Anyone else's pets freaking out before things start moving on their own?

My dog does this every single time, sits bolt upright, stares at a specific corner of the room, and then two minutes later something falls off the shelf with zero explanation.

Animals basically have the paranormal equivalent of a weather app built into them, and we're out here spending thousands on fancy equipment when we could just watch the dog.

Anyone else notice a consistent gap between the animal reaction and the actual event? Mine seems to be roughly 60-90 seconds every time which is weirdly specific. Would be well interesting to know if thats a pattern other people are seeing or if my dog is just particularly dramatic about it.

Yes this is extremely well documented, goes back centuries really. Animals pick up on infrasound - frequencies below 20hz that humans cant hear. Infrasound can cause physical objects to vibrate at their resonant frequency and eventually shift or fall. So your dog isnt necessarily sensing something supernatural, it might be detecting the same low frequency wave that then causes the shelf incident a moment later.

That said ive had cats here in Whitby that responded to locations with no recorded infrasound source at all, which is where it gets interesting. The animal behaviour is consistent but the cause isnt always explainable by acoustics alone. Worth getting a cheap infrasound app on your phone and logging readings when your dog reacts. If theres no spike, that changes the picture considerably.
