A Recap and Nice Compliment from last night's interview

Last evening I was a guest on Paramania Radio's "On the Horizon" with hosts Brock Burroughs and Vicki Johns. Not only did we talk about my latest book, Case Files of Inspired Ghost Tracking," but I received a really nice compliment about my "Kindred Spirits" book.

I've been fortunate enough to join Vicki and Brock on many occasions and discuss my other books.

Last night we talked about earthbound ghosts versus spirits who have crossed over, and touched upon some of the experiences in my latest book "Case Fires from Inspired Ghost Tracking." Vicki is a medium, so she and I can relate about our interactions with ghosts or spirits. Brock mentioned Ouija boards and we covered that topic as well as a case in the book where a Ouija board was used in a home and opened a portal, bringing in a lot of dark energy that physically sickened people who lived in the home.
     Brock paid me a nice compliment about my book "Kindred Spirits: How a Medium Befriended a Spirit" when he said he didn't want the book to end. I was very touched by that.
  The good news is that Ed's spirit, the topic of the book, is still very much around me and has been his active self. In fact, after I published the "Kindred Spirits" book last year, I already began writing "Kindred Spirits 2."
WHAT KINDRED SPIRITS IS ABOUT: 
     Kindred Spirits is about my husband's late partner that has been with us since I met my husband in 2005, and I've grown to know Ed so well from the other side, that I consider him a close friend. You''ll learn about that in the book, as well has how he solved the mystery around his own death, and how he sent a look-alike to rescue us when we got lost in the English countryside. He was there when our dog Sprite passed, and has given many signs to us and his family. Since it's also PRIDE MONTH, it's a perfect book to read and get "In the Spirit of Pride"

WHAT CASE FILES OF INSPIRED GHOST TRACKING IS ABOUT: 
Case Files of Inspired Ghost TrackingWhen earth bound ghosts have traumatized families in their own homes, Inspired Ghost Tracking (IGT) of Maryland has gone in to cross them over. In this collection of IGT cases, you’ll read about a very haunted Maryland mansion, many ghosts of Baltimore’s Federal Hill, the Burned Ghost, ghosts of two different time periods in one building, the dark things Ouija boards brought into homes, a ghostly attachment, a Steelworker’s ghost, poltergeist activity, the famous IGT “Double Murder Ghost Investigation” and many more.

Celebrate Pride Month - Read "Kindred Spirits" by Medium Rob Gutro

June is National Pride month, and we celebrate the diversity of the LGBT community. One of my books, "Kindred Spirits," is about how the spirit of a gay man has come through to me for the last 14 years and I've actually befriended him. The book examines the amazing signs he's given to prove he's around, sent a look-alike to save us from being lost in England, and helped solve the mystery around his own death... plus more!

   ABOUT THE BOOK:  It's uncommon for a medium really get know a spirit so well that the living person considers the spirit a best friend. But that's exactly what happened to medium and paranormal investigator Rob Gutro. When Rob met his partner Tom in 2005, Ed's spirit came along for the ride. Rob never knew Ed in life, but Tom did. Now, Ed often communicates to Rob and has revealed his sense of humor, his heart, and helped solved the mystery of his passing. Ed's "Spirit Treasure Hunt" showed his family he's with them, too. Ed even sent a look-alike to rescue Rob during a vacation in England.As you read about this special spirit named Ed and his sometimes funny communications, you'll learn signs your loved ones send. This book will teach you how to be more aware of messages from your loved ones in spirit.

Our dog Tyler Shows Love and Care for his Older Sister, Dolly

In my books "Pets and the Afterlife 1 and 2," I explain how, scientifically it has been proven that dogs have the same emotions as humans. Here's a good example.  
  Our black and tan Dachshund Tyler (10 yrs old) is such a good boy to his older sister Dolly (a 15 year old Weimaraner). Dolly sleeps in the kitchen because she is incontinent in #1&2. But she has difficulty getting to sleep, so Tyler sits with her every night until she gets sleepy. Then Tyler comes to his bed. Such a good, caring, loving boy.

In the news: The famous sobbing ghost of Langley Castle which inspired JK Rowling

Recently an article in the United Kingdom's Northern Echo newspaper published a story highlighting a castle and a ghost that inspired famous "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling. Here's the story!



The famous sobbing ghost of Langley Castle which inspired JK Rowling  
By Chris Lloyd echochrislloyd Chief Features Writer, Northern Echo


Durham border near Haydon Bridge in Northumbria, is said to be the only fortified medieval castle hotel in England. Sadly, due to the lockdown, it is closed at the moment, but it’s only current resident has been in the headlines this week. She is the Grey Lady, one of the North-East’s most famous ghosts, who is regularly seen sobbing uncontrollably as she glides through the corridors towards a high window. She looks back with a tear-stained face, and then jumps and disappears…

The hotel makes much of its spooky occupant and has previously named her as Maud de Lucy, who was watching from the highest window for the return from battle of her husband, Sir Thomas. When she heard her brave knight would never be returning, she flung herself from the portal. However, genealogical research shows it can’t be Maud. She was actually Sir Thomas’ daughter, born in 1350.

It is true that her first husband, Sir Gilbert de Umfraville, died in battle – at Neville’s Cross near Durham in 1381 – but she was not so distraught as to take her own life.

In fact, she remarried and lived happily with her second husband until her natural death at St Bees in Cumbria in 1398. The ghost cannot be Sir Thomas’ first wife, Margaret, as she died before 1350 when he built the castle – he constructed it using the proceeds from his fighting in France with King Edward III as a bastion against the Scots.

