Dog

In Inca mythology, it was believed that dogs were able to travel between life and death and see the souls of the dead. In addition, the Incas believed that dissatisfied dead spirits could appear to people as black dogs.

According to reports, the Aymara people in Bolivia believed that dogs were associated with death and incest. They thought that people who died had to cross the ocean into the afterlife in the ear or muzzle of a black dog.

In addition, other reports claim that women who sleep alone at night may be pregnant with ghosts, resulting in the baby being born with dog paws.
