Animal Ghosts; Or, Animal Hauntings and the Hereafter by Elliott O'Donnell
"Animal Ghosts; Or, Animal Hauntings and the Hereafter" by Elliott O'Donnell is a fascinating exploration of the spectral existence of animals and their potential afterlives, written in the early 20th century. This work is structured as a collection of accounts and essays that delve into how various animals, particularly pets like cats and dogs, may haunt places due to their past experiences or mistreatments during their lifetimes. The author argues for theexistence of a spiritual realm where animals, much like humans, also seek compensation and justice for their earthly sufferings. The opening of the text sets the tone by expressing a strong conviction about the moral obligation to recognize that animals deserve a future existence, paralleling humanity's afterlife beliefs. O'Donnell introduces the concept of animal hauntings, illustrated through a narrative exploring haunted locations and encounters that establish connections between the living and the past lives of animals. For example, he recounts a story about a lady's experiences with a ghostly cat that appears before tragic family events, suggesting that these encounters serve both as a form of compensation for the animals’ mistreatment and a reminder of their innate spirits that linger on.
