Do dogs see spirits?

Evening all,

This might sound like a bit of a weird question... lol

Do you think dogs can sense or see spirits?

The reason I'm asking is: my 5-month-old pup sometimes sits back on her haunches and just stares at a spot in the house, or at the ceiling... She stays completely still and goes quite stiff... for a few seconds?

Anyway, there's my "away with the fairies" question lol! Have a good evening

    "It’s been proven": I’d love to know exactly when, by whom and, most importantly, how. Now, I can understand how certain things might make you think animals see "spirits", but claiming it’s an absolute truth backed by science is a bit of a stretch. Accepting that dogs and cats see entities would mean admitting that they have biological and anatomical visual capabilities that we know nothing about, since we don’t possess them ourselves. It's pretty hard to confirm that through a scientific experiment, then. That said, Boubie, if you have any kind of written proof that this has been validated by a proper scientific study, I’d be more than happy to read it.

    My dog couldn't care less if there are spirits or not! Like master, like dog.

    Yes, it’s been proven that dogs AND even cats can see spirits. Molly started staring all over our living room, then she’d bolt into the hallway and come back into the lounge looking terrified... Apparently, my house has a ghost, but anyway, I’m not going to talk about the paranormal here. Have a good evening! :) Yeah, I’m not here to talk about the paranormal either, but I did think her behaviour was weird... I understand it better now... and well, honestly, it’s not such a silly question after all. My little guardian angel doesn’t seem to be scaring me, anyway... she’s being very well-behaved!
