Article: 7 Steps To Finding A Lost Animal

Our dog Sprite from 2013.
I've received quite a few emails asking me if someone's lost pet is still alive so I thought I'd share this
article from Animal Wellness to help others do things to find their pet and alleviate their concern.

7 Steps To Finding A Lost Animal
Source: https://animalwellnessmagazine.com/7-steps-to-finding-a-lost-animal/

Over the years, your perfect pooch or kitty has wiggled his way into your home and your heart, earning himself a starring role on your family tree. And then the unthinkable happens. He escapes through an open door, jumps a fence, or takes off after a squirrel – and before you know it, he’s lost, despite your frantic searching and calling.
“Most people believe their animals would never go missing, when, in fact, statistics show that one in three will go missing in their lifetime,” says Landa Coldiron, animal detective and owner of Lost Pet Detection. “Many times when people call me, they feel they have done everything possible, when they have not even scratched the surface of what needs to be done.”
If your companion ever goes astray, don’t despair. Follow these seven steps to help bring him safely home again.
1. Plan, don’t panic
It’s easy to panic and imagine all kinds of horrible scenarios when your animal gets lost. You may even be experiencing some of the stages of grief. Hold it right there! He’s missing; he’s out there somewhere, perhaps frightened and seeking your comforting presence. Wasting precious time and energy worrying and speculating is not helping. Planning will help – and put you on the fast track to a successful recovery.
“Just running around, calling for your animal and trying random things at random times and locations can be a huge waste of time,” says Annalisa Berns, animal detective and owner of Pet Search and Rescue. “A plan helps you focus on what you are doing – and what to do next. A plan helps you prioritize the most effective techniques to try first, and what can be put off. It also helps you identify what tasks you can ask friends and family to help with.”
2. Ask for help
You may feel like shutting out the world and doing all the search work yourself. This is never a good idea. “People who work alone in their efforts to recover a lost animal are at risk of discouragement and burnout,” says animal detective Kat Albrecht, founder of Missing Pet Partnership and author of The Lost Pet Chronicles and Dog Detectives.
Friends and family serve as a support system. They also add strength to your search, and that could mean the difference between finding your best friend or not. “For most missing animal scenarios, it is a volume game,” says private investigator Karin TarQwyn. “In my experience, 90% of all missing animals are found due to other people’s eyes and ears. The more people who know your animal is missing, the higher the likelihood of recovery. This is no different from a missing person investigation, except there’s no help from outside agencies and community groups.”
3. Pick up the phone
Talking on the phone is probably the last thing you’ll feel like doing when you can’t find your dog or cat. Being out on the street searching may make you feel more productive. But placing a few all-important calls to get the word out about your missing friend is an important step.
Five locations could be beneficial to your search: local animal control, animal-related businesses, animal shelters, veterinary offices and animal rescue groups. Informing local animal workers and employees about your predicament will raise awareness and keep more people on the lookout for your companion.

