    merely anchored to a physical body, there was an involuntary interplay between the physical and higher worlds—a natural involuntary clair- voyance. Animals not infrequently show a similar primitive clairvoyance. It is well known that a dog will growl at a presence in a room imperceptible to his master, and sometimes cower with fear: a cat under similar conditions will arch its back and ruffle its fur, spit and hiss; and a horse will shy at an object invisible to his rider.1 Horses will sometimes show great uneasiness at passing a roadside spot where an accident, or a scene of violence, has occurred, showing that they are sens- itive to the akashic impression. 1 There is a clever story turning upon this psychic sensitiveness of animals in Mr. Alger- non Blackwood’s John Silence.
