Get tickets now for Medium Barb Mallon's Holiday Evening of Messages from Spirit



A Holiday Evening of Messages from Spirit
with Special Guest, Tim Boyd
When:  Saturday, December 7, 2013
Time:   6:00 - 9:30pm
Where: Chantilly, Virginia
Fee:     $60/pp or $50/pp with a donation

Do you have family in town for the holidays?  Looking for something unique to do?

Join psychic medium Barb Mallon for a very special evening of inspiration, validations, and messages from loved ones on the other side!   

This event will also benefit a local animal rescue group ( FOHA - Friends of Homeless Animals).  Bring a bag of pet food, warm blankets, beds, treats, etc., and get $10 off your admittance fee!  Per-person donations will be taken at the check-in table.  Cash donations are also accepted.  *See the list of needed items at this link HERE.  Also, be sure to register accordingly when checking out!   

This event is much like Barb's larger mediumship events; however, instead of a larger audience of 75 or more, only 50 seats will be available.  She will also be joined by Certified Tarot Consultant, Tim Boyd  who will be giving mini tarot readings during the event as well!  This gives participants a better chance of having their own special reading throughout the evening.    


 Rob Gutro, author and budding medium, will start with a introduction and small talk to start the evening!  Medium Barb Mallon will then take over and relay messages from the other side to those members of the audience she's pulled to. Barb strives to get to as many members of the audience that she can get to* during this event; however, keep in mind that those spirit people with the most dominant energy are the ones who will be able to come through. While she will do her best to keep the readings equal lengths, some spirit people have more to say than others. Some readings may be 5 minutes, while others may be a bit longer.   She will then introduce Certified Tarot Consultant, Tim Boyd who will give mini tarot readings to as many audience participants as he can get to (numbered tickets will be given out at check in). The entire event lasts approximately 3 hours.  


During the event, we will be holding a raffle with all proceeds going to FOHA 
 
Raffle items include:
  • A 30 minute telephone or in person session gift certificate with Barb Mallon
  • Three pieces of Barb's hand-crafted sterling silver jewelry

Q&A About Ghosts and Spirits: Part 3

I received a number of questions via email, twitter and facebook concerning ghosts and spirits, and have decided to publish the answers to help anyone with the same questions. You can find more info in either of my books "Ghosts and Spirits Insights from a Medium" and "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead" by Rob Gutro




  • Can a spirit reach you or does it reach you in different ways, later, when a long time has passed after they die?
  • ANSWER: A spirit can reach you any way at any time. However, they run into the block of grief we deal with when they first pass. They can't penetrate our grief. Often, after time passes, spirits can start getting through to us.




  • How can some people believe in things like "Heaven" and angels, etc., and yet still believe in "ghosts" and "hauntings"?
  • ANSWER: Because it's all about energy. Energy cannot be destroyed, only transformed. Our physical energies mesh with our consciousness /personalities and memories to become a "spirit" that crosses or an Earth bound ghost. Heaven is "place" where the energies run through the universe. Hell is being an energy that is Earth-bound. Angels are a higher level of energy - a more pure "soul" if you will.
    The issue here is that every religion has it's own take on "heaven/Vahalla/perfection" whatever you want to call it. - religions provide ideas of the afterlife for people to have some concept of what happens.

    Annapolis Ghostly Encounters and a Confirmation!

    This is the second part of the ghostly encounters I  had walking through Annapolis, Md. recently. When I got home, I began searching for an image and what I found was astounding and was a confirmation.

    Harriet Ridgely
     FEMALE GHOST ON MAIN STREET- When we were walking down the main street, we neared a bank in the middle of the street between the State House and the docks. That's when I sensed and "saw" a woman walking by me on the sidewalk with a bonnet and a gray-colored dress. I knew she lived around the time of the early 1800s as she walked past me.
    CONFIRMATION: When I was writing this blog to try and figure out who it was, she apparently helped me. Here's why: I put in the Google search engine: "1800s woman annapolis, md."
      The first page of Google brought up about 30 photos, paintings and drawings under "IMAGES." I searched through them looking for the best likeness of the ghostly woman I saw. Most of them were too matronly looking, and were paintings of rich women posing on chairs. That's when I came to one that looked very much like the ghostly woman I saw!
       Here's the Proof: when I went to save the image, it took me to the page where it resided, and HERE IS THE DESCRIPTION FOR THE PHOTO: "Harriet Callahan, ( her married name is Mrs. John Ridgely) of the Hammond Harwood House, Annapolis, Maryland. [Painting by] 1790 James Peale (1749-1831).
         
