COME TO A HOLIDAY Afternoon of    Messages from Spirit

When:  Sunday, December 16, 2012

Time:   4:00 - 7:00pm
Where: Chantilly, Virginia
Fee:     $60/pp or $50/pp with the donation of a bag of dog food/blankets/treats, etc.

---

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

Join medium Barb Mallon for a very special afternoon of inspiration, validations, and messages from loved ones on the other side!  (Rob Gutro will also be there and share a "3 Ghosts of Christmas Past" story, and have his books available)

This event will also benefit a local animal rescue group (TBA).  Bring a bag of dog food, or warm blankets, treats, etc., and get $10 off your admittance fee!  

TICKETS: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/4944257407?ref=ebtn#

This event is much like Barb's larger mediumship events; however, instead of an audience of 50 or more, only 25 seats will be available.  This gives participants a better chance of having their own special reading.  We may also have a few of Barb's mediumship students present who may have extra messages at the end of the evening!

This very intimate setting is a wonderful way to experience the process of mediumship through possibly your own reading or through the readings of others*.  

Barb will start with a small introduction, and then relay messages from the other side to those members of the audience she's pulled to. She then finishes with a small Q & A session. The event lasts approximately 2 hours.

She 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. 

Please join Barb after the Q&A session for an intimate reception with holiday refreshments, music and tables of holiday gifts for purchase!  Barb will have NEW pieces of her hand-crafted sterling silver jewelry for sale, as well!

PROGRAM:

4:00 - 4:15 - Introduction

4:15 - 6:00 - Audience readings/Q&A

6:00 - 7:00 - Holiday refreshments & gift ideas available next door!

BALTIMORE'S CITY PAPER SPOTLIGHT ON INSPIRED GHOST TRACKING

Since I joined Inspired Ghost Tracking a couple of years ago, I've had the opportunity to investigate historic places and personal homes. I've participated in helping rid problematic ghosts from homes. 

Several of the adventures appear in my new book "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead."  https://www.createspace.com/3824548 or

Thanksgiving Means Those Who Passed Still Sit at the Table

Thanksgiving is not only a big holiday for the living relatives in families, but it also tends to be one of those times when those who passed come to visit, too. Any holiday, special occasion, birthday or anniversary are typically times that spirits of loved ones (who crossed into the light) come to visit us.

  Why do they come on Thanksgiving?  Think about it. Spirits are just the souls of relatives who passed. Like living people, they enjoy gathering with family members and what better time to see everyone together than at Thanksgiving? 
  So, this Thanksgiving, if you've lost a loved one, be on the lookout for signs. Whether you find a penny on the kitchen floor, or your electricity does funny things, or you hear a song on the radio that reminds you of your loved one- those are just some signs they can give.
  One Thanksgiving some years ago, my friend Lynn's late brother came to me with signs that she was able to confirm. So, enjoy the day knowing that ALL of your relatives are around you.
  Happy Thanksgiving!

How Do You Know When You're Hearing a Spirit?

One of the question I've been asked a lot is "'How do you know when you're hearing a ghost or a spirit?"
  The answer is that if you "hear" something in your head that doesn't make sense to you, or that you have no idea what it means, chances are you may be getting a message from an Earth bound ghost or a spirit that has crossed over.

Left to Right: Spirit, YOU, person the message is for

  How to verify? When you get a message, like the name "Andrew" pops into your head while you're washing dishes for example, and you haven't met anyone by that name lately, or heard the name on TV or radio, it's likely that a spirit or ghost (if you're where the ghost is located) is trying to tell you something about "Andrew."
  If you suddenly get a feeling that "Andrew" belongs to your friend Jenny, make a note of it. Ask Andrew to show you something personal to him, and you may be surprised at what you get. You could suddenly see in your mind a red sports car or a hammer and nails, indicating that he could've been into carpentry, home repair, or liked to build things.
  Be careful not to interpret the images, though. Let the person to whom the message is for interpret them.
  - I made the mistake of telling a young woman at Barb Mallon's event that I saw her late grandfather sitting next to her. I told her that he was a snappy dresser, loved wearing a hat and getting dressed up on Sundays. I told her he loved reading from his Bible. She insisted that her 2 grandfathers both died before she was young and that my message made no sense. *Days later, after she talked with her father (who was still living), he confirmed that it was his brother, or the girl's late uncle that met the entire message I gave. SO, be careful about calling a spirit a "grandfather, son, father, mother, etc." and just say that it's an older or younger female or male, maybe "like a grandfather" but not necessarily one. The message had a lot of meaning to the woman's father, because he was missing his late brother.

