Ghost Dog

I use to live in the Searingtown on Long Island (exit 36 off of the Long Island Expressway.)
When I was in high school we had this dachshund named Sandy who lived to be 17 years old. When he died in the house we buried him in the backyard.
Soon afterwards our other dog started to stare at the fireplace where Sandy use to make himself comfortable. A couple of neighbors soon asked if we had bought another dachshund. We told them that all we had was his hairy mutt. They claimed to have seen a dachshund in the backyard.
We moved in 1989, but that was not the end. We learned before moving to Florida that the house had been sold three times.
According to some people who still lived in the neighborhood past and current owners complained of mysterious odors, and some even claimed that they've heard the sounds of a small dog walking across the tiled floors, and the jingling of a dog's collar.