4. Supersize your search
Posting pint-sized flyers on telephone poles, stop signs and store windows near your home may seem an effective way to get the word out about your missing animal, but to really attract the public’s attention, supersize your search by using huge posters. It’s far more proactive. “Giant neon posters are by far the number one method to recover lost animals and return them to their rightful families,” says Kat. “Follow the 5 + 5 + 55 rule – five words drivers can read within five seconds while driving 55 miles an hour. In our experience, big strategically-placed posters are one of the most successful techniques for recovering a lost animal.”
5. Network online
Social networking sites aren’t just for catching up with friends from high school or keeping track of family milestones. They are also one of the number one ways for spreading the word about missing animals.
Social media networks such as Facebook allow you to immediately send a “call to arms” about your search to your nearest and dearest – and give your friends the ability to send the alert to everyone in their network, and so on. With the power of social networking sites, half the United States could know about the quest for your dog or cat in less than 30 minutes!
MY TIPS:    **Some Areas have www.Craigslist.com with a Lost Pets section; and there's also www.nextdoor.com that connects you to YOUR neighborhood.   There are also FACEBOOK groups for lost pets in various counties ( just put "lost pets" and your county name to search)
6. Consult a professional
Consistency is key when you start searching for your animal companion. But if you find you are getting nowhere, change things up and think outside the box. It could be the very thing that helps pinpoint his location and bring him home safe and sound. “If you’ve done everything traditional to find your animal, and you haven’t found him, it’s time to think about other techniques and strategies – and consult a professional,” says Annalisa. An animal detective is specially trained in search and rescue and can employ methods you may not know about or have access to. “Of course some animals return home on their own,” Annalisa adds. “However, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association and the California Veterinary Medical Association, the chances of a lost animal coming home on his own is only 11%. Don’t count on that.”
7. Just say no…to giving up!
You may feel drained, emotionally and physically, but throwing in the towel and giving up too soon, maybe before your search has even truly started, may be the worst mistake you can make. “Most people become disheartened after only a day or two when their animal goes missing,” says Annalisa. “Keep focused and keep searching – and not just for a few hours or days. I strongly suggest that people search for a minimum of two weeks – if not longer.”
Searching for a lost dog or cat is never easy or pleasant. But following these steps will greatly enhance your chances of finding him again. And recovering a missing companion is the most rewarding feeling in the world!

In the news: Woman Suffers Heart Problems After Dog Dies

Joanie Simpson's Yorkshire terrier, Meha. (Cr:Joanie Simpson)
Since I wrote my book "Pets and the Afterlife" in 2013 and the follow up "Pets and the Afterlife 2" I've been receiving a lot of emails and messages from people who lost their pets. I'm happy to try and provide a message or two from their pets to provide some comfort and a recent study shows the importance of those messages. 
  Losing a pet is like losing a child. Yes, they're different from human children, but we're 100% responsible for them. It can be devastating. An earlier study showed that we often grieve MORE for our pets than people who passed. - Rob 

Woman Suffers Heart Problems After Dog Dies
Article from the Washington Post Oct. 19, 2017(Houston, TX)  --  Doctors say she almost died of a broken heart.  Joanie Simpson was airlifted to a Houston, Texas hospital earlier this year with what seemed to be a heart attack.  In fact, it was a syndrome that looks a lot like a heart attack, usually triggered by the emotions that flood in with the loss of a loved one.  In this case, it was Simpson's Yorkshire terrier.  

The case was detailed last week in the "New England Journal of Medicine" as a clear case of what's sometimes called "broken heart syndrome."  

A recent study found that people who care for ill pets suffer real physical effects from the burden, including stress and anxiety.

Q&A with Medium Rob Gutro: What to Expect at Medium Group Events

Here's a question I received recently about people going to a group session with a medium:

Q: What can I expect when I go to a group session with a Medium? 
A: Not everyone gets a reading, and sometimes the person you want to come through doesn't come through. Sometimes people you would never expect come through, like an uncle you never met in life but guides you from the afterlife. 

Q: Will the spirit I want to talk with come through? 
A:  It all depends if that person has something to tell you, or if they have a bold enough personality.  
My dad used to come through to me a lot after he passed. But once my mom passed, (She used to do all the talking for both of them), she's now the only one who comes through. Dad  just sits back and let her do the talking from the other side, as he used to do in life. :) 

Q: Have you ever participated in group readings and did you get messages? 
A: Group sessions are interesting and can be overwhelming to me because there is so much energy (living and dead) in the room. I've done a couple with my friend Ruthie Larkin, the Beantown medium in Boston and Barb Mallon in VA. Yes, I've given quite a few messages to some folks at various events. 

Q: Do you do group readings? 
A:  No.  I don't do group readings because I'm not as disciplined as other mediums and prefer email readings where I can concentrate.  People can email me at Rgutro@gmail.com.

