Phantom hound apparition
A ghost dog is a spectral canine—the apparition of a dead dog, often appearing in folklore, horror stories, and paranormal accounts.
The term also describes dogs that seem to appear and vanish mysteriously: I keep seeing a ghost dog in the neighborhood, but no one knows where it lives.
In film and fiction, ghost dogs often serve as guardians or omens.