(http://www.amazon.com/Lessons-Learned-Talking-Dead-Volume/dp/1475033214/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1352336292&sr=8-2&keywords=Rob+gutro)

Distinguishing Ghosts from Spirits

In all of the books I've read from other mediums or ghost investigators, most don't distinguish the energies between ghosts and spirits. Most call them all "spirits" but I felt it important to make  distinction, so I call Earth-bound energies "ghosts," and those that crossed into the light, "spirits."
  Both are beings of energy and personality, but ghosts choose to stay here on Earth or get stuck here for some reason (which I explain in my books "Ghosts and Spirits: Insights from a Medium,(http://www.amazon.com/Ghosts-Spirits-Insights-From-Medium/dp/1602645132/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1352336292&sr=8-1&keywords=Rob+gutro)  and "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead." (http://www.amazon.com/Lessons-Learned-Talking-Dead-Volume/dp/1475033214/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1352336292&sr=8-2&keywords=Rob+gutro)
   Ghosts are all about "location, location, location." They inhabit places they enjoyed during life on Earth, or they're stuck in a place where they died (like a prison or a car accident site).
   Spirits on the other hand have joined the energy of the cosmos, or Heaven, or into the light - call it what you will.
   Both draw on physical energies and emotional energies. Ghosts emit negative energy, and are fueled by physical energy as well as negative emotional energy, like fear and anxiety. Spirits, however, are full of positive energy, and are fueled by postive emotions like love, faith and hope as well as physical energy. I explain those in detail in my books as well. One thing that spirits can't do that ghosts can, is that spirits can appear in your dreams. That's how you know they've crossed over.

Five Questions with Margaret Perry Ehrlich, of Inspired Ghost Trackers

My partner and I both belong to the Inspired Ghost Trackers group and this month the Baltimore.org interviewed our group's founder.

Spotlight on Baltimore

A walking tour through the ages around Federal Hill delves into the past with tales of murder, mystery and legend. Inspired Ghost Trackers reveal the techniques and science behind ghost hunting through the historic streets of the neighborhood just two blocks from the Inner Harbor, with owners of the local taverns, shops, and restaurants as they discuss the legends and spirits connected with the area.

Five Questions with Margaret Perry Ehrlich, of Inspired Ghost Trackers

Q1- What is Inspired Ghost Trackers and how did you get involved in the paranormal in Baltimore?

Inspired Ghost Tracking started out as a small meet-up group in Odenton Maryland. Within a few years we have grown to more than 130 members with two meetings per month. After a Halloween open house at Scarborough Fair B&B a couple years ago, I met owner Barry Werner and, along with other guests like medium Rob Gutro, we shared our experiences. A few months later, Barry and I began ghost tours with the help of Rob and my assistant Ronda Dixon, who is better with the history than me.

Q2- With interest in the paranormal increasingly popular, how often do you conduct public and private investigations?

We do one public investigation per month with our group and the core group does private investigations whenever we are contacted. This could be two or three per month or maybe just one every couple of months. Public investigations could be places like Patapsco Female Institute, Fort McHenry, Dr. Mudd’s house, or Westminster Burial Ground. Private would be someone calling us about their home or business.

Q3- If you had to pick one, what is the spookiest place to visit in Baltimore?

I think it would be hard to pick just one as Baltimore has lots of places to visit that are haunted or spooky, including Poe's grave, Westminster Catacombs, Fort McHenry, USS Constellation, Federal Hill, and Fell’s Point. If I had to pick just one I think I would pick Westminster Catacombs as I had a personal experience there hearing the organ playing one night when nobody was in the church.

Q4- What are some of the most bizarre things you’ve seen in your years as a ghost tracker?

We went to Patapsco Female Institute and I got a picture of an apparition that others saw on my camera. When getting home the apparition was gone. Some of the voice recordings that we get are very bizarre, as is knowing that they can answer us. But I think the biggest one is a picture Ronda caught of an apparition at Dr. Mudd’s house.

Q5- How can visitors get involved and explore Baltimore’s haunted heritage?

There are many ways for them to get involved and explore Baltimore’s haunted heritage by the ghost tours around, getting involved in a ghost group, or just exploring on their own. There are a lot of things out there and all they have to do check them out.
