Synopsis

It is to testify to a future existence for animals and to create a wider interest in it that Mr. O'Donnell has undertaken to compile this book; and his object, he believes, can best be achieved in his own way, the way of the investigator of haunted places. The mere fact that there are manifestations of "dead" people proves some kind of life after death for human beings; and happily the same proof is available with regard to future life for animals; indeed there are as many animal phantasms as human - perhaps more; hence, if the human being lives again, so do his friends. Contents: cats; dogs; horses and the unknown; bulls, cows and pigs; wild animals and the unknown; inhabitants of the jungle; birds and the unknown.

About this title

About the Author:

Elliott O'Donnell (February 27, 1872 - May 8, 1965) was an Irish author known primarily for his books about ghosts. He claimed to have seen a ghost, described as an elemental figured covered with spots, when he was five years old. He also claimed to have been strangled by a mysterious phantom in Dublin. He claimed descent from Irish chieftains of ancient times, including Niall of the Nine Hostages (the King Arthur of Irish folklore) [1] and Red Hugh, who fought the English in the sixteenth century. O'Donnell was educated at Clifton College in Bristol, England, and later at Queen's Service Academy, Dublin, Ireland. In later life he became a ghost hunter, but first he traveled in America, working on a range in Oregon and becoming a policeman during the Chicago Railway Strike of 1894. Returning to England, he worked as a schoolmaster and trained for the theater. He served in the British army in World War I, and later acted on stage and in movies.
