What to do if you get Haunted by Dead Pets
Let’s say you happen to electrocute your pet chicken. Accidentally, of course! Then, in a shocking turn of events, that self-same chicken decides to appear in your bedroom covered in ectoplasm. In the event of one such haunting, please adhere to the following guidelines:
-
Deny, deny, deny
Who’s haunted? Not you. Pay no attention to the ghost-like presence of your formerly alive pet chicken.
-
Verify the haunting
Pinch yourself. Dead pet still there? Then, yes, you are in fact haunted.
-
Consult the experts
Now might be a good time to pay a visit to a medium. Or maybe you have a friend who knows their way around a Ouija board.
-
Consult the haunter
Can your pet suddenly talk to you? The afterlife may have opened new communication possibilities outside of your standard barking, meowing, or chirping.
-
Attempt to appease
Now that communication is flowing smoothly, consider asking what your pet wants. A bone? Head scritches? Your aid avenging its untimely death by solving a murder?
