I'm so glad that so many people have found comfort from reading how their beloved petscommunicate from the afterlife in my books. I'm also grateful for the emails I receive explaining how my books have helped comfort people who lost a pet (or a person). Today, January, 26, 2018 "Pets in the Afterlife" by Rob Gutro is back in the Top 10 Best-Sellers on Amazon.com!
ABOUT THE BOOK To a pet parent, to lose a pet means to lose a child. The love we share
with our pets never dies, and the author proves our pets do communicate
with us from the other side. Learn how dogs, cats, horses and some birds
have the intelligence and ability to send signs to the living after
they pass. Take comfort in knowing our pets are around us from time to
time and recognize the signs they give. Learn how they wait for us when
it’s our time, what a pet’s ashes can do, and the difference between
ghosts and spirits. Learn how and why living pets can sense entities.
Follow one of the author's dogs on a ghost investigation. Read how
spirits of the author’s 2 dogs and dogs from three other mediums
communicated with them from the other side. Read about spirit cats and
how a ghostly dog rescued a girl. The author also volunteers for
Dachshund and Weimaraner rescues and has several dogs.
Thornbury Castle is a castle in Thornbury, South Gloucestershire, England. I stayed in the castle, which is now a luxury bed and breakfast and had several ghostly encounters.
In my room, there was a ghost who lingered and communicated with me, that turned out to be someone known in British history for battles.
On the other side of the Castle was the dining area, reception, and upstairs hallway with many rooms. As we walked down the hallway, one of the doors began swinging by itself after I developed my ghostly headache (which indicates a ghost is present). We checked for breezes and there were no open windows, no air conditioning and nothing that would have caused that- so we confirmed that it was indeed a ghost who made that door move.
To learn about my experience in the Haunted bedroom, read my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation" by Rob Gutro (On Amazon.com). ABOUT THORNBURY
It began construction in 1511 as a home for Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham. It is not a true castle (designed to serve as a fortress), but rather an early example of a Tudor country house, with minimal defensive attributes. It is now a grade I listed building. The site was occupied by a manor house in 930. Part of the original plans for a very grand residence were "well advanced"[1] before the duke was beheaded, in 1521, on the orders of his distant cousin Henry VIII, for alleged treason.
ABOUT "GHOSTS OF ENGLAND ON A MEDIUM'S VACATION by Rob Gutro:
What happens when a medium goes on vacation? Can a medium simply switch
off their ability at will? Well…not exactly. Rob Gutro is a
medium/author/paranormal investigator and a scientist who has written 4
books about his encounters with human and animal ghosts and spirits.
In
this book, you will read about his experiences on two separate trips to
the United Kingdom. England’s rich history and many epic battles have
caused an over-abundance of residual emotional energy. Everywhere he
traveled, he had a paranormal experience. He explored royal palaces and
spent the night in haunted castles. He encountered the ghosts of
historical figures including a queen, a prince, and a nobleman; and
several ghosts even shared their pain of death experience with him. On
one occasion, the doppelganger of a loved one provided directions when
he became lost while driving in the countryside due to a malfunctioning
GPS.
But not all of his encounters were of the human variety: there was
also a very special visit from a canine ghost. This book is intended to
be more than just a collection of personal ghost stories. In addition to
relating my ghostly encounters, he has also included a short narrative
history of the places where the experiences occurred. After all, knowing
the history of a place is key to understanding why a ghost has decided
to stay behind.
So, join Rob as he relates his encounters with the
ghosts of England. Rob has written 4 other books about the paranormal,
two about people (Ghosts and Spirits and Lessons Learned From Talking to
the Dead) and 2 about pets (Pets and the Afterlife and Pets and the
Afterlife 2). The books are available in paperback and e-book on
Amazon.com.
Join my friend Mike Ricksecker in this week's Friday Night Ghost Frights (actually from his Edge of the Rabbit Hole program) as he tells you What Ghost Adventures Didn't Tell You About the Haunted Mineral Springs Hotel! I joined Mike and Shana in the hotel in the summer of 2018, and we wrote about our Amazing Investigation in the BOOK "Encounters of the Paranormal, Vol. 4" by Mike Ricksecker.
In this program, Mike and Shara were LIVE from inside Pearl's Room at the haunted and historic Mineral
Springs Hotel! Dave Nunnally from It's Raining Zen joined us on Edge
of the Rabbit Hole to talk about the real history, haunts, and real
ghost stories at the venue that will host the Haunted Road Media ParaCon
on June 1st. Plus... insider information about the Ghost Adventures
episode that aired a paranormal investigation at Mineral Springs. Is the
curse of the river bend real?
Ghost Adventures specific conversation starts at about 14:46 and again at 47:34
My latest book is called "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation" (by Rob Gutro) and conveys
all
of the ghosts I met as I traveled throughout England. There are a
LOT more ghosts in England that I did not (yet) meet, and here is the second of several postings from Devonlive in Devon, U.K about some of
them.. - Rob
The pirate who haunts Burgh Island
Photo: Burgh Island (Image: SWNS)
In modern times Burgh Island in Bigbury Bay is
most often associated with Agatha Christie’s haunting murder mystery
novel ‘And Then There Were None’. But in the 14th century it was the
hideout of a notorious pirate who was hunted down and hung on the island
and his ghost is said to haunt the Pilchard Inn pub.
