Sharpening one's senses has been known that even the sixth sense would be so great that the word supernatural has to be used to understand it. The six sense is commonly reffered to Extrasensory Perception or ESP for short. ESP involves reception of information not gained through the recognized physical senses but sensed with the mind. ESP is often tested by Zener Cards.

There as been numerous ghost stories about animals having higher abilities to sense supernatural beings. However,there is no solid proof that ESP exists. And so, there are scientists who study paranormal psychic phenomena and they are known as the parapsychologists.

Ambitious they were, it was hard for them to get aprroval for human subjects, so instead animals
like dogs and cats participated in their tests and experiments.

They were genetically modified, bio-weapons were their first aim. ESP allow one to have physcic abilities, like abilities to control things from a distance, creating flames. Selling it off to the national army would increase their fundings.

However, only one of the many dogs passed the test with Zener cards. The problem did not lie with the number, but the ability. It was the one and only ability that has no war or military potential. It was, the ability to sense and see the dead.

But of course, this is just an hypothesis that they came to after trying to evoke its ESP countless times, but this dog just runs to the window every time. Every time at night, it became more frequent. It barks, but no one could be found. The most interesting thing is that, everytime it barks there is always no one out there on the street.

What the dog looks at remains a question? Can it really see what other's can't?
