Psychic Source.com Q&A w/ Rob About Ghosts, Spirits, and Science Behind Them

Recently, Psychic Source.com did a question and answer session with me about my experiences with ghosts, spirits, pets and people. We also talked aboiut the science of energy, and the difference between a ghost and a spirit. Here's the interview:

Psychic Source.com: An Interview with  Rob Gutro 

Rob Gutro, author 7 paranormal books is not your typical medium. He's a meteorologist who's decided to use his psychic abilities to help comfort those grieving from the loss of a pet.

Just published in March 2020
Q:  When did you first realize you could communicate with the other side and what was that experience like? 
A:   The experience was startling. I was 13 years old and saw my grandfather materialize. I was home alone, sitting at the kitchen table drawing, when I saw lights out of the corner of my eye. I looked up and two rooms away in the living room, the lights came together and formed my grandfather in full color. I grabbed the family dog and ran outside where I sat on the stairs for an hour until my parents came home from shopping. My mother wasn’t surprised at all—she had the gift, too. It turned out that my grandfather appeared during the month of his birthday, which is a common time for spirits to communicate.

Q: Why do only some pets come through or send signs while other don’t? 
Q: What would you tell someone who is desperately trying to reach their pet on the other side to no avail? 
A:  Pets, like people, only come through when they have something to tell us. People and pets usually return around the times of birthdays, anniversaries or holidays. They all give us signs—we just miss them—so I wrote the books to educate people on how to see them!

 Grief blocks out signs. When we’re desperate to see something, we tend to dismiss things for something more "concrete." Spirits and ghosts use subtle signs because it takes a lot of energy for them to communicate. If people are sick with grief, that's when they should rely on a medium. They should also take comfort in knowing spirits come around from time to time, they're not always with us. They don't belong here because they're beings of energy. Your book goes into detail about what a pet’s ashes can do.
Rob's books available on Amazon.com

Q: Could you explain this briefly? 
A:  Sure. In Pets and the Afterlife, I explain that ashes can act as somewhat of a draw to help bring pets (and people) to you. The physical remains, even ashes, hold residual energy. It's all a good thing because the love we share with them is a positive emotional energy and helps them "power up" to give us signs from time to time.

 I will caution that if a relative you weren’t fond of passed and you have their ashes, you may want to bury them! People who were not nice in life are often not the nicest on the other side, although they do usually learn their lessons there and improve.

Q: What’s the difference between spirits and ghosts? 
A: This is my favorite question. The words are often used to mean the same thing but they're really not. When we pass, the physical energies that run through our bodies couple with our memories and personalities as an entity of energy. Then we make a conscious choice to stay here on Earth as a ghost, or cross over and join the energies of the universe/Heaven/Valhalla/Paradise (whatever you want to call it) as a spirit. Both use the same physical energies to manifest or give signs: heat, light, water, electricity.
  Ghosts draw on negative emotional energy—fear, anxiety, depression, and anger—which doesn't mean a ghost is a bad personality; it's all about location.
  Spirits draw on positive emotional energy—love, faith and hope—to "power up" and communicate.

Q: Rob is a member of Inspired Ghost Tracking It’s very interesting that you’re both a meteorologist and a medium. In your bio, it says that you “provide scientific and logical explanations about spirit communications.” 
Can you give us an example of how this applies? 

A:  You don't have to be a religious person to know there's an afterlife; all you need is science. The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be destroyed, only transformed. Think of how scientists measure the thoughts in our brains with little electrical impulses. Think of the energy of the blood pumping in our bodies.

Rob Gutro
Q: Where does the energy go after our bodies give out?
A:  It couples with our memories and personalities to become a ghost or spirit. As energy, spirits and ghosts can manipulate electricity. We detect them with scientific equipment like electromagnetic field detectors, digital recorders, infrared cameras, and digital thermometers.

As energy, they draw energy even from the fast moving molecules of air (warm air) and take the kinetic energy (motion) to slow down those molecules (slower moving molecules of air are colder; that's why we feel "cold spots" whenever there's a ghost or spirit around).

Further, we use digital recorders to pick up spirit voices that are at a higher frequency—a frequency that dogs and cats can hear. I think it's a matter of time until science actually catches up to the paranormal and proves that it's "normal" for us to become entities of energy after we pass from the physical.
Rob's dog Sprite

Q:  What’s one of the most memorable moments you’ve had or felt while connecting with one of your dogs in the afterlife?