At the
height of its fame the elegant hotel on the island attracted guests
including Noel Coward, King Farouk, Lord Mountbatten, Edward VIII and
Wallis Simpson, Winston Churchill, Amy Johnson the aviator, Gertrude
Lawrence, and later The Beatles.
But long, long before that the hotel was the lair of the
pirate Tom Crocker. Because Burgh Island is cut off by the tide twice a
day it is an easy spot to defend and Crocker made the island his hideout
at a time when the south Devon coast was notorious for piracy.
But
Crocker was tracked down and hanged there, at a gateway to the island
in the third week of August 1395. It is said he still walks the island
every year on the aniversary of his death. Locals still report an almost
tangible feeling of melancholy at the spot.
Up until a few years ago the bright young things at the hotel
organised celebrations on that date and everyone went out looking for
him.
Another relic of Tom Crocker on the island is a face said to
be etched into the granite chimney-breast of The Pilchard Inn at the
entrance to the hotel driveway.
Since I'm one of the almost 1 million people working without pay for the last 33 days (Feel free to buy one of my books to help out!), I decided to go through my library and give away a couple of enjoyable books on the paranormal. Today's book is "Ghost Hunting" by Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson of the Ghost Hunters Television program.
HOW IT WORKS - If you leave one of my 5 books a review (hopefully a good one) on Amazon.com, and send it to me, - the first one who does will receive the book. Just EMAIL it to me at Rgutro@gmail.com
*********************************************** The GIVEAWAY: ABOUT THE GHOST HUNTING BOOK: The Atlantic Paranormal Society, also known as T.A.P.S., is the
brainchild of two plumbers by day, paranormal investigators by night:
Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson. Their hair-raising investigations, fueled
by their unique abilities and a healthy dose of scientific method, have
made them the subject of a hit TV show: the SCI FI Channel's Ghost Hunters.
Now their experiences are in print for the first time, as Jason and
Grant recount for us, with the help of veteran author Michael Jan
Friedman, the stories of some of their most memorable investigations.
The men and women of T.A.P.S. pursue ghosts and other supernatural
phenomena with the most sophisticated scientific equipment available --
from thermal-imaging cameras to electromagnetic-field recorders to
digital thermometers -- and the results may surprise you. Featuring both
cases depicted on Ghost Hunters and earlier T.A.P.S. adventures
never told before now, this funny, fascinating, frightening collection
will challenge everything you thought you knew about the spirit world.
Every Tuesday, my friend Joy Andreasen brings us Tarot Tuesday. Today's card is the 3 of Cups.
Joy Says: A celebration may be in order today! Or maybe it is a good day to plan a
get-together with friends. Remember that no matter what you are going
through, your friends are the ones who see you through happy times and
challenging times. Appreciate your tribe today.
ABOUT THE CARD: In the Three of Cups, three young women are dancing with each other in a
circle, raising their cups high in the air in a toast of joy and
celebration. They look to one another with appreciation, honour and
respect, and are bound by their emotional connection and friendship.
There is a sense of lifting each other up and celebrating each woman’s
unique contribution to the group. The ground is layered with flowers,
fruit and a pumpkin, symbolizing the celebration of an abundant harvest
and the goodness in life. Source: Biddytarot.com
BIOGRAPHY: Joy
Andreasen is an author, shamanic practitioner, psychic medium,
spiritual consultant, Reiki Master Teacher and wedding officiant. She
has been giving messages from Spirit for almost twenty years. She
teaches spiritual development and shamanic classes in Winchester and
Herndon Virginia which are always highly acclaimed.
Sometimes it's really difficult to know what to say to people who are grieving the loss of a loved one whether it be
a person or pet who passed. Whenever I give my lectures, everyone in the room is grieving for someone. As a medium, finding things to say is a bit easier for me, because I sometimes get messages from spirit at the right time, but for those who don't, I thought this article would help you respond.
Another way you can help them get through their grief is to teach them how spirits communicate from the other side, and how they can recognize signs. That's what my books are about! - So, for people grieving a person, send them "Ghosts and Spirits" or "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead." If they're grieving a pet, send them "Pets and the Afterlife" or "Pets and the Afterlife 2" by Rob Gutro
Now, here are the Six Helpful Things You Can Do/Say if Someone You Know Is Grieving:
Ask, "How are you doing?" Then listen patiently to the
answer without changing the subject or terminating the conversation.
Create a safe space for them to talk about their experience if they
would like to. You might feel honored that they trusted you enough to
give an honest answer if it's something other than "Fine."
Say that you just found out about their loss. Rather than
the obligatory "I'm sorry for your loss," or "I'm sorry that your
marriage didn't work out for you," try this instead: "I can't imagine
what this is like for you," followed by "How are you doing?" Everyone's
grief is different. Even if you've experienced loss, you don't know how
they feel. Let them tell you about it in their own words.
