With Halloween this week, I thought this a great time to address what
"Haunted" really means.
I
was inspired to answer this question when a friend of mine asked i if I was being "haunted" by a spirit of someone I love, who visits from time to time
In my
books "Ghosts and Spirits" and "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead" I explain the difference between GHOSTS and SPIRITS.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER WE DIE? - The
physical energies in living bodies (people or pets) combine with our
memories and personalities and we stay on Earth or cross over. That's the difference between a ghost and a spirit.
WHAT ARE SPIRITS? - Spirits have "crossed over," gone to heaven, Valhalla, Paradise or whatever you want to call the other side.
Spirits come back from time to time to give us
messages, guide us, help us make decisions, protect us, help us learn
lessons and let us know that they're still watching over us and love
us.
WHEN DO SPIRITS VISIT?
Spirits come from time to time and don't live with us. They visit on
Birthdays, Anniversaries and Holidays for the most part) and lets us
know he's fine on the other side. Spirits do NOT "Haunt" people. Only
ghosts do.
WHO HAUNTS PEOPLE? - Haunting is a "ghost-only thing. Here's why:
WHAT ARE GHOSTS? Ghosts are Earth-bound entities.Ghosts
usually stay in one place - usually the place they lived (and liked
when alive) and are always there, "Haunting" it. Ghosts stay for a
number of reasons, like unfinished business, or perhaps they were mean
or evil when living and don't think they deserve to cross over, so they
linger trying to get forgiveness. Sometimes they can attach themselves
to an object or a person (if the person is very negative, depressed,
angry or has any negative emotion).
Earth-bound ghosts are isolated from peace and stuck on Earth in a
kind of isolation (hell) - they know of their relatives in spirit but
can't communicate with them or cross over until they get what they need
(often forgiveness or a medium to cross them over).
Spirits,
like Ed, are at peace in the afterlife. So, NOPE, Ed isn't haunting
us, just coming back to say hello and "I love you" from time to time -
and usually whenever I call him (as any spirit will come back to people
and give messages if asked).

Favorite scary weather scenes in horror movies! (from EarthSky)
EarthSky put together this interesting look at Scary Weather Scenes in Horror Movies for Halloween- which I think is appropriate since I'm a meteorologist. Enjoy! Rob
Favorite scary weather scenes in horror movies
|
Have you ever watched a scary movie where a crazed killer chases a
person in an old, abandoned house during a thunderstorm? If you have,
then you know how certain kinds of weather can add suspense and thrills
to a horror movie. Thunderstorms can be loud and can produce the flickering lighting that adds to a scary movie. Some of the classic movies just had to include stormy weather. Follow the links below for my picks of favorite scary weather scenes in horror movies.
Frankenstein. How would Frankenstein be born without a good thunderstorm with plenty of lightning?
VIDEO CLIP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8H3dFh6GA-A
The Shining. Stephen King built his book (and the subsequent movie) The Shining upon the fact that weather can be horrible. The Shining
focuses on a hotel where a couple and their son are trapped by bad
weather, and (bwahaha) the hotel eventually drives Jack Nicholson’s
character mad. Towards the end of the movie, the scene below would not
be possible without a major winter storm. SPOILER ALERT for the clip
below: If you’ve never seen The Shining, you might want to avoid watching this clip!
VIDEO CLIP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfpKXa-AhPE
Psycho. The classic Alfred Hitchcock movie Psycho
also uses bad weather to drive the action forward. Near the premise and
beginning of this movie, Marion Crane leaves her home and work place
after stealing money from her boss. After hours of driving on the road, a
mixture of fatigue and stormy weather influences her decision to spend
the night at the Bates motel. Without the storm, would she have stayed
at the Bates Motel? We’ll never know, but you have to admit, weather
played a large role in her decision to spend the night at a hotel … that
will never let her come out alive.
Happy Halloween!

