", but instead of running,  the dog sits down with\nher back to her attackers, pretending she  hasn't seen\nthem yet, and just when they get close enough to hear,\nthe old poodle says: "Where's that d@mn monkey? I sent\nhim off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!" \n \n Moral of this story..\n  Don't mess with old farts...age and treachery will\nalways overcome  youth and skill! B@llshit and\nbrilliance only come with age and  experience!

Back in my wandering hippie days a busload of us crashed at an old house in Boulder Colorado.  One of the women awoke from a nap upstairs screaming, saying a little girl was trying to steal her body. \n\nOur host passed a couple of joints around and told the story of the original residents.  It seems their young daughter had died of typhoid, and they were in such denial of it that they just left her body to rot in her upstairs bedroom. Deprived of a proper burial, the girl's spirit never left the house.  The next owner had walled off the room, even going so far as to seal it with lead.  We were starting to have some fun with the story when there was suddenly a loud bang from the wall in question, causing a number of things to fall down.\n\nWe decided then to go out for ice cream, and we all slept downstairs on the living room floor that night.

Did anybody witness this conversation? If not, make her say the same things in front of someone else or at least make a tape of her saying this. Just in case anything happens to your dogs. Make sure you keep a close eye on your dogs and make sure they don't eat or drink anything that anyone other than you gives them, I hate to see anything happens to your pups. \nYou tried to make friend with your neighbor and she refused. You did the right thing and she is totally wrong.

No its not the grim reaper, its not the devil's right hand man....it is actually a vampire. I never used to believe in them....and personaly I thnk the whole blood sucking thing to get energy is very very sick! However about a year ago I was letting my dog outside and I saw it, the same exact image you are talking about! The black robe, long fingernails, VERY pale skin. I ran inside....when I first let my dog out he was about 150ft away staring at me, when I ran inside and peered out the window he was right there face up against it, whispering my name! FREAKY....my dog the whole time this "vampire" was near my window, was silent, and laying down at the end of the steps. I told this "vampire" to go away and wierd enough it did! Didnt harm me or the dog! Myth says a vampire can NOT come into your house without an invintaion, so if I were you I would NOT open that window outta curiousity and invite it in! So yeah Ive seen it and am afraid, well not afraid just a lil freaked out at that time....the really wierd thing is that my dog was so calm and didnt care....or that the vampire didnt touch my poor poochie...lol Everyonce in a while I see the same figure, same face outside my kitchen window...or staring at my house from a distance....

This commercial is really old, from my local Humane Society back in 1988\n\nIt showed this dog having a bunch of fun all day long with his elderly male owner... going for walks in the park, sitting by his side while he played checkers with a friend, just accompanying this old man through the day, until he finally laid down to sleep next to the old man's bed on a comfy cushion.\n\nThen the dog wakes up alone on a concrete floor in the dark - at the shelter. It was to show that just because a dog is not a puppy anymore, doesn't mean he is a behavioral problem, he could be a well trained dog who lost his owner.\n\nThat commercial killed me because days prior, my parents made me take my dog to the shelter because my mom didn't want her around anymore. I was just a kid, and I hated the thought of my girl being alone in a cage like that. I called the shelter and they said she was adopted in 3 days. But that commercial still kills me... and now I volunteer at the local shelter, helping them find homes for dogs just like her.