A: After my late dachshund Sprite passed in 2013, he sent us a butterfly. Spirits have the ability to manipulate and influence things in nature, like birds, butterflies, feathers, flowers, etc. All summer long, we hadn't seen a butterfly in our backyard, despite having two butterfly bushes. However, after Sprite's passing when we let our other three dogs out in the backyard, a large yellow and black butterfly flew around them for quite a long time and they didn't chase after it (usually they would). The butterfly landed on the grass near them and sat (I took several close up photos of it). The dogs walked around it, as if they were walking around Sprite. We knew Sprite sent the butterfly.

 When I wrote about it later on my personal blog, two friends in different states got a visit from Sprite as they read about his butterfly on their IPads while sitting outside. As they were reading, a yellow and black butterfly landed on them—in Maryland on my friend Jill's stomach, and in New Mexico on my friend Layla's shoulder. They contacted me immediately and told me Sprite's spirit had just visited them and acknowledged that they were reading about him.

Q: What advice would you give someone who can’t seem to grapple with the loss of a pet or find closure? 
A:  Know that they are around you. Close your eyes and know that the love we share binds us together forever. Love is an amazing energy and energy can't be destroyed. Keep your mind open, too. Don't discount anything that may be a sign because there's no such thing as a coincidence when it comes to spirit.

 Pets, like people who pass, don't want us to be stuck in grief. Although grieving is a natural part of experiencing physical loss, it should not cripple you and prevent you from enjoying life and love. Our late pets (and people) want us to be happy, to live our lives and to help other pets who don't have homes or the love that our late pets enjoyed.

One of the best ways to pay tribute to a pet that passed is to adopt or foster another and give that pet a chance to experience love (and not waste the love you have to give).

Please Review "Case Files of Inspired Ghost Tracking" on Amazon

Although I just published my new book "Case Files of Inspired Ghost Tracking" on March 31, if
you've had a chance to read it, please post a review on Amazon.  One person who already read it told me that she felt as if she were along on the investigations. That's the highest compliment I could receive!
 
    I'm a medium on the team, and worked with founder Margaret Ehrlich and other team members to bring these haunting cases to the world. The book is available on Amazon.com in paperback ($9.99) and Ebook ($3.99). TO ORDER Click here 

 Here's what the book is about 

Release: Shocking and True Ghostly Encounters in New Book, "Case Files of Inspired Ghost Tracking"

A new book called "Case Files of Inspired Ghost Tracking," by best-selling paranormal author Rob Gutro takes readers on paranormal investigations into private and historic homes where ghosts were traumatizing families. Rob, a medium in the Inspired Ghost Tracking paranormal group, announced the release of his seventh paranormal book that brings readers along on investigations and reveals some bizarre and shocking things the group found and how they helped the ghosts and families.     

"When earthbound ghosts have traumatized families in their own homes, Inspired Ghost Tracking (IGT) of Maryland has gone in to cross them over," Gutro said. "Every case is different, too. Some have had earthbound ghosts that were friendly, others were not. IGT experienced a lot of bad energies that caused people to become physically sick or mentally traumatized. IGT investigators had to figure who, what, when and why things were happening, to finally bring peace to the living and the dead."  

In this collection of IGT cases, you’ll read about the "Burned Ghost," ghosts of two different time periods in one home, dark things that Ouija boards brought into homes, a very haunted Maryland mansion, many ghosts of Baltimore’s Federal Hill, a ghostly attachment, a Steelworker’s ghost, poltergeist activity, the famous IGT “Double Murder Ghost Investigation” and many more.

You'll find answers to questions like why ghosts choose to stay in a place, the differences and similarities between ghosts and spirits, why energy is the key to the paranormal and much more.

Although Rob has become known as a "Pet Medium" through the success of his best-selling books "Pets and the Afterlife" and "Pets and the Afterlife 2," he also connects with human earthbound ghosts and spirits.

Gutro is the first in the paranormal field to make the distinction between earthbound ghosts and spirits who have crossed over. Rob has three books about his experience with human ghosts and spirits, called "Ghosts and Spirits," "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead," and "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation," and most recently, "Kindred Spirits: How a Medium Befriended a Spirit."   


Rob Gutro has been featured in the Washington Post and nationally syndicated radio programs like "Coast to Coast AM." Rob is a volunteer with Dachshund and Weimaraner rescues and gives fundraising lectures for animal rescues around the U.S., teaching grieving pet parents how pets communicate from the afterlife.

