If you are wondering why dogs and cats see ghosts, unlike humans, and how to recognize their visions by their behavior, then in the description of the experiment you will find the answer.
It is not uncommon for owners to claim that their dogs are in the hallway, in front of a window, or in a room where there is no one else. Some pets bark uncontrollably, sometimes it seems that they are interacting with someone invisible, while other dogs die of fear and just hide.
A dog hiding under a bed, barking in empty quiet rooms, or a dog that is agitated and nervous for no apparent reason are some of the signs that the dog may be seeing a ghost.
Why is this happening? Is the dog mentally disturbed? No, in many cases the phenomenon that the dog perceives is real. That is, it is actually possible that dogs see ghosts, spirits, ghosts, or whatever you want to call them. At the same time, animals consider them as real as you and me.
Why do dogs see ghosts but people don't?
Nobody knows for sure. As dogs see ghosts, they also sense when an earthquake occurs. Dogs' physical senses are more developed than ours.

It is believed that dogs have a sense of smell 100,000 times greater than ours, and their hearing is more sophisticated. Dogs and cats can hear sounds that are not audible to the human ear. Perhaps, in this way, dogs are able to perceive what is outside of us.
Another theory is that since dogs are not influenced by the human mind or our current culture, which denies the existence of otherworldly phenomena, they are able to perceive these other creatures with their sixth sense. Dogs simply perceive them more easily because they experience them naturally.
An experiment to test the canine and feline perception of ghosts
Several experiments have been done on this topic. An example appears in a book by Collin Wilson called Secrets: An Investigation of the Occult, the Paranormal, and the Supernatural. This tells the story of the experience of Robert Morris, the famous American psychologist and paranormal researcher, who used animals in some of his studies.
Robert Morris took a house in Kentucky with ghosts or paranormal activity, a dog, a cat, a rattlesnake and a mouse. He left them in a room where violent paranormal events took place.
The dog, cat and snake were aggressive or scared and behaved strangely.
The dog at the sight of a ghost (or whatever) raised its fur, lowered its ears, barked and ran out of the room, not wanting to return.
The snake took up an attack position. The only animal that didn't react was the mouse. But the rest turned out to have discovered the presence of the supernatural without any doubt. This is just one example in a thousand on this topic, but the perception of the otherworldly applies not only to dogs, but also to cats!
