Paranormal Q and A: What type of scientist are you? How do your peers feel about your medium work?

Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). Here's this week's question:

 QUESTION: What type of scientist are you? How do your peers feel about your medium work? 

 ANSWER: I'm a meteorologist. I don't talk about my gift with fellow scientists, but the ones that do know "get it" that it's all about energy! I think that once science catches up with the paranormal, it will just be considered normal!

Paranormal Q and A: Why are some people so afraid of paranormal activities?

Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). Here's this week's question:
 Q: Why are some people so afraid of paranormal activities? 

 A: It's natural to be afraid of what we do not know. It's also natural to be afraid of the dead if someone has heard folk tales, stories from various religions and cults and science fiction stories. Of course, those tend to talk about earth-bound ghosts or spirits who have crossed over and have bad personalities.

We're also afraid of what we cannot see and most people can't see or hear ghosts or spirits. Despite that, we just need to understand that they were all either people or animals who have passed from the physical plane. Some people who have medium abilities are afraid of interacting with ghosts or spirits.

My mom had the ability, but she was afraid of using it. However, she always asked me if I spoke with any ghosts of spirits each week. It was funny that she didn't want to do it, but she was curious about what those who passed would say to me.

Paranormal Q and A: What are some differences between the spirits of pets and the spirits of humans?

Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). This week's question is: What are some differences between the spirits of pets and the spirits of humans? 

 ANSWER: Pets communicate the way that they behaved in life as humans do. Whatever a dog or cat could do when they were alive in the physical world, they can do in spirit. So they can generate sound of nails walking on a floor, or a meow or bark from spirit (although it takes a LOT of energy).  They can also touch a person from spirit (it may feel like a light pressure against someone). 

   People can also generate sounds like footsteps, can call out a name or speak any words, and can also touch living people. 

As a side note,  Pets know limited words in life, but they can show me images of what the liked, where they lived, and who they're with on the other side. One dog told me his dad and mom gave him ice cream the day he passed, and they verified that they took him to a Wendy's drive through and got him ice cream because it was his favorite. He also gave me details about his favorite place to walk and the name of his grandmother in Germany! - It was amazing. - So, they're really not that different! Pets have the intelligence of a 3 to 5 year old child

BOTTOM LINE: Communications from the spirits of people and pets can be very much the same. It's all about how they lived and habits they had during their time on Earth.

Paranormal Q and A: Are you in contact with your dad in spirit?

People ask me things all the time, and I love answering questions based on my experience. Here's this week's question:  Are you in contact with your dad's spirit? 

ANSWER: Yes. I have heard from my mom and dad pretty regularly, like maybe once every couple of months. But they taught me that communications from each of them is really personality driven (the way they were in life). I'll explain in today's blog. 

(Photo: My dad's spirit comes through to me looking 40 years younger) 

  Also, it's important to know that if spirits don't provide a blunt sign, you may feel them around. If you feel one of your loved ones near you, then they are. You have to trust your feelings.  

When my dad passed in 2008 I used to hear from him all the time. You can read about the many incredible signs from my dad in my book "Ghosts and Spirits." In fact, my dad helped me prove to my family that he is very much around and was at his own wake and funeral.

My dad also always comes through to me (telepathically usually) as he appeared in his 30s. He passed at 79 years old. The reason he appears younger is that all spirits choose to appear whenever they felt most comfortable in life. 

On a related note,  we maintain our same personalities on the other side. That's important because it has a lot to do with spirit communication, especially if you have both parents or grandparents on the other side. For example, if you one of your parents did "most of the talking" and the other stayed quiet, the "talker" would come through more in messages from the other side. 

 My mom used to do all the talking and my dad would be quiet. That translated after my mom passed. Since my mom passed in 2013 he steps back and let's my mother do all the talking, just as he did in the physical world. It's pretty funny and pretty amazing.

Paranormal Q and A: What is the strangest case you’ve dealt with?

Inspired Ghost Tracking Group

The answer to this week's  question is also in a chapter in my book called "Case Files of Inspired Ghost Tracking" (available on Amazon).

QUESTION:  What is the strangest case you’ve dealt with?

ANSWER: That would be a case with the Inspired Ghost Tracking Group of Maryland that involved a ghost of a man from Central America who attached himself to a piece of jewelry he made (that was sold to a girl in the U.S. who bought it for her mother), and also wound up including  poltergeist activity (from a teenage girl in the house) and a ghost cat!  So, there were a lot of things happening in that house We had to cross over the male ghost from Central America and recommend counseling for the teenage girl. Once the girl got help, the activity waned. - As for the cat, well, he just stayed.

The Story is in a Chapter called "2 Ghosts, 1 Attachment, a Spirit, a Poltergeist Activity in my book "Case Files of Inspired Ghost Tracking."   

BTW- a poltergeist isn't a ghost. It's emotional activity usually generated by an emotional person (like a teenager going through hormonal changes) that simulate ghostly activity.

Paranormal Q and A During a paranormal investigation does your team always agree on what seems to be occurring?

Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). Here's this week's question:

QUESTION: During a paranormal investigation does your team always agree on what seems to be occurring? 

ANSWER: No. Each team member comes at events from a different perspective and we work together to try and figure things out. For example, poltergeist activity is caused usually by an hormonal teenager under emotional stress. Their mental energy can actually simulate what it's like to have an intelligent haunt or interactive ghost.

Sometimes we disagree on whether a haunting is from a ghost or is poltergeist activity - until we ask questions about children in the house. 

