In this episode, Erika has Dr. Brandy Stark guide us into one of the most intriguing and often overlooked realms of the supernatural. They discuss paranormal pets, animal spirits, and the mysterious roles they play in hauntings and otherworldly encounters. Drawing from her extensive research and firsthand experiences, Dr. Stark reveals how animals perceive energies and entities that slip past human senses, offering a unique window into the unseen.We explore why animals are frequently the first to react to a haunting, how their instincts tune into subtle shifts in the environment, and what it might mean when a beloved pet appears to cross over or linger as a guardian spirit. Dr. Stark shares compelling accounts of ghostly companions, spectral wildlife, and shadow‑creature manifestations, each story shedding light on how non‑human entities shape the supernatural landscape.Along the way, we dive into cross‑cultural folklore surrounding animal spirits, the science behind animal intuition, and chilling tales of creatures that defy explanation. From phantom paws padding across old floorboards to dogs growling at corners no one else dares to look at, these encounters remind us that animals often walk between worlds more easily than we do.Join us as we uncover the mysteries of the animal realm and discover how these extraordinary beings may serve as protectors, or messengers from the other side.Episode Credits: Hosts - Erika Lance @authorerikalance, Mark Muncy [email protected] Producer - Beau Lake @beau__lake  [email protected] Intro/Outro Music - Destini Beard @destinibeardmusic Full Song available for purchase now at destinibeard.bandcamp.com Illustrations by Kari Schultz @foxdreamart Our PO Box - Eerie Travels, PO Box 419, Sylva, NC 28779 Patreon - patreon.com/eerietravelsSend questions or listener encounter stories on the contact us page at EerieTravels.com. Our books can be found wherever fine books are sold or at EerieTravels.com as well.Pre-order our new book, “Eerie Travels Presents: The Dark Heart of Appalachia.” Coming February 14, 2027 at your favorite local bookstore or at our website.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/eerie-travels/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