One time on a camping trip I was walking back from the bathrooms at that moment right between day and night and I saw someone walk across the front of the site and stop behind a tree. So I figure one of the people is going to jump out and try to surprise me, so I pull out my flashlight, walk up to the tree, turn on the light, and there's no one there.\n\nAs a child the chandelier used to swing from side to side, and the radio would turn on by itself in the middle of the night.\n\nOne time I was alone in a house, and I felt a presence. I looked a mobile hanging motionless, and said, "If there is anyone else here, make the mobile spin." The next moment, the mobile began to spin.\n\nOne time I was driving into Ponca State Park to set up a large camping gathering, and the sides of the road were lined with spirits. All standing there, clearly visible to everyone, calmly welcoming us back.\n\nOn another camping trip, we felt a spirit near the bon-fire. We had a ring of 40 tiki-torches around the bonfire. It was a still and windless night, but all the tiki flames near the spirit bent in. One of the people in the circle had a fancy camera. After the campout she went to get the film developed, and all the photos from before the visitor turned out, but after that all the film was blank. She took the camera in to be repaired. The repairman asked if she'd been in a nuclear power plant. All the innards were fried from electromagnetism\n\nMy grandmother died while my niece was in utero. After my niece was born, she would look up at areas where no one was standing, and laugh and giggle. We all knew that she was looking at gramma, so we never showed her any pictures. Finally, at about a year old, she could speak, and my sister showed her the family photo album. My niece picked out her photo and said, "That's Old Gramma."\n\nOne time on a camping trip, a witch and I created a psychic link which allowed us to keep tabs on each other without needing those family band radios.\n\nPersonally, I do spiritual healing with singing bowls. I play the bowl in someone's hand, and feel the vibrations as they extend through the person, and can tell them where the vibrations are and what they're doing.\n\nI used to work with a Reiki master who could tell people many details about their lives while we were doing our energy work. Very specific things\n\nmany people drain those around them of life force, but there are some who can do it purposefully. They have the ability to reach out and drain a person's energy. They say it's better than caffeine. \n\nI have a good friend who can do that. She's the only energy vampire I know who uses her power for good. She takes people's headaches. She also has an amazing ability to sense energies, making her one of the most powerful witches I know (I know a lot of witches who claim to be powerful, but very few who actually are). I have known her for many years and we are very close friends.\n\nOne time it was the dead of winter, she was sitting next to a window, and she felt someone looking at her. She looked and there was someone dressed in black with no color in their body sitting across the road, intently looking at her. She looked down for no more than five seconds, looked up again, and he was sitting on her side of the road, still intently looking at her. He was not dressed for the cold, but was not shivering at all. Just intense calm looking at her. She immediately closed the blinds realizing that she had just had an encounter with a real vampire. A real vampire and a kindred spirit. It probably wasn't a vampire like Dracula or what we see from Hollywood, but it was definitely something from outside of our mundane existence.\n\nOne time, on a camping trip, it was an especially magickal night. At some point, everyone in the camp noticed that something was missing, including a necklace from around one woman's neck. The area where we were camping was separate

Back in 1985 I had to have my horse put to sleep because of old age.  The following day, we took the rest of the horses out for a ride because we (horses included) were all missing him and were glum.  To get to the woods, we had to cross a bridge.  Every time we went over the bridge, I would look at the shadows of the horses' legs - mostly because by doing that, you could see whether anyone was lame or moving badly.  As I looked, I realised that there was the shadow of another horse behind me.  That horse had a very short, bushy tail.  My horse had had a very short, bushy tail.  I had thought it was funny, that the horse I was riding kept turning around to look behind her and wasn't very comfortable, but I just assumed they were still jumpy from having lost their friend.  I didn't realise it was that their friend had decided to come along for the ride!  I was glad to see that he wasn't lame any more and happy that he could now run and gallop with the best of them.  :)

THIS week- My son and I were in the yard digging up worms to go fishing. I slammed the shovel into the pile of soft dirt we have just for this kind of thing and out fell a baby mole who's head was busted from the shovel. It's brains spilled out onto the ground and it was still moving. \nTHE MOLE ALONE WAS GROSS...YUCKY!!!\nThen, two days ago I was on the front porch and this aweful noise came from the highway. We live 1/4 mile off the road so by the time I got out there a deer was in the ditch. It had been hit and it was sliced open on the side. She was still breathing and you could see her baby's hoof coming out of her side. \n\nYUCK YUCK YUCK!...AND SAD...