"I'd like to help. Would you like me to __________?" Insert
specific tasks that you are willing to do that you think might be
helpful. You could suggest something like "mow the lawn, walk the dog,
watch the baby, sit with you, help you clear the garage," etc. Then show
up and do it if the answer is "Yes." Try to avoid the offhand, "Let me
know if there is anything I can do for you." No one believes you really
mean it and that puts the burden on the griever to think of something
for you to do. They don't have the energy for that.
When someone cries in front of you, all you have to do is
stay put and say something in a soothing voice like, "It's OK....let
that out....I'm here for you." Comforting them with a touch on the arm
or a hug is great too. Just do your best to stay present and don't try
to "fix" it. Don't hand them a tissue unless they ask for it. The tears
will come to a natural completion of their own accord.
Do your best to keep your relationship intact. Avoiding a
grieving person because it's uncomfortable for you to be with them is
hard for them. You can imagine the feelings of isolation they would be
feeling if everyone in their lives reacted this way. It's OK to say the
name of the person that is gone. It's OK to ask what happened. It's OK
to talk about the strangeness of it all. It's even OK to cry in front of
them or with them. Your silence and avoidance is what's really painful.

On Tues., Jan. 15, at the Belmont Manor in Elkridge, Maryland, during the Inspired Ghost Tracking series, I gave my lecture on my latest book ,"The Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation." It was a good crowd and all had an interest in either British history, haunted castles, or ghosts. All three interests were addressed in full, and there were a lot of great questions. - One attendee has the gift of mediumship, another came from England and shared some British experiences, including her stay at Thornbury Castle (part of the book and lecture) where I encountered a ghost in my room!. There was also a veterinarian there, whose female relative came through to me, giving her a confirmation she needed to hear. My thanks to Margaret Erhlich, Inspired Ghost Tracking founder, who ran the powerpoint presentation and came out even battling Bronchitis. Tom, another IGT medium (who helped write and edit the book) was also there providing a lot of royal British Tudor history. All in all, a great event.

Did Sir Francis Drake have mystical powers? Does the pirate of Burgh
Island still haunt the place where he was hung on the anniversary of his
death? And were pacts made with the devil which have left a Satanic
chill hovering over these Devon landmarks to this day?
Why Devonians think Sir Francis Drake was a wizard
Both the Spanish and the British believed that Sir
Francis Drake was a wizard who used supernatural methods. The
swashbuckling Elizabethan sea hero helped defeat the Spanish Armada
apparently against all the odds.
After
Drake was knighted by Queen Elizabeth I he took his duties to the
people he represented very seriously. One summer during a particularly
bad drought it is said that he rode up on to Dartmoor until he found a
spring to deliver drinking water to the people of Plymouth.
He is said to have 'bewitched it with magic incantations and then galloped into town with the stream at his heels.
The
stream is still visible as Plymouth leat which rises three miles north
and Sheepstor and threads it was down into a reservoir to the north of
Plymouth.
In places the Devonport Leat appears to travel uphill, which some believed was against the laws of nature.
The leats were designed to carry water, by means of
gravity.The art of the leat builders was a skilled job as they had to
ensure the flow of water was not too fast so as to flood and not to slow
as to stagnate. This was achieved by following the natural contours of
the landscape. On the eastern flank of Beardown where the Devonport Leat
flows down towards Plymouth, a section appears to flow uphill.
Photo: Drake's Leat at Roborough Down (Image: Andrew Hackney) There are still Devonians who believe the spirit of Drake reincarnates with every successive British naval hero.
Even Drake's drum is supposed to have supernatural powers. Drake took the drum with him when he circumnavigated the world.
Shortly before he died he ordered the drum to be taken to Buckland
Abbey and vowed that if England were ever in danger and someone was to
beat the drum he would return to defend the country. According to legend it can be heard to beat at times when England is at war or significant national events take place.
As recently as World War II the drum was said to bang again although many said it was the sound of Ack Ack antiaircraft guns.
Photo: Drake's Drum Now owned by the National Trust, Buckland Abbey was once the home of Sir Francis Drake who is now believed to haunt the Abbey.
After
returning from his three-year circumvention of the globe, Drake was
sold the Abbey in 1580. However the locals believed he possessed
supernatural powers granted to him through a pact with the devil.
According
to reports, Drake’s ghost is said to travel across Dartmoor in a black
coach driven by several headless horses, followed by a pack of howling
hounds. It is also believed that any living dog that hears the packs’
cries will die immediately.
This picturesque Yarcombe Inn pub
was once owned by Drake and is now said to be haunted by his spirit.
The grade II-listed building, on the Devon/Somerset border, dates from
the 14th century. Its other claim to notoriety is that Admiral Lord
Nelson stayed at the inn when he travelled between Portsmouth and
Honiton.
I'm so glad that so many people have found comfort from reading how their beloved petscommunicate from the afterlife in my books. I'm also grateful for the emails I receive explaining how my books have helped comfort people who lost a pet (or a person).
