Do Any of these Spirits Belong to You?

This week I attended a Merle Haggard concert and received three clear messages from people who passed. Perhaps they're for you... let me know! 

1) An elderly woman named Alice, showed me what she saw on her death bed. She had a clear or light blue tube /respirator going in her mouth! She wore glasses, because I saw through her eyes looking at her body covered in a blanket, laying a bed. She wanted me to tell her living relatives that when she died in the hospital it was a quick transition, and she's now pain free. 

2) A many named Michael came to me He said he was a Sargent and died in either Vietnam or Korea. He used to work weekends in an automotive shop, too. He showed me that he was working on a  car in a garage. He told me that he had three children, 1 boy named Jeff, and 2 girls. He told me that he missed being with them physically, but he's still around them. 

3) The third spirit that came to me was a man named Barry. Barry said he died in an auto accident and gave me pain on the left side of my face. He told me that the left side of his face was crushed as a result of the auto accident. He mentioned a woman named Jill. I'm not sure if that's his wife, girlfriend, mother, sister? - a woman connected to him. He said something about a birthmark on an arm, like the forearm. He said he wants to say that he's okay now, and pain free, and he likely left his body just before the accident. He doesn't remember the impact. He's fine and pain free on the other side. 

  If any of these people belong to you, please let me know! 

Spirits know that with the Facebook social network, there's a chance they can route you to see this blog and read these messages. They have amazing abilities!

Risen from the Dead: An Easter Thought

    Easter is the time that Christians celebrate Christ's resurrection from the dead, and his re-appearance on Earth. As such, the holiday made me think about the ghosts and spirits that have been in touch with me and so many others.
  Think about this - if you're a ghost hunter, or if you've had an experience with a ghost or a spirit, you've either seen them, heard them, sensed them, smelled them or felt them. Right?  Well, they, too, were living, breathing people who still exist "after physical death" just like Jesus did. I say this not to sound sacriligious, but to make a point that Jesus was one of the first known living people to appear to come back from physical death.
  When Jesus first appeared after death, people didn't recognize him, as sometimes ghosts are not recognized as the people they were. In fact, some ghosts are seen as shadow figures. Others clearly have faces, bodies, etc. and are seen doing things like sitting in a chair, or heard singing, or rocking a living baby in a crib.
  The Christian bible says that Jesus also solidified, so that Thomas could feel his wounds. People today who have had encounters with ghosts or spirits that return to Earth have reported that they can feel clothing, get a hug, feel a ghost tug some clothing, slap them in the face, or feel a ghost or spirit's cold hand on them.
  My own grandfather literally bumped into his late aunt Elvina's spirit when he went to shovel coal into a house furnace in the early 1900s. I have felt hands (and fingers) of both ghosts and spirits on my arm, back and shoulder. Others will tell you the same.
  That being said, the Easter celebration of Jesus' resurrection is acknowledged over and over again today as loved ones in spirit return with messages and those trapped as Earth-bound ghosts provide visible, physical, audible signs that they have also returned.

Experiencing the Pain of George Washington Before he Passed

Mt. Vernon behind the sign for the house tour

Recently I visited the home of Mount Vernon, the home of President George Washington and his wife Martha. The home sits overlooking the Potomac River in northern Virginia, about 11 miles south of Washington, D.C. It was also there that I had an interesting, but short experience.

  Sometimes, ghosts have shared their pain with me to tell me that they still linger. This was a similar experience. 

  When I entered the mansion, I sensed some residual energy from emotion that lingered in the home. 

  Upon going into one of the upstairs guest rooms I was overwhelmed with energy, and suddenly got a sharp pain in my throat! - I wasn't sure what was going on. The sharp pain became a dry throat, and it hurt. After walking through the room into a small hallway where a docent stood I learned why I felt that pain. 

  The docent said "You are now in a small hallway, and pointed to an adjoining bedroom. She said it was the room where George Washington died. She said that he said 2 days before he died that he suddenly had "a sharp pain in his throat!" 