ABOUT ROB GUTRO:

Rob Gutro is an author, paranormal investigator and medium with Inspired Ghost Tracking of Maryland. He's become known as a pet medium, although he communicate with pets and people who have passed. Since he was a child he could receive messages from ghosts or spirits (who have crossed over). He wrote the books "Pets and the Afterlife," "Pets and the Afterlife 2," "Ghosts and Spirits," "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead" to teach others how ghosts and Spirits communicate with the living and to give proof of the afterlife. Rob also wrote about the ghosts he met on vacation in "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation," and his latest book "Kindred Spirits: How a Medium Befriended a Spirit." As a scientist, he also provides some scientific explanations about how energy is the baseline for the afterlife and the medium that entities use to communicate.

Paranormal Q&A: Can Spirits Send Scents as a Sign of their Presence?

In today's Q and A you'll read about a spirit who sent a sweet smell. Spirits have the ability to  convey scents to let us know they're around. It could be a floral scent, perfume, baked goods, or anything you would connect to them.

Q: Hi, my husband was only 47 and he just passed away in October. I decided to cremated him but I Don't know if he wanted that..I have his ashes at home in our room where he passed, but I only got a strong sweet incense type smell a couple days after he died. I didn't got any more signs,and I don't know if he is very disappointed on me because I'm being in some how peaceful state that I don't understand. ..I want the best for him, and I don't know if keeping him at home is maybe bother him. I also felt signs in my home before he passed and I thought there was another energy in the house..Please help protect my husband. What is the best for him to be truly free and in peace. I LOVE HIM 

A:  The sweet smell you encountered was your husband's approval of having him cremated. He's well in the afterlife, and around you, protecting you and keeping you safe. Spirits can generate a scent to let us know they're around or if they approve or disprove of something we've done. Since it was a sweet smell, it's a sign of approval and love.

Paranormal Q&A: Can Mediums Connect Far Back to an Ancient Ancestor?

As a medium, I love questions about the afterlife, and try to share the knowledge of what I have learned. This week's Q&A is about whether mediums can contact ancient ancestors. 

Question #1:   Are there legitimate mediums who CAN connect with people or spirits who go that far back into a person's history?  

Answer:  Mediums can only go back a generation or two. Why? Because once everyone has passed that someone knows in the physical world, then they reincarnate!  So, they're living a new life and their previous life has been suppressed. Because their soul becomes that of another living person, there's no way for a medium to reach them. 

Question #2  What about connecting to  family that would love you if you had known them?  

Answer: That can certainly be done if the family member is not from several generations back (and has reincarnated). I know that the grandmother I never met in life has come to me.

Who is Rob Gutro, Author/Medium?

Whenever I do an interview, people ask me, "Who is Rob Gutro, and why have you written 7 books?  Well, here's the answer.

   I write books about my experiences with the paranormal and explain them using the science of energy (I'm a meteorologist in my career).  My books also teach others how to see signs from people and pets who have passed. (Once you read them you won't need to pay a medium).I  have the gift of mediumship, but don't make a living from it (so I don't make appts). If I get messages, I give them to people for no charge. I want to bring healing to people!   
   I have made the distinction between a Ghost and Spirit and why it's Important to kn ow, and how they all use energies (physical and emotional) to convey messages. 
   I've had the ability since I was a teenager, when my grandfather appeared to me 6 months after he passed. Since I fell in love, the ability has really grown and I've been able to sense and communicate with ghosts and spirits. I also sketch out what a ghost or spirit looks like and have connected with many people and dogs and cats!   One of my big focuses is on PETS. I had a dog that was tragically killed as a puppy and who became the world's best canine communicator. He opened the door for other dogs and cats to give messages for others that I've proved over and over.

A Look at the Types of Ghosts in Malaysia

Malaysia - Image credit: www.saomaitours.com
Every culture around the world has ghost stories. In today's blog, thanks to Atlasboscura.org, we'll
explore the ghosts of Malaysia!

WHERE IS MALAYSIA? Malaysia is a Southeast Asian country occupying parts of the Malay Peninsula and the island of Borneo in the Northwestern Pacific Ocean. It's known for its beaches, rainforests and mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian and European cultural influences. The capital, Kuala Lumpur, is home to colonial buildings, busy shopping districts such as Bukit Bintang and skyscrapers.  Malaysia is separated into two main landmasses: Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia (or Malaysian Borneo). The capital city is Kuala Lumpur and the government is seated in Putrajaya, both in the southern half of Peninsular Malaysia.