Thanksgiving: Your loved ones in spirit are around your table

Holidays are a prime time to get messages from spirits of loved ones who have passed away. So today, Thanksgiving (here in the U.S.), pay special attention because there may be subtle signs your spirits of your loved ones are around the table (people or pets). 

As I mention in my books "Ghosts and Spirits: Insights from a Medium" and "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead," our loved ones who passed are with us during holidays, birthdays and anniversaries. 

 Think of it this way: During a holiday, birthday or anniversary you will usually either have friends and relatives over for dinner or call them and wish them a great day. It's no different from how spirits behave on the other side. They want to do the same for us, because we can't pick up the phone - so they come to us! 

People who have passed and crossed over become spirits. Those who choose to stay behind on Earth are ghosts. Spirits have the ability to to come to people anywhere in the world, and even come to multiple people at the same time. Whenever the Holidays roll around, they are known to try and pass messages that they're there with the family as well. 
Sage and Harlow Cr:  https://www.facebook.com/harlowandsage/

 So, how do you look for signs from them? If you turn on the radio today, Thanksgiving, and you hear their favorite Christmas song (because radio stations are already playing them) - the spirit has influenced you to turn on the radio to know they're with you. 
- You may find yourself doing or saying something that your late mother,father, sister, brother or friend would be doing, or saying. 
- Spirits can influence us to do things and say things they used to. - You may also see someone that resembles a late loved one if you're traveling about today. 
- Look for pennies or other coins ;on the ground. Check the year, too- because it has some significance. Last year on Thanksgiving week when I was out walking our dogs, I found a Quarter with the year 1981 on it. That was the year my grandmother passed, so guess who dropped that coin for me?

Wishing you a wonderful thanksgiving. Just remember to give thanks for the spirits that will always be around you! 
- Rob

Video: A Ghostly Confederate Soldier at Gettysburg?

The Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War was one of the bloodiest battles ever. I've been there, and as a medium have a difficult time focusing because of all of the residual energy of fear and anxiety, and the number of actual ghosts that still haunt the battlefields.
   In 2013, two men decided to test that idea, and what they found has gone viral on Reddit. Keep your eyes on the cannons. Watch and pay close attention around the 1:45 mark. It appears to be a   Ghostly Confederate Soldier walking by the cannons before disappearing.

Tarot Tuesday with Joy Andreasen: "IV or Four of Wands Card"

Joy Andreasen  provides the interpretation of Tarot cards on these Tarot Tuesdays: Today's card  is the Four of Wands
It is time to celebrate an important event or accomplishment! It could be a wedding, a promotion, or even a birthday! Take some time to be grateful for all of the steps you have taken to reach this milestone and those people who were instrumental in helping you get to where you are today. If you are not completely happy with where you are, then perhaps make a plan of action for making some changes to get you to where you need to be. Every day be thankful that you have made it this far and make plans for your next milestone. Also, however, is the feeling of knowing that you are fine right here, right now. If you are contemplating huge life changes and become overwhelmed, celebrate the baby steps needed to get you where you need to be. Every day is a celebration and a new beginning.

I'm glad to see that my Pets and the Afterlife books continue to provide comfort and understanding to

On Sunday, Nov. 12, Amazon ranked Pets and the Afterlife in the top 10 in two categories:    
Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #32,948   in Kindle Store  

and a Review I like:

on July 15, 2016
Very touching and helpful book. The author is extremely nice and caring. He has a true gift.

A Ghost I Met at Sands House, Annapolis,Md.

The Sands House, Annapolis, Md.
During a recent historic Annapolis Ghost Walk in Maryland I got to visit the historic Sands House for the first time ever! It's a 300 year old house that was opened to the public for the first time, and we didn't expect to run into a ghost, but I got his name and more! 