  So, I immediately knew that President Washington was letting me know what happened to him, and what he experienced before he died! I didn't really expect to meet President Washington that day, but it seems I did.

  
SOME BACKGROUND ABOUT GEORGE WASHINGTON'S PASSING from a Doctor, blogging on Salon.com. Source: http://open.salon.com/blog/michael_hebert/2009/02/16/what_killed_george_washington


Joseph Ellis' biography His Excellency: George Washington includes many fascinating details about the life of our first president, including the account of the president’s death in 1799, at the age of 67.  

Swearing in of Pres. Washington- Mt. Vernon Exhibit

One morning in mid-December 1799, Washington went out, as it was his daily habit, on horseback from his home to inspect his Mount Vernon property. That particular day the weather was very cold and there was an ice storm. It is said that Washington spent five hours out in freezing rain, then returned home and dined with guests in his wet clothes because he did not want to keep them waiting. The next day he complained of a sore throat and was hoarse, but otherwise appeared well. The following night he awakened Martha to tell her that he felt a severe pain in his throat, and was having trouble breathing.

George and Martha Washington's tomb on the grounds

The next day his personal physician, Dr. James Craik, was summoned. Craik diagnosed the condition as life threatening, and hastily assembled a team of doctors for aggressive treatment. They bled him of five pints of blood, burned his neck, and gave him calomel, a mercury compound used as a purgative but which probably did little more than induce mercury poisoning. Finally, after several days of this torture, Washington displayed the judgment that made him a great president and told them to stop. According to Ellis: “Eventually Washington ordered his doctors to cease their barbarisms and let him go in peace. ‘Doctor,’ he muttered, ‘I die hard, but I am not afraid to go” (p.269). He expired a few hours later.

Moving out of a Haunted House? Some Suggestions

Moving out of a Haunted House? Here are some suggestions.

   Recently I responded to the following question: We are moving out of a house that we know has a ghost in it. How do we make sure nothing follows us? What should we do?

  Margaret, manager of Inspired Ghost Trackers of Maryland, gave this good advice:  I don't think will follow you, but just to be on the safe side make sure you tell them that they can't follow you and they are not welcome to go. They must stay where they are. And, of course if they do follow you then you know who to call!

  Here are my suggestions: 

Typically ghosts stay at a place comfortable and familiar to them.

*Tell them not to follow you, and stay put, or better yet, tell them to move into the light.  

*Put sea salt just outside the. front door to block them from leaving.

*Picture yourself surrounded by white light and positive energy to act as a block to a ghost's negative energy.

*Finally, think positive thoughts when departing. Ghosts feed off negative energy, so don't give them anything to cling to.

Remember the Humanity of Ghosts

   Like many people, I also watch a lot of the ghost "hunting" TV shows: Ghost Hunters, Ghost Hunters International, and Ghost Adventures. Although its fascinating to see people use scientific equipment to prove that ghosts exist in the buildings they explore, they never take a medium with them. I think that's a mistake. Why? Because mediums can communicate with ghosts to learn why they are still there, and help them cross over into the light where they belong.
   I belong to a great ghost group, and they're called "Inspired Ghost Trackers," because they use scientific equipment to "Track" ghosts, not "hunt them." Whenever we find a ghost we also try and cross them over, because they deserve the peace of being with their families.
   I didn't always have this awareness. Yes, I knew spirits were people who passed, but earth-bound ghosts always had more of a mystery of who they were. My friend Louis Charles, author of the great book "Ghosts Need Help, Too" really helped push that awareness in me some years ago. It's an amazing book, and one that all in the "ghost hunting business" should read to help remind them that ghosts need help crossing into the light.
  Remember, ghosts had lives on Earth. They were people, too. They may have had children, spouses, pets, jobs. They traveled and worked. They lived and breathed. Now they deserve that final peace. After all, most ghost hunters will get a sound file from a haunted location that says "help me."
  Although they may initially choose to stay on Earth, they forget how to cross over and need our help to do so. They belong in the light and as part of the energy of the cosmos, not on Earth.