WHAT KINDS OF GHOSTS ARE THERE? Hantu is the general term for all ghosts, spirits, and otherworldly beings in Malaysia and among the Malay people of maritime Southeast Asia and its diaspora. There are hundreds, probably thousands, of them, ranging from natural spirits (representations of individual rivers, trees, and lakes) to vampire-type ghosts to leprechaun-like tricksters. Some are good, some are bad, some are to be avoided, and some are like partners to the living. And they coexist with wide range of religions observed by the very diverse people of Malaysia.
Malaysian Ghosts  - Source: Vebma and Ghosts in Asia

WHAT IS THE PONTIANAK GHOST? The pontianak is a kind of vampire-ghost. It emerges upon the death of a woman during pregnancy or childbirth. She has the shape, usually, of a demonic woman capable of flight, who targets the blood of young children. (Alternatively, the pontianak may prey on men; these stories vary by region and teller.) 

WHAT IS A HANTU TETEK GHOST? The hantu tetek, a ghost with pendulous breasts who likes to kidnap children just to play with them for awhile. She is used to explain why sometimes a child is found, unharmed, in a weird place, like deep in a bush or up a tree. 

WHAT IS A TOYOL GHOST? A toyol is usually described as looking like a naked baby, though sometimes as more of a gremlin-baby. What's really weird: You can buy one. Typically one purchases a toyol from a bomoh, or medium. It wouldn’t quite be described as a purchase, since you’d be paying the bomoh for connecting you with a toyol and the spirit itself would be free. Toyol are childlike: mischievous, a little clumsy, a little needy, easily distracted. But they are known as excellent thieves. You can have your toyol go out and steal for you, though Nicholas says it’s sometimes believed that a toyol will only steal up to the dollar amount you paid for it. 

WHAT IS THE HANTU POLONG? The hantu polong, is a sort of attack ghost used to inflict harm. It must be fed with blood from one’s fingers. 

SEVERAL OTHER GHOSTS - The hantu buta causes blindness, hantu cika causes colic, hantu kembung is behind stomach aches. Some are more innocuous: Hantu apu is a party ghost, and so is hantu jamuan, though if it is not invited, it will wreck the festivities. Hantu lembong is a spirit of swollen growths on trees.

Q&A with Rob Gutro: Is there a "Pets and the Afterlife 3" Coming? What Are you Working on Now?

Peppers will be in Pets 3
I've received several emails asking if there is a "Pets and the Afterlife 3" in the works and what it will be about, if it will differ from the others. Here are my answers!

WILL THERE BE ANOTHER "PETS AND THE AFTERLIFE" BOOK SOON?  YES!!! In fact, I'm planning a Pets 3 and 4.

WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON NOW?  At the end of March, I just released my 7th Book called "Case Files of inspired Ghost Tracking, " and am busy promoting it and my previous book "Kindred Spirits: How a Medium Befriended a Spirit."  That's what I'll be doing for the rest of the year, in addition to working on the next Pets book.

WHEN WILL PETS 3 BE READY? The next book will be about pets and the afterlife 3, focusing on dogs and coping with grief. I am going to try and get that finished by the end of this year so January 2021 would be my target date.

THERE'S ANOTHER AFTER THAT?  Yes. following "Pets and the Afterlife 3: Dogs"  will be "Pets and the Afterlife 4," about signs from spirit cats. I know it seems like a long way off but it takes a long time to put these books together and ensure they are good!
Nizi the Dachshund will be in Pets 3
HOW WILL THESE BOOKS DIFFER FROM THE FIRST TWO? 
Like the first two "Pets and the Afterlife" books, these will contain experiences that people have had with the spirits of their pets communicating from the afterlife and proven messages I have received from pet spirits. What's different is that these will ALSO contain a chapter on how to cope with your grief, written by a professional. I am working with a medical psychologist for a specific chapter on how to deal with grief.
   Although understanding signs from your pets in spirit should help ease your grief, a chapter providing additional counseling will also help!

FINAL THOUGHTS
 I know it has been awhile. There are a lot of projects keeping me busy in addition to my full time job as a meteorologist! Hope you are safe and healthy!

