We were playing Nintendo and my Beagle woke up and started staring at the ceiling of my living room and got off the couch and walked towards the corner, barked and walked backwards from the wall. What is the dog doing and why? There are no windows in that area and the house is fairly new. (she did this several times)

What is the dog doing and why? There are no windows in that area and the house is fairly new. (she did this several times)
We checked for bugs and saw none, there are no mice in the house on our ceiling and there is a light in the corner but it is off and has no power running to it.

The living room is on the first floor of the house. The wall she was barking at is the back of the garage (front of the living room). There are no bats in the house (girlfriend was in the garage throwing out recyclables tonight and saw nothing out of the ordinary)

it could be your ceiling lamp or fan is emitting some high pitch noise that is not audible to us but drive your dog nuts
start observing whether your dog stop barking after the appliance is switched off.

A dog's sense of smell and hearing are far better than humans. My guess is mice or bats in the attic or something structural like a crack or the house settling.
I would vote against spirits. They have more to do in a day than freak out your dog.
Cheers.

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tr.im/tHhdO
If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.
It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.

HE could have herd something on the roof in the attic beagles, & dogs in general have excellent hearing and beagle do have a strong since of smell so put the two together a squirrel on your roof and you got a beagle barking.

It sounds like maybe she senses a squirrel or mice either on your roof, or in the walls of the house. Dogs are great at sensing that stuff.

My former boyfriend's dog did that once at the fire place mantle, the same place his 2 year old neice stared at too. Too many things happened to mention in that house. I guess if the house in fairly new it wouldn't be mice.

Could have been a fly or echo up there. Or maybe had a dream about something on the ceiling and just got confused...?

Bug on the wall, small spiders. It's really hot outside, the buggers like to come indoors.