"A Special Historic Haunting tour of Annapolis" was put on by Watermark and Historic Annapolis. It included a rare tour of the historic Sands House.
Room lit by candles where James Allen was

WHAT IS THE SANDS HOUSE? - It was a private residence for three centuries and is considered the oldest frame house in Annapolis. It is located at 130 Prince Georges Street and was built around 1700. It was named for John Sands who bought the house in 1771 and seven generations of his family lived there. 


OLDER FINDS BENEATH THE HOUSE - During a 1988 renovation, archaeologists who were working beneath the house found evidence of an older house from the 1600s! A number of Colonial artifacts were found including pipe stems, pins, a flintlock, coin, toothbrush and thimbles.  Even further were marks of a structure by Native Americans about 1,600 years ago!  Native American pottery was also found under the house.  

THE GHOST REVEALS HIMSELF TO ROB!  Once we entered the Sands house, we turned and entered the first room on right. It was dimly lit with only a dozen or so candles. As we walked in, I looked to the back of the room and I saw a dark horizontal long box about 6 feet long. I wondered if that was a table or some weird piece of furniture.  Once everyone got into the room I looked again, and there was nothing there! The long black box had disappeared and there was nothing but a solid wall.  It was then that the guide said "This is the room the family would bring in coffins and have viewings." I thought "Oh my gosh!  I was sensing residual energy from wakes that happened in this room!" 
left-hand room where Rob felt pain.
  Immediately after I realized that, I heard the voice of a male ghost shout "I am James Allen!" I felt nervousness and anxiety in that room. I realized that James Allen, whomever he is, was making me feel those emotions. I assume that "Allen" is either his surname or his middle name and he was part of the Sands family. I didn't get any more information, because the tour guide took us into the adjoining room. 

GHOSTLY PAIN -  In that next room, I was walloped with physical pain from a ghost. I'm unsure if it was from James Allen or someone else that was haunting the Sands House. As soon as I walked over the threshold of that room to the left of the front door, I experienced severe pain in my right shoulder, so intense that it actually made me bend over toward the right (the pain was in the right shoulder). Apparently, a ghost was sharing the pain he experienced before he died.  I was unable to get information from the ghost because, once again, we were ushered out of the room (it was a quick 6 minute tour).

Q&A: How do I tell who in Spirit is sending me a sign?

Recently I received the following great question about spirit, and here's my response:

Q: Is there a way to know for sure who is giving me signs from spirit? 

A:    Here's how to know which spirit is giving you a message:
1) If you're thinking about that person or pet, then that is who is dropping a coin, making an insect or bird act strangely, etc.
2) If the sign comes around the time of a birthday, anniversary or holiday, or date associated with them - like the adoption anniversary or anniversary of someone's passing, wedding, date they met you, etc.
3) If you find a coin, the year on it will give a clue to whom is around you
4) If you're missing someone in particular at that time, and thinking about them they often want to let you know they are with you.

Photo of the Belmont Manor Portal? What is a Portal?

4 mysterious lights in portal room
On Oct. 27, Inspired Ghost Tracking led 35 people through the historic Belmont Manor for a public paranormal investigation. One of  the rooms is known to have a portal (an energy doorway) that leads to another place on the property. One of the visitors took this photo where the portal is known to be. What do you think? 

FROM THE PHOTOGRAPHER: My Mom and I attended the Oct 27 Belmont investigation.  I took a picture in the "portal room" that has 4 lights on the floor.  Not sure what this is but thought I would send it to you to have a look. Stephanie 
Close up of the mystery lights on the floor of the portal room

MY RESPONSE:  Thank you for the photo. I've darkened the picture to see if those could have been reflections from the light fixtures on the wall, and they don't line up the same way (the light fixtures are horizontal, the 4 mystery lights on the floor are vertical. (like a doorway).  I also don't see anything shiny on the floor that could have acted as a reflector...So, I'm inclined to think that perhaps you may have captured the bottom part of the portal!
Thank you for sharing!