 Therefore could it be his second wife, Agnes de Beaumont? No one knows how or where she died, so she is in the frame – but Sir Thomas himself died in 1365 without being killed in battle, so she didn’t fling herself from a window on his behalf.

And so the mystery of the ghostly Grey Lady gained valuable column inches for hotel in last weekend’s Sunday Times, which noted that the weepy spectre was so famous that it had inspired JK Rowling to create Moaning Myrtle and Grey Lady which both haunt Hogwart’s.

Q&A with Rob: How can we be sure a Medium isn't reading a person's mind to give "signs"?

Here's a fascinating question from a woman named Laura who read my "Pets and the Afterlife" book - inquiring if all "spirit messages" are just mediums reading people's minds. It's not, and here's why.

COMMENT/QUESTION: After reading Pets and the Afterlife I am left wondering how Rob Gutro so easily believes that anytime a psychic hits on some accurate information about a deceased pet that it is proof that the animal is communicating from the other side? And not just that the psychic is reading the mind of the owner? I'm waiting for a deceased animal to impart some information that the owner doesn't know but which can later be verified! Then I can be convinced of what I so desperately want to believe! Laura.

ANSWER: That's a great question. Laura's question would also then suggest that mediums are all just mind readers, including those mediums who communicate with people (I have communicated with both. So, there are a lot of things to explain here.

First, there's a difference between a psychic and a medium and a mind reader. 
A psychic connects with energies of past, present and future. They can't read minds.

A medium, of which I am one - and I am NOT a psychic, only can receive messages from people or pets who have passed on.

Mind reading is an entirely different gift.

Second, mind readers read minds of people they are near. They don't do it from afar because they need that personal energy connection. As such, the readings I give people are always done remotely  by email. I don't have any physical closeness to the person, don't know anything about them, their lives, their homes, their lifestyle or their pets.

Third, like people in spirit, pets in spirit convey things that ONLY their pet parents would know. That's how they prove their identity.  Sometimes spirits they share pain of death with me.

In many cases of readings I've done, the pet parent didn't know exactly what their pet was suffering from, or how they passed, but their pet conveyed that- as in a story in my Pets in the Afterlife 2 book, where a dog named Clancy showed me he was eating plants that proved toxic to him.
   When I emailed the mom and told her, she confirmed that Clancy loved to nibble on plants in the backyard, and she found several toxic plants in her yard from the SPCA list of toxic plants that I gave her. That said, if I were a mind reader, how could I provide an answer to a pet's death that only the pet knew, and the pet parent didn't know, but ultimately understood?  I couldn't.

Short VideoTour of Sudeley Castle's Gardens - from my book 'Ghosts of England"

In my book Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation by Rob Gutro, I toured the famous Sudeley Castle and talked about the ghost that haunts the castle. Also impressive about Sudeley were the magnificent gardens that surrounded it. So, in this short video, I'll take you on a tour of them!

You can read about the Ghost at Sudeley Castle in Chapter 19 of the book. Sudeley Castle was the estate of Queen Katherine Parr, the last surviving wife of Henry VIII. There is one reputed ghost who haunts the castle, and there's a very strange story about her burial that would explain why she's not at peace. It's all in my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation.

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 7 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 7 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), Kindred Spirits and Case Files of Inspired Ghost Tracking.  The books are available in paperback and e-book on Amazon.com.

In the News Quarantined with Tampa Bay’s ghosts? Some wonder if they are stuck in haunted houses.

The following article appeared in the Tampa Bay Times... how many people find out their houses are haunted during this COVID19 virus quarantine? This article highlights one of those people!

 Quarantined with Tampa Bay’s ghosts? Some wonder if they are stuck in haunted houses. 
Tampa Bay News May 15, 2020 

With more people home, there are new bumps in the night and day. Some already suspected ghosts and are now isolated with them.

In 1933 Victor Licata murdered his family with an ax in the home where Schleicher now lives, located at 1707 E 5th Avenue in the Ybor City neighborhood in Tampa, Florida. [OCTAVIO JONES | Special to the Times] Kurt Schleicher talks about finding possible axe cuts in the window frame at his home in Ybor City.


By Paul Guzzo Published Apr. 30 Updated May 1 TAMPA —

Kurt Schleicher lives in one of the Tampa Bay area’s most infamous murder houses.

 In 1933, Victor Licata slaughtered his parents and three siblings with an ax inside his Ybor City home.

 Today, a chill passes through the bathroom that was once the bedroom where two of the children were killed, Schleicher said. He hears knocking noises throughout the house and his dog barks at the bedroom where the mother and another child were murdered. “I’ve always thought the house is haunted,” Schleicher said. “I think about it more now because I am here all the time. There is no place to go. There is no place to hide." He is not alone in wondering if something otherworldly is happening at his house.  Kurt Schleicher talks about finding possible axe cuts in the window frame at his home in Ybor City.

In 1933 Victor Licata murdered his family with an axe in the home where Schleicher now lives.

Others self-isolating wonder if they have uninvited company from the afterlife. Are they quarantined with ghosts? “I expect an uptick in people who notice they might have spirits,” said Lakeland’s Miki Strange — her real last name — a paranormal investigator with Tampa Bay Spirits.

 “Normally we’re all in such a rush to get homework done, dinner done and to bed at a decent time that we don’t have the time to be quiet and pay attention.” Now, she said, most people are home nearly all day. “They start hearing things or seeing stuff they didn’t notice before,” Strange said. “They question what it could be and because they can’t get away from it and go to work it bothers them more and more." Still, her team of investigators first look for physical explanations of odd occurrences. “Rodent problems, an issue with electricity,” she said. “We try to rule out everything with a normal explanation.”
