Things that go "thump" in the night

Could it be the spirit of a departed pet?

By Judy Keenan

Deb Ahearn's business, A-Team Paranormal, provides investigation, education and support for people seeking answers to unexplained phenomena related to the spirit world. That includes the possibility of a pet spirit world as well. Her logic is that if we have souls then why shouldn't pets have souls? And, if we and they have souls then we and they may be a part of the spirit world.
