Can Ghosts Speak to 1 Person in a Room of Others?

One of the interesting things about ghosts (Earth bound) and Spirits (who have crossed over) is that they can speak to one person only in a crowded room.
  That's because they intend for their message to be heard for that specific person - just as we do when we're alive, we want our discussions with one person!
   Recently, a woman named Bridget was inspired to put her recorder on (from her phone) while she was at a park, trying to decide what to say at her mom's service. She said she didn't know why she hit "audio record" on her phone (Spirit influenced her)... and then she heard  a very soft whisper that says clearly “ Mom and dad “ then a second later  *very faintly) says “love you .”
     SO, if you heard something and someone next to you didn't (while you're on a paranormal investigation or just in a room with other people), it's because spirit wanted you to. That message was meant for YOU.

  It often works that way on paranormal investigations, too.

  There can be three people with digital recorders and only one picks up a voice from a ghost (or spirit).

Merry Christmas from our house to yours!

Spirits Visit on Holidays and Special Dates!

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. Just be aware of it.
- Look for pennies or other coins on the ground. Check the year, too- because it has some significance. I was out walking our dogs and found a Quarter with the year 1981 on it. That was the year my grandmother passed, so guess who dropped that coin for me? Thanks, Nana.
- One Thanksgiving, my friend Lynn's brother Michael came to me with messages for her. He told me things I had no idea about, including that they had the same eye color. SO, be vigilant and don't dismiss happenings- our loved ones DO come back during the holidays to say "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Hanukkah." Just be aware that they're around you, too, even if you Don't get see or hear any signs.
   Happy Holidays to you and your family!
Rob Gutro

QUESTION: When do spirits  come to us?
ANSWER:  When they have something to tell us. One of those times are usually around holidays, birthdays or anniversaries. Spirits maintain their memories and their personalities when they pass, so, yes, they'll remember your birthday and they'll visit on the holidays.

REPOSTING FROM PREVIOUS BLOG:  ANOTHER EXAMPLE
  In fact, recently a week before my birthday I got a wonderful surprise visit from my late Dad, to wish me a happy birthday. After my other half went to work (early), I crawled back into bed and put our three dogs on the bed (one is large). We napped for about 20 minutes, and then I heard my father's voice call my name from what sounded like the kitchen!  All three dogs immediately picked up their heads and looked up, and I responded "yes, I'm here!" (of course, I realized in a second that it was my dad, and no one else was home).
  What's cool is that all three dogs ALSO heard him! I also figured out that the reason Dad came to say hello was because my birthday was within a week. Spirits often recognize birthdays and anniversaries!

Article: Is the White House Haunted? —Here's Proof

Here's a fascinating story from Realtor.com about paranormal experiences in the White House. There have been quite a few ghosts sighted in the White House... unfortunately, it's not open for a paranormal investigation, but you can read about the ghostly sightings in this great article. 

Is the White House Haunted? 8 Presidents Say Yes—Here's Proof

By Judy Dutton | Oct 30, 2017

Library of Congress; realtor.com

One night in the 1940s, according to a well-known story, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was kicking back at the White House. He had just emerged from a hot bath to stroll into the adjoining bedroom, naked and smoking a cigar. But it turned out he had a surprise visitor, leaning against the fireplace mantel: Abraham Lincoln, or rather his ghost. Churchill didn't miss a beat. Tapping the ash off his cigar, he said, "Good evening, Mr. President. You seem to have me at a disadvantage."
Lincoln smiled, then disappeared. Churchill—who didn't rattle easily—nonetheless refused to sleep in that bedroom ever again.

In fact, according to a Washington Post interview with Jared Broach, who offers tours of haunted areas across the country—including a Washington, DC, pub crawl past the White House—“The White House has the best ghost stories, and I’d call them the most verified."
After all, as Broach points out, if the whole ghosts-in-the-White House thing was truly a bunch of malarkey, "I’d be calling about eight different presidents liars.”
Good point. So, even if you think all this spirit talk is pure smoke and mirrors, these well-documented White House ghosts below might make you think twice.

Andrew Jackson

President Jackson has been heard in the White House since the 1860s, with staffers and first families claiming to hear him stomping around, swearing, and letting loose his signature guttural laugh.

Thomas Jefferson

In the 1860s, President Jefferson was heard playing his violin in the Yellow Oval Room, prompting President Lincoln's wife, Mary Todd, to once marvel to a friend, “My, my, how that Mr. Jefferson does play that violin.”

Abigail Adams

The wife of the nation's second president, John Adams, was the first first lady to live in the White House. Abigail Adams used the East Room to dry sheets. Since her death in 1818, numerous residents and staffers claim to have seen her walking around with her arms outstretched, as if carrying clean linens. Forever doing laundry—what a harsh fate.

David Burns

In 1791, this guy sold the government most of the land on which the White House and the entire city of Washington, DC, now sits. Since then, his voice has been heard by a guard and a valet in the Oval Office, saying, “I’m Mr. Buuuuurns.”

Willie Lincoln

President Lincoln isn't the only one in his family haunting the White House. Lincoln's son Willie—who died in the White House at the age of 11, most likely from typhoid fever—was reportedly seen not only by his parents but also by staff of the Grant administration in the 1870s.

Annie Surratt

Annie SurrattWikipedia CC

In 1865, Mary Surratt was convicted of conspiring to assassinate President Lincoln, and sentenced to death. Her daughter Annie pleaded repeatedly for her mother's life—and, even after Mary was hanged and Annie was long gone, Annie's ghost reportedly continues to knock on doors throughout the White House, pleading for her mother's release.