A Hair-raising Sign from my Friend Jane's Spirit

Jane
 Yesterday I published a blog about my friend Jane who passed on Friday, April 10 from complications connected to COVID19. She was 93, and she was my mom's best friend, but she also became my friend. The news was devastating to me as I had known Jane over my entire life. However, less than 12 hours later, she gave me a sign she was okay on the other side. Here's what happened.

In Friday night at about 6:45 p.m., I learned about her passing just 15 minutes before I did a facebook live event. One of Jane's daughters messaged me through Jane's facebook messenger and let me know (Yes, Jane at 93 had a facebook page - she was always very hip). I had 15 minutes to collect myself before the facebook live event began with my friend Brian, manager of the paranormal group called "The Ghost Pit." Brian had arranged for he and I to give an dog rescue fundraising lecture about how pets communicate from the afterlife. Although it was supposed to be in a venue in Pennsylvania, because of the brutal COVID19 outbreak, we were in our respective homes at our computers for the video event. I mentioned Jane's passing to Brian just before the show, and tried to focus on the topic. The show went well and made some money for the pitbull rescue.

After it was over, I took my empty dish (I always have 2 cookies for dessert at night) and cup (for herbal tea) and brought them to the kitchen. I usually wash them but for some reason I put them in the sink (unusual for me). The next morning, the sink would be the site of Jane's sign to me.
The long hair Jane left of the dish

In the morning when I came back into the kitchen to make breakfast for Tom and I and our dogs, I went over to the sink. On the dish that I had put there less than 8 hours before was a long strand of reddish brown hair, obviously from a woman, laying lightly on the dish. I immediately sensed Jane was there. (Jane had the color hair before she went grey).

Of course, my husband Tom came in the kitchen and I told him about it. We tried to understand how that happened. He said, "That's weird." It was. First, we are two men and have 4 very short-haired dogs. Second, we've been home bound like everyone else for the last 6 weeks. Third, it has been more than 2 or 3 months that a woman was in our home. Fourth, I put the dish in the sink myself the night before and we weren't awake overnight, and again, there isn't a woman in the house.

I knew it was Jane's hair. I knew it was her sign to me that she was okay in spirit. Now that I think about it, I recall hearing, "I'm fine, I'm fine." She told me to convey this to her daughter and family. She also said she is very much around them in spirit. She sends her love and thanks to her family She said there are 2 Phillip's there (one I know is her late husband).

So, spirits can give us all kinds of signs from the other side to let us know they're around and they are okay. Finding a strand of hair from someone in spirit is a first for me. I'm just very happy to hear from Jane.

In Memory of My Friend Jane

   This has been a tough month for many people, myself included. Last week, Charlie, my friend of 23 years passed from a battle with cancer. This past weekend, I learned that my friend Jane passed away.
  Jane has known me since I was born, and that's because she was my mom's best friend. Jane was 93 when she passed on Friday, April 10. She was living in a nursing home in Massachusetts, and contracted the COVID19 virus.
   I have 50 plus years of wonderful memories of my mom's time spent with Jane, and the many conversations they had. Jane always made everyone smile. She has a beautiful family or grown children, and grandchildren. Jane's husband Phillip passed in 2004, and I also remember him fondly.
   Often, when I was in my teens and 20s and lived at home with my parents, if Jane called, I would always talk with her for a little while before I called my mom to the phone. Jane always made you feel cared for, and she left that impression on me even as a kid. As I grew older, I would mail her my paper newsletters, and finally emailed her my daily blogs.
    When my dad passed in 2008, Jane, wheelchair bound then, made it a point to be at the services for my mom and our family. My mom used to drive to visit Jane and would tell me of their great conversations.
   Jane's calm demeanor, and patience beyond the understanding of any human would often calm my (emotional) mother down. Only Jane had that ability. I sometimes talked with Jane on the phone about my mom's crazy behavior when dementia had began to affect my mother. Jane was a calming voice.
   It's hard to write this without having tears in my eyes. I've known Jane my entire life.She was like an aunt to me, and always offered a calm voice. I can hear her voice in my head and see her smile. I'll hold on to that for the rest of my life. Although she was my mother's best friend, Jane was also MY friend and I love her, too.
   I'll miss you in the physical world, Jane, and I thank you for everything you've ever done for my mom, my family and for me. You are a light for all of humanity and continue to shine from the other side.