A Little Girl's Spirit Gives Me a Tragic Story
A girl like the spirit I saw |
came through to me.
She told me she was a young African-American girl and she had passed. I felt a dry throat and heard her say, "There was smoke everywhere. There was a fire in our house. It was hot, I was tired, I couldn't breathe and I fell asleep. She told me that she was wearing a red top and little black skirt. She said that she's okay now, and she said she may be heard walking around the house at night.
She also said that "Whenever you're cooking on the stove, I'm standing right next to you."
I held onto that message and didn't know who it belonged to- but the little girl would tell me later.
When the night's events came to a close I didn't have the opportunity to read my 2 messages aloud, so it was up to spirit to tell me who they were for. After the session, I went into the lobby of the hotel (where the event took place) and stood at a table with my three books.
house fire with a lot of smoke |
The African-American woman said "That's my husband's cousin. Actually cousins. There were two little girls ages 3 and 5 that died in a fire recently." He wanted to know if they were okay on the other side, and this was his confirmation. So why did I only get messages from one of them? She was the "spokesperson" for both of them. Oftentimes one spirit will come through stronger and more vocal than another - as in the case of a husband and wife for instance.
It was amazing that not only was this little girl descriptive, but she pointed out the person that needed the message.

Message from a Dog's Spirit during NY Trip
Two weeks ago, I traveled to upstate New York to
do a fundraiser for the Adirondack Save a Stray rescue and talk about
how pets communicate from the afterlife. I flew in on the afternoon of
the event, and the next morning on the way back to the airport, explored
the small town of Glens Falls. It's funny how when you're least
expecting it, you can get a message from a spirit to let you know
they're around. That's exactly what happened that morning when my late
puppy Buzz gave me a clear sign.
THE GREY GHOST- That's a nickname for Weimaraners and there was a bicycle shop by that name so I had to get a picture of it! Our dog Buzz was a Weimaraner (the dog who passed in 2005) and it became clear to me that he led me there to let me know he's still with me!

Pet Expo Story: Debbie's Story of Spirit Moving Table Across House!
At the New England Pet Expo, I met a wonderful woman named Debbie K, who talked with me about paranormal activity in her house. I asked if she would share the story for others as a way to show some ways that spirit tries to communicate with us... and examples of cats seeing spirits! - Rob
We
moved into our home the end of July, 2013 and at that time we were
unaware that the wife had passed in January of 2011. The third week of
August I was out at training all day while my husband was at work. I
came home from training and a table that was in our living room was
standing upright in the doorway to our office. We only have cats and
there is no way they could have moved the table. I thought my husband
may have moved the table for some reason and shrugged it off - he left
after I had that morning. When he came home from work, I asked him if
he moved the table and he had not!
After cleaning up from dinner, I
went to go into the basement to do laundry and noticed the door was ajar
(it is always closed to keep the cats upstairs). We searched the
bathroom and all closets in the house and did not
find signs of an intruder.
The distance the spirit moved the table through the houe! |
Also in August my husband was changing out
outlets since they were old and were not grounded. He shut off breakers
in the basement until he found the one for the living room. However,
the same breaker did that area of the basement and he turned on one of
the clip on lights that you get from Home Depot. After changing the
outlets, he went back into the basement and the light was off - it was
completely unplugged from the wall!!
Tonight
I was making dinner and heard something fall in the basement. One of
our cats was in the back hallway and was sniffing the closed door
and seemed concerned about what he heard. I became nervous and of
course my husband again was not home yet. It is at times like this that
I wish we had a dog to make me feel a little more settled. As best as I
can tell, nothing has happened from the two events last year and what I
heard tonight.
****************************
After reading Debbie's story I got a couple of messages from spirit, so I emailed them to her to see if they made sense. Here's what I wrote:
Hi Debbie- Thank you so much for your story! It was so nice to meet you at the Pet Expo.
I
remember your story of the door being opened and the table moved. Wow.
The diagram really shows that the table was moved quite a distance.
That's a strong spirit! - Usually they'll hide tools, a check, cash, or
something light.
**************************
Debbie acknowledged the messages I sent and provided the following explanations:
The table I had bought at a tag sale (the tag sale had a man running it) probably about 4 or 5
years ago (so it's not connected to anyone in the family).
I had a boyfriend pass away suddenly in March of
2003. Sean was great to my cats and one especially took to him. (THIS IS THE MALE VISITING) The
last weekend he visited, she would not go anywhere near him which I
thought was odd. Monday
afternoon he passed away of a massive heart attack and I know that is
why Lady acted weird - she sensed something was up. We lost Lady
probably about 2 years ago due to illness and all of our current cats
did not know Sean.
Regarding
September, the only thing is my birthday which was the 13th. When I
turned 13 I drove my mother insane because it was a Friday! I am the
same age as Sean was when he passed - 42.
Everything
we have seen so far has been nothing bad so I am not letting myself
worry about it - except it was scary being home along last night and
thinking someone was in our basement.