Abraham Lincoln

But back to the most famous White House ghost: Lincoln, who's also known as "the White House Ghost" and has been spotted by the likes of President Theodore Roosevelt and first lady Grace Coolidge. Most famously, Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, who was sleeping in the Lincoln Bedroom, heard a knock and opened the door to see him standing there in a top hat and coat. She immediately fainted.

And in case you're thinking all these spiritual sightings are ancient history, there's some evidence that Lincoln's ghost was still kicking around as recently as the Reagan administration: White House curator Rex Scouten recalls how Ronald Reagan's dog would enter any room in the White House except the Lincoln Bedroom.

“He’d just stand outside the door and bark,” Scouten told the Washington Post.
Weird, huh?

So what might these White House ghosts want? In Lincoln's case at least, Broach explains one popular theory: “They say Lincoln always comes back whenever he feels the country is in need or in peril."

Now we're just wondering: Has anyone seen Lincoln's ghost of late?

Q&A: Is it Okay to Distribute Ashes in 2 or more places?

Here's a question I received recently about ashes. 

 

QUESTION:  My Dad recently passed away Aug 5th 2018.. My sister and I want to keep some of his ashes and spread the rest in the ocean where he loved to be. Will our Dad be at peace if we keep some of his ashes? Can they be separated?

ANSWER: Yes, the ashes can be separated. They really are just remnants of your dad- and your dad's spirit is alive and well. Often people in their wills ask for their ashes to be spread in different places they liked. In spirit, it really doesn't matter to them where the ashes go- because their spirit will be around you.

In the News: Weird Suffolk, U.K.: “The Great Troubler” of Walberswick

My latest book is called "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation" (by Rob Gutro) and conveys
all of the ghosts I met as I traveled throughout England. There are a LOT more ghosts in England that I  did not (yet) meet, and this story from the East Anglian Daily Times provides an interesting story about a ghost in Suffolk, U.K. - Rob
 

Weird Suffolk, U.K.: “The Great Troubler” of Walberswick

PUBLISHED: 16:30 30 November 2018

Stacia Briggs and Siofra Connor

WEIRD SUFFOLK: Lodge Road, Walberswick Picture: SARAH LUCY BROWN

 

Many claim that Walberswick is the most haunted village in not only Suffolk, but England – even author George Orwell had his own tale to tell about this coastal corner of the county when he spied a spectre in the churchyard.

But today’s story doesn’t involve ghosts in the churchyard or Black Shuck the devil dog, or even the famous Walberswick Whistle which haunts the very air of the village: today we tell the tale of John Brooke, better known to those who knew him as The Great Troubler.

Close to the outskirts of the village is Westwood Lodge, a building which dates back to the 16th century on a site which has been used as a dwelling site for a further two centuries. In 1391, the Manor of Westwood belonged to the Duke of Suffolk, Michael de la Pole and since then it has welcomed many other families, including the Hoptons, the Blois and the Brookes, who lived in the manor in the early 1600s.
John Brooke was a wild, difficult man who could not stop himself from meddling in local affairs, including enclosing the common land near the manor house. Additionally, he was a tyrannical master who treated those in his employ with bitter cruelty, including his faithful horse.

No one was distraught, therefore, when in 1652, aged just 26, Brooke The Great Troubler, met his maker.

He had set off to Blythburgh to pass judgement on some unfortunates in court when he experienced a sharp pain – but, unwilling to delay his journey and keen to continue to court, he carried on his journey: “I’ll get to Blythburgh or die trying!” he exclaimed.
And indeed, John Brooke did die trying.

His young widow Jane married Sir William Blois and Westwood Manor remained in the possession of the Blois family until fairly recent times – it was, some believed, a decision which infuriated an already angry man from beyond the grave.

John Brooke’s spirit was said to ride furiously up and down the corridors of the manor house, creating such terror that the inner room to the master bedroom, which is where the hauntings were said to begin, was bricked up.

In 1865, when alterations to the manor led to it being opened up, it was said that workmen found just two objects: a saddle and a whip, both of which were burned with great ceremony and to great effect: the hauntings ended.

The East Anglian Magazine in 1961 also recalled a tale of ghostly footsteps and the spectral figure of a woman in a silk dress in the, both of which were reported by a Mrs Browne, the wife of a farmer living at the lodge, who reported hearing the ghostly pacing in the oldest part of the house at night, but said they were even more pronounced at noon.

A gardener at Westwood Lodge also told a similar tale: “We see’d a woman with a silk dress on, that’s what we see’d. My mother see’d it often. We lived over the dairy, me mother an’ me, and she see’d the ghost come out of Mrs. Cooper’s study…” (a tenant farmer named Cooper is listed in Whites Directory of Suffolk, 1844).”

In October, 1972, three policemen held an all-night vigil on the premises, having been told that “a lady in a long silver dress” had been seen numerous times over six decades, both in the grounds and on the track outside.

According to the policemen, at 1.20am, a length of cotton which had been taped across the entrance hall was found to have been dislodged and dull thuds were heard deep inside the house before a sudden drop in temperature and a feeling of electricity in the air. Although the men reported feeling as if they were being watched, they saw nothing, despite hearing several more dull thuds. They left at 4am.

In a follow-up letter in The Lantern, Robert Collins said he had been at the investigation with the policeman, which had been recorded: “Regarding the reported tape-recording, I heard this the following day and was present when P.C. Lincoln made it,” he wrote.

“Unfortunately there were some rather obscene words as P.C. Evans fell over and the noises occurred as these took place, hence the reluctance to publicise it. P.C. Evans and I went along to the lodge, to be very truthful, for the fun of it, but I don’t mind telling you it was one of the most terrifying experiences I’ve ever had in my life!”