       The Hammond Harwood House is very close to where we were walking. This ghost was "Harriet Callahan (Ridgely)!" This is how ghosts and spirits work. They provide the clues to identify themselves and you have to put it together. This one was pretty amazing to me, because I didn't think I'd ever figure out who she was. Wow.
    Hammond Harwood House Sign
      THE HAMMOND HARWOOD HOUSE - Hammond-Harwood House is located on the corner of Maryland Ave.at King George Street, Annapolis, Maryland 21401. This brick mansion was designed by architect William Buckland for Mathias Hammond, a lawyer and planter. The 18th century house is now a museum. Buckland died in December of 1774, but the construction went on for several more years. Oddly, Hammond never lived in the house.




    THE SECOND GHOST- The next ghost walking the streets of Annapolis that I bumped into right after Harriet was a lot more difficult to pinpoint, because it was an Admiral in the U.S. Navy in the 1950s, around 1952. He was in full white-dress summer uniform and was wearing a hat when he "walked" past me.  Of course, the Naval Academy in right there in Annapolis so it makes perfect sense that a dedicated Admiral would be staying around as an Earth-bound ghost.

    A Mother's and Grandmother's Messages at the Baltimore Book Festival

    While at the Baltimore Book Festival on Sept. 29, in addition to hearing people's ghost stories and stories of loved ones coming back, I also received a number of messages for the people who stopped by the table.  It was difficult to tune into ghosts and spirits during the festival, though, because of all the noise (there was a band playing not to far away, and it was very loud, and played all day). Getting messages requires concentration. I did, however, manage to get a powerful message from a mother who passed, that help comfort her grieving daughter.
    Rob discusses his book "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead"

     A MOTHER'S MESSAGE OF PEACE - One of the most emotional messages was from a mother to her grown daughter, whom I'll call "Sue." Sue stopped by the table and looked at the books. I sensed an older woman around Sue and asked if it was her grandmother that passed. She said that the older woman is her mother (as I said, sometimes it's difficult to tune in with music blaring). I told her that I sensed guilt around her and she nodded. I asked if her mother was in a managed care facility, because that's what I was shown (which I thought odd for a younger woman's mother to be in managed care unless she was critically ill). Sue said "yes, she was in a managed care facility."
       Sue confirmed that she did visit her mother often but she did harbor guilt. That's when her mother's spirit told me that the guilt is because Sue wasn't there when she passed away.  I asked Sue if she was there, and she said "no." I told her that her mom said that no one was in the room when she passed, and she wanted it that way. She passed on her own because she didn't think that Sue or her sister could handle the emotional trauma of watching their mother pass.
       Sue understood what I was saying and we were both dealing with tear-filled eyes. She thanked me for the message and said that now she understands why her mother passed without anyone around.
       That was a really powerful!!

    My friend I.R. Harris, author,  meets Jen from BGL newspaper
    VIKASH'S GRANDMOTHER - A young man from India named Vikash stopped by to ask questions. He asked about how our loved ones cross over and give messages. He said that he was close to his grandmother - and she came through. Oftentimes, spirits will fill me with emotion, and with two others I met it would be overwhelming. With Vikash, his grandmother showed me that he was protected by her. It sounds odd, but he was radiating love and positive energy. His grandmother instructed me to give him a hug and let him know that she's around. That was a really cool, but short reading.

    A Son's Amazing Message During the Baltimore Book Festival

    My appearance at the Baltimore Book Festival on Sept. 29, 2013  brought some amazing messages. The three messages I passed on were pretty powerful. This one really stood out for me.


    Rob talks with a visitor who had questions about spirits
    A SON'S  MESSAGE - The third message I received while selling books at the Baltimore Book Festival was from a son to his mother.  A woman stopped by my table and just kept looking down at the books. I knew she was brought there for a reason, and the reason was standing behind me when I developed my "spirit-indicating" headache that tells me when a ghost or spirit is around.
      I sensed there was a male spirit behind me, but I didn't yet identify who it was when the woman asked me about where people who are murdered go after they die (which is a chapter in my "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead" book). I knew that the male figure behind me was the reason she was there, and had to be connected to the murder.
    Rob signing at the Baltimore Book Festival
      She told me that her son was murdered, so now I knew who the male spirit was beside me. I came around the front of the table and let her son tell me what his mother needed to hear. He said that he knew that he was in the wrong place and that it was his time to pass. He said he knows how horrendous this has been for his mom in her grief, but his passing had to happen to teach some others who were around him, a valuable lesson about life.
      He told me that he does come around his mom from time to time, and he is fine on the other side. One critical thing he told me was that just before he died his spirit left his body and his pain was blacked out. He doesn't remember experiencing pain on the other side, and his death was apparently very quick here. His mother looked at me with tears in her eyes, said thank you and had to walk away to compose herself.
      Of course, I had to walk back behind the book table and sit down to compose myself, too. Not only was I overcome with emotion, but it physically and mentally wiped me out to channel her son. At least she has some closure on her son's death.