Of course, there are other examples, like whether all of us agree that a photo is of an orb or not.

Paranormal Q and A: What type of selectivity do we have for calling spirits? What if a spirit doesn’t want to come?

Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). Here's this week's question: 

QUESTION: What type of selectivity do we have for calling spirits? What if a spirit doesn’t want to come?

ANSWER: I don't have any control over who comes through. Since we maintain our personalities in death as they were in life, the boldest or most vocal spirit will come through first. For example, I'd love to talk with my dad in spirit more, but since my mother passed, she does all the talking in spirit as she did in life! It's really up to the spirit if they want to talk or not.

Paranormal Q and A: When did you learn of your powers as a medium? Is it learned or natural born?

Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one
about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). Here's this week's question:

QUESTION: When did you learn of your powers as a medium? Is it learned or natural born? 

 ANSWER: When I was 13 I saw my grandfather materialize in full color in front of me. I grabbed the family dog and ran outside waiting for my parents. My granddad appeared 6 months after he died, on the anniversary of his birthday week. (spirits come back usually on birthdays, anniversaries and holidays).

My abilities remained dormant until my dog passed in 2005 and he became the world's best canine communicator. He reawakened the abilities, and helped me focus and enhance them. -

The answer to your second question is that it does run in families. My mom had it, her father (my grandfather) had it, and my mom's cousin did, too My brothers however,don't have it. - But anyone can develop them if they're optimistic and senstive (emotionally). Just "trust your feelings!"

Paranormal Q and A: How do your medium abilities work?

Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one
about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). Here's this week's question:

QUESTION: How do your medium abilities work? Can you see or hear the spirits, or is it just through their manipulation of physical properties?

ANSWER: Mediums are not all the same. We all have different abilities. Some hear or see ghosts and spirits, Others just sense them. I hear, sometimes see, feel, sense and have even smelled scents from them. I often sketch out a ghost whenever I go on a paranormal investigation (and so far, every sketch I made has been confirmed as how the ghost appears to the homeowner). They also telepathically talk with me, or show me things. So, I get messages in a variety of ways. Another thing many ghosts or spirits do is let me experience their pain of death (not to that extreme of course), but enough to let me know what they died of.

Paranormal Q and A: How Do you answer requests for Investigating Houses for Paranormal Activity?

Inspired Ghost Tracking core investigators

Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). Here's this week's question:

QUESTION: How Do you answer requests for Investigating Houses for Paranormal Activity? 

ANSWER: I'm a member of the Inspired Ghost Tracking Group from Hanover, Maryland. Whenever people suspect a haunting, that is, an active (Intelligent) ghost in their home, they contact the IGT group through their website. They answer extensive questionnaires and then the manager sets up a phone call and if she thinks it warrants, a paranormal investigation happens.

 During investigations, I work with another medium or two, and tech people on the paranormal group to investigate what may be paranormal problems in private residences. If we can't debunk what's happening, we consider it paranormal. Since I'm a meteorologist I can debunk atmospheric issues, and we have an architect on staff who can debunk house-settling noises, We have dealt with many actual Earth-bound ghosts, and some poltergeists (mental activity that simulates a ghost, caused by a teenager going through hormonal changes).

 - We always cross the ghost over to the other side. I'm never nervous, but sometimes concerned if I know that someone was using a Ouija board - because those can open doorways to bad people in spirit!

Paranormal Q and A: What are some common ways a spirit would try to contact a loved one?

Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one
about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). Here's this week's question:

QUESTION: What are some common ways a spirit would try to contact a loved one?

 ANSWER: Some common ways that spirits communicate with us involve using things around us. Coins are a common item because they require little energy for spirits to use. Whenever you find a coin, look at the year and that will give you a clue as to whom may be trying to let you know they're around. Other things include feathers, flowers, influencing birds, butterflies or other insects to behave oddly around you (that correspond with a birthday, anniversary or holiday). You may also see someone that looks like the person or pet in spirit.. I provide many more examples in my books "Ghosts and Spirits" and Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead" for human spirits; and "Pets and the Afterlife" and Pets...2 for signs from pets!

Paranormal Q and A: What other types of paranormal or mystical activity do you think is possible?

Paranormal Q and A: Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). Here's this week's question:

QUESTION: What other types of paranormal or mystical activity do you think is possible? 

 ANSWER: Anything is possible when it comes to the paranormal, because it means "beyond what is normal." I've run into portals, which are doorways that open between the spirit world and ours, and other portals (energy doorways) that help a ghost move from one place to another on Earth (because they can't cross over). Time travel comes to mind and it's something we currently think of as "paranormal" or science fiction.

Salt Tower in the Tower of London

You can read about my experience running into an energy portal in the Salt Tower of the Tower of London. That story is in my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation." 

 Placing bad energy on someone or something (sometimes called a curse) has been around for centuries, and there's some truth to it. There's so many more possibilities!

Paranormal Q and A: How do spirits exist and can they see us? Are they energized life forms?

Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). Here's this week's question: 

QUESTION: How do spirits exist and can they see us? Are they energized life forms, and if so, can this be detected by fluctuations in physical fields or sensing technology of some sort?

ANSWER: . After our physical bodies die, the energy within couples with our memories, personality and knowledge. We make a choice to stay Earthbound at a fixed location - what I call a ghost, or cross over and join the energies of the universe- which I call a spirit. Think of spirits as photons of light - so yes, they can see us. In the paranormal field we use electromagnetic field detectors - similar to what an electrician uses to detect an electrical current.
