1. Introduction to Paranormal Pets
The episode opens with Sabrina introducing the theme of paranormal pets, highlighting the hosts' preference for heartwarming supernatural tales over traditionally scary ones. Sabrina mentions her current experience fostering six kittens, setting a personal and intimate tone for the episode.
Sabrina (06:15): "We're going to talk about ghost pets, pets with paranormal abilities and so much more."
2. Ghost Dogs: Spirits of Loyalty and Protection
a. Balakan House – Scotland
The first major story centers on Balakan House, dubbed the most haunted house in Scotland. The narrative follows Major Robert Stewart, who was deeply fascinated by Hinduism and convinced he would reincarnate as a black spaniel. To facilitate this transition, he lived among 14 dogs, hoping one would serve as his vessel upon death. However, upon Major Stewart's passing, his nephew inherited the house and ordered the killing of any dogs on the property, fearing the uncle’s return. Defying his nephew’s attempts, Major Stewart’s spirit manifested as a spectral black spaniel, continuing to haunt the house.
Sabrina (12:15): "This is a story about ghost dogs, reincarnation and Scotland."
Notable Encounter:
Sabrina (15:35): "People have reported seeing the same spectral dog that looks like a bloodhound continue to come at 3am, lapping up the now invisible alcohol."
b. Post Bridge Bloodhound – Devon, England
Next, the hosts recount the legend of the Post Bridge Bloodhound in Devon. James Webb, a tin miner, established the New Inn in 1863. Following his death in 1889, his son John Webb, influenced by the temperance movement, dramatically renounced alcohol by pouring all the inn's alcohol into a nearby river. That night, a ghostly bloodhound was seen drinking the dissolved alcohol under the moonlight, appearing nightly at 3am, embodying the spirit of Webb’s defiance and the inn's transformation.
Sabrina (20:14): "Now the inn is renamed the East Dart Inn, and people swear to hear a dog walking around, clacking with its little nails in and around the property."
c. Other Ghost Dog Tales
The hosts briefly reference previous episodes that featured stories like the Hound of Goshen in South Carolina and Preston the Boxer, a spectral protector who saved a child on Halloween.
Sabrina (09:10): "In episode 13, we talked about... Preston the boxer, who... continues to protect children."
3. Ghost Kangaroos: Cryptids Across America
Shifting focus, Sabrina introduces the unusual phenomenon of ghost kangaroos reported across the United States. These cryptid sightings span over a century, with notable reports from Wisconsin (1899), Tennessee (1934), New Jersey (1900), Pennsylvania (1907), and Chicago (1978), among others. Descriptions depict kangaroo-like creatures with extraordinary speed and the ability to vanish without a trace, leading to theories about interdimensional beings or mass hysteria.
Kirin (37:28): "Why can't there be?"
Notable Sighting:
Sabrina (47:34): "In 1978, Chicago harassed by this kangaroo beast... the creature was seen multiple times, killing ducks and geese."
The hosts speculate on the origins of these sightings, considering possibilities like escaped exotic pets, interdimensional portals, or residual hauntings linked to historical events.
Sabrina (41:09): "This kangaroo beast was reported multiple times... giving chase, but it would disappear without a trace."
4. Ghost Chickens: Sir Francis Bacon’s Poultry Geist
Corinne and Sabrina delve into the peculiar tale of a ghost chicken associated with Sir Francis Bacon. In 1626, Bacon experimented with meat preservation using snow, leading to his untimely death from pneumonia. Legend holds that his spirit manifested as a spectral, featherless white chicken haunting Pond Square. Numerous sightings, including one where a ghost chicken interrupted a couple's intimate moment, suggest a residual haunting tied to Bacon’s tragic demise.
Sabrina (30:16): "The ghost chicken was like a chaperone at a school dance... saying, 'No PDA in my pond.'"
5. Listener Story: A Father’s Spirit Reincarnated as a Dog
The episode culminates with a heartfelt listener submission from Elena, who shares her family's paranormal experience. After her father's sudden death, their family cat exhibited unusual behaviors before disappearing. A year later, they adopted a wiener dog, whose actions eerily mirrored their late father's habits and preferences, leading them to believe their father returned as the family pet. Over 13 years, the dog provided comfort and exhibited traits deeply connected to their deceased father, reinforcing the bond between spirits and animals.
Elena (57:22): "Over the last 13 years, this dog has very much convinced us that this dog is our dad, who came back to support us and show us that he's always there."
