Do Animals have
souls? Do they survive death? Psychics say yes, EVP voices and
transcommunication images affirm it, and a further evidence may be
accrued by photography.
According to
irene@angelicaphotography.com, "The photographs you are looking at
contain a picture of a cat's spirit. I have been a professional
photographer since 1981, and I can unequivically attest that neither the
print nor the negative has been retouched. There is no double exposure,
trick photography, or computer wizardry of any kind. The cat in the
center of the picture died before the photograph was taken. Here is the
story.
"A few years ago, my friends Joe and Anita created a sanctuary on their
Milwaukie, Oregon, property to shelter a colony of feral cats. Joe
built miniature cedar houses for them, and Anita planted special trees
and shrubbery for the cats to hide and play in. All the cats know this
tranquil place is their home. Over time, Joe and Anita have spayed and
neutered the cats, named each one, and become familiar with all their
different personalities. One in particular, named Little Joe, stood out
among these ferals, not only for his playful ways, but because he was
the only one who would let Anita touch him. The others trust their
caretakers, but never come within petting distance.
"In May, 1999, Anita discovered Little Joe by the side of the road. He
had been hit by a car and killed instantly. After they buried him, Joe
and Anita realized how few photos they had, not only of Little Joe, but
of all their feral colony. Recognizing how meaningful pictures like this
are, they picked up some film, and over the next few days they
photographed their remaining cats.
"That weekend they dropped the film off for processing, and came back an
hour later. Excitedly, they started going through the prints before they
even left the store. When Anita saw this picture, she thought she was
dreaming.

Do animals survive death, as humans hope
to?

"'Isn't this Little Joe?' she asked her husband.
"'Couldn't be,' he answered, reaching for the photo.
"They both were speechless as they stared at the incontrovertible
evidence that Little Joe's spirit was alive and well and visiting
them.
"When my cat, Lenny, passed away on April 21, 2000, Joe and Anita
graciously gave me several copies of this very special picture to help
me through my sorrow. Looking at it has helped to lessen my sadness.
For everyone who has ever lost a beloved pet, a dear friend or family
member, I offer this picture to comfort you. Know without a doubt that
it is this world that is temporary. The spirit is immortal."
(Please contact Irene at the address above for
complimentary copies of these photographs.)
My comments on these particular photos are that one image of the cat has
a halo effect indicative of Photoshop manipulation. The second could be
dismissed as a motion blur. However, in the case of this departed
feline, Little Joe, and of all our other beloved late pets, I do hope we
see them again, if not on film or digitally, then when we make our own
crossing.
Doggone it!
According to the photographer, Rita, "This
photo was taken in front of my childhood home in the summer of
1966. It was taken by my then seven year old brother with a
very inexpensive Diana camera using 120 film.

Just who is that doggy in the
window?
|
"In the photo my older brother is holding our kitten with
our father's truck in the background. As children, we never
noticed anything unusual about the image. It was put away in a
drawer with dozens of other snapshots and forgotten.
"Almost 20 years later my brother...and our friend who grew up
across the street from us were looking at a stack of photos,
reminiscing. Our friend asked 'Who's dog is in the truck?' The
problem was we didn't have a dog at that time, and the only
two dogs we did have while growing up were both fawn colored
boxers. None of us recall a white dog in our neighborhood. Also,
we were not allowed to play in the truck and certainly wouldn't
have let a strange dog inside it.

"The strangest part of this is that the dog is transparent--the
rear window can be seen through the dog's head. We asked my
mother...about the dog. She remembers that they bought the
truck from a chicken rancher who had a large English sheepdog
type of dog.
"The dog is obviously looking at the boy holding the kitten with a
great deal of interest, just as a 'real' dog would. This image is so
clear that even very small children notice it without prompting.
(Also please note that the black circle around the dog's eye is
the side mirror on the truck.)"

Alleged photo of a ghost
dog.

This photograph, taken in the 1920s, purports
to show a ghost dog,
whose head is just visible above the back end of
the other.
The woman had apparently owned a dog that looked like the
apparition,
but the dog had died before this picture was
taken.

A similar story is attached to this photograph
of the same era.
Supposedly the rather blobby looking kitten on the
right was not present when
the photo was taken and was identified as
a different cat that had recently died.

"I
took this picture a little over a year ago of my daughter and our kitty,
Gabby. I
don't know what the fuzzy mark is in the picture. At the time, I only
had one kitty;
now I have two kitties and the fuzz kind of resembles the cat I have
now."