INSPIRED GHOST TRACKING MEASURED THE PORTAL - During one of our investigations, on the floor where we sensed the portal,  we placed a motion activated ball that lights up when touched. The ball lit up every 30 to 60 seconds. That was indicative of a part of the portal rotating and hitting the ball, causing it to light up. 
  I tell people to think of a portal like a hurricane on it's side, rotating. The opening or "eye" of the portal is the doorway in which ghosts cross through to another place. 


Join the Ghosts of Belmont -Inspired Ghost Tracking Facebook page 

WHAT IS A PORTAL?  A portal is a doorway or energy used by earthbound ghosts or spirits to transport them from one place to another.   

Supernatural Magazine published an article about portals recently. 
Here's their take on portals:  

Some psychics believe that on average most homes contain at least one of these portals. In technical terms a spirit portal is a region of space that has a 4 dimensional vibratory frequency, where this region of 3 dimensional physical plane and the 4 dimensional etheric plane merge into each other through the aid of an energy vortex. In simple terms a spirit portal is a doorway in the physical world that allows free access to and from the spirit world. 

The existence of a portal can rely on a vortex of energy to sustain it. This is an area of mass energy in a high concentration, usually originating from magnetic, spiritual or sometimes unknown sources that create powerful eddies that manifest a spiral of energy which can be positive or negative in nature. Vortexes tend to exist where there are strong concentrations of gravitational anomalies this in turn creates an area that can bend light and cause a considerable distortion in the human energy field. They have also been shown to be associated with ley lines and have been found to be considerably stronger at node points where several ley lines cross.   

Portals and vortexes exist more abundantly than we are aware of. We rarely see them with the naked eye but we can measure their effects with scientific and divination tools such as digital thermometers and pendulums. We can also feel or sense their effects by the energy vibrations, direction of flow and the subsequent entities that use them.

A Dog's Spirit Leads Mom to a Talk

Yesterday I gave a talk about pets and the afterlife and mentioned how our pets in spirit can influence
to do things that are good for us, or go places to hear certain things that remind someone of their pet. That's exactly what happened when I gave my talk at the Tysons-Pimmitt Library in Falls Church, Virginia.
   At the end of the talk one of the people in the audience told me that she didn't realize why she had come until I was talking. She said her dog "Bonnie" (different name) passed 11 years ago, and she wasn't thinking of her dog when she saw the lecture. She said she was inspired to come and listen.
She told me that she was hit with the realization that November 4th would have been Bonnie's birthday!  (remember, birthdays, anniversaries and holidays are times spirit show themselves). -
  I told her that Bonnie inspired her to come and hear my "Pets and the Afterlife" talk so she would know that Bonnie is still very much around her, even 11 years after Bonnie passed.

Q&A About Urns and Ashes


Today's blog is a question and answer session from emails that I've received about ashes and urns.

Q: When my Aunt spread my grandfather ashes, 3 minutes later I notice white smoke coming from the ground that was a foot away from the spreading of the ashes...... Could that have be his spirit???

A:  It could be a number of things. 1) moisture on the ground scattered as a result of dropping something on it 2) dust stirred up from dropping something on it. 3) OR it could have been your grandfather's spirit coming back to visit to thank her for scattering his ashes as he requested.

Q: My mother's dog is afraid of my father's urn but I don't know why.
 
A: From time to time, your father's spirit may visit, as spirits often do. Usually around birthdays, anniversaries and holidays, so that could be part of the issue. If there is anything shiny on the urn, like a silver or gold, that tends to frighten dogs.

Q: Mom died six weeks ago, and we had her cremated. We have her urn in the living room. We haven't sensed her presence yet, but I'm trying to keep an open mind about it. If she is inclined to visit, but Dad and I move to another house, would she be able to find us if we put the urn in the new house? Or would she only be able to look for us in the house she'd lived in?
 
A:  Yes she can find you wherever you go, since she's crossed over. . Your mom's energy is connected to you so she'll find you. Only earth-bound ghosts are fixed to a location  - your mom is a spirit and has crossed over!
