What exactly is your question? You seem to be making a string of declarations, not asking a question.

I want to figure out what all these things turn out to mean about Bundy: the barking dogs, the darkened eyes, which seem to defy anything natural I can think of, and some other things I may bring up later. I've been developing theories, a couple have already panned out.
It seems obvious that you think Ted Bundy was inhabited by demons instead of just being a sick and disgusting human being without remorse or conscience.
I also don't think dogs should be explaining what is or isn't rational behavior... my dog is terrified of baby strollers... probably because she doesn't understand what they are, not because the baby is the spawn of Satan.
Also, its been proven that anger has an effect on pupil dilation which may create the appearance of darker eyes. I wasn't looking in his eyes when he was telling the stories, but he may have been reliving the experience as he explained it. I think what you can deduce from his crimes was a feeling of rage and overkill which may account for the seeming change.

It's in the movie "The Bundy Tapes" at Netflix
Been meaning to look into it... guess tonight is as good a night as any to start it.
I got the idea that he probably had a demon from the reaction of the dogs, which seemed excessive compared to normal dog reactions to strangers. I couldn't explain how a dog would "know" that Bundy was a killer, I kept trying to think of possible explanations. Having a demon makes sense because a killer is very ****** to have a demon and a dog could sense a demon. It's a theory, Hyro, just a theory I have, but I think it makes sense.
If my dog has a bad reaction to a person, I have my suspicions about them... not to say that my dog always makes the right choices. Animals do have certain sensitivities that we just don't possess... like the ability to sense a slight change in barometric pressure when a storm is sometimes days away or feeling vibrations that we don't feel prior to a massive earthquake. I don't think we know exactly how it works but have seen enough examples to logically conclude that they have some sense that we don't or is severely diminished by comparison.
As to the whole demon thing, you obviously know where I would land on that issue. I'll respect the fact that even Jesus talked about it, but there are very normal and logical reasons people can create the impression of demonic possession... untreated mental illness, like schizophrenia... serial killers are something different though. Psychopathy can be induced by poor pre-frontal cortex development and anti-social behavior can be caused by abuse (physical, mental, or sexual) or severe neglect. I think serial killers generally have both issues going on simultaneously so that they literally are incapable of feeling empathy and also view people as objects to control. That's just speaking in generalities. With Bundy, as far as I am aware, had a relatively normal childhood and still ended up being a complete psychopath.
Whatever the case or cause, we can all agree that Ted Bundy was a sick son-of-a-bitch that, if given the chance, would have killed hundreds if time and circumstances allowed.

Re: The question about the dogs
It would seem that the dogs don't take you for a serial killer. So far so good.
Yes all we can do is guess about why dogs were belligerent to Ted Bundy even on first meeting him, but their behavior was so belligerent it seems worth a thoughtful guess.
Have you never knocked on someone's door to be met by a ferocious dog snapping, snarling, growling and otherwise acting belligerent? I assume its not because the dog knows you're a serial killer but because it views you as an intruder coming in to its territory and there exists some innate sense to protect it.
I have no doubt that there's something to a dog's ability to understand things on a deeper level than humans do, up to and including a dog sensing some kind of threat from a person like Bundy...
I'm just cautioning anyone to make assumptions based on that alone. Sometimes there are many reasons why a dog freaks out. I've had dogs lick me to death and have dogs bark at me. Its nuanced and complicated.
