The Thatch Tavern Ghost Whom I thought was Alive! - Read: Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation

In my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation" I met a lot of ghosts from a lot of different time periods in England. They were all from different professions and walks of life. They included 2 queens, merchants, a waitress, ghostly monks, and members of the royal court to name a few..
  Here's a short video of a ghost I encountered at the Old Thatch Tavern in the town of Stratford Upon Avon. It took me by surprise, because I thought she was a living person!

 You can read more in my book and see the sketch I made of her.

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 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), and Kindred Spirits: How a Medium Befriended a Spirit, and Case Files of Inspired Ghost Tracking. The books are available in paperback and e-book on Amazon.com.

Paranormal Q&A: What do your friends and family think of you work? Are you proud, or do you generally keep it quiet?

Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (who crossed over). Here's this week's question: 

Q: What do your friends and family think of you work? Are you proud, or do you generally keep it quiet?

A: I'm very open about my gift with family and friends. It's hard not to be when I'm also a paranormal investigator and I blog about it, and write about it on Facebook, Twitter, etc.!  Everyone is supportive.  The other aspect is that I help people, and there's nothing wrong with that!  I don't charge for any small email readings I give. I just want to bring people peace and comfort.

I'm not open about my abilities in the workplace, though. Since I'm a scientist, there are many in the science community that don't believe in the paranormal (although I believe the paranormal is all about Energy). You also have to be careful whom you tell, since some people who belong to some conservative religions think mediums "talk to the devil," (even though we don't). 

Fortunately, my ability is inherited from my mother's side of the family, so she understood immediately (although she was afraid to use it). Also, I was able to convince my brothers when I told them about a unique sign that my dad's spirit gave me during his funeral. It proved to them that I truly was talking with my dad's spirit! - I wrote about that in my book "Ghosts and Spirits."

   Learn about the Old Yellow House, a haunted childhood home of IGT founder Margaret Erhlich, and how the ghosts inspired her to form the paranormal team many years later that brought the team into many strange situations. 
   Rob, a medium in the Inspired Ghost Tracking paranormal group, announced the release of his seventh paranormal book that brings readers along on investigations and reveals some bizarre and shocking things the group found and how they helped the ghosts and families.

"When earthbound ghosts have traumatized families in their own homes, Inspired Ghost Tracking (IGT) of Maryland has gone in to cross them over," Gutro said. "Every case is different, too. Some have had earthbound ghosts that were friendly, others were not. IGT experienced a lot of bad energies that caused people to become physically sick or mentally traumatized. IGT investigators had to figure who, what, when and why things were happening, to finally bring peace to the living and the dead."  

In this collection of IGT cases, you’ll read about the "Burned Ghost," ghosts of two different time periods in one home, dark things that Ouija boards brought into homes, a very haunted Maryland mansion, many ghosts of Baltimore’s Federal Hill, a ghostly attachment, a Steelworker’s ghost, poltergeist activity, the famous IGT “Double Murder Ghost Investigation” and many more.

You'll find answers to questions like why ghosts choose to stay in a place, the differences and similarities between ghosts and spirits, why energy is the key to the paranormal and much more.

Although Rob has become known as a "Pet Medium" through the success of his best-selling books "Pets and the Afterlife" and "Pets and the Afterlife 2," he also connects with human earthbound ghosts and spirits.

Gutro is the first in the paranormal field to make the distinction between earthbound ghosts and spirits who have crossed over. Rob has three books about his experience with human ghosts and spirits, called "Ghosts and Spirits," "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead," and "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation," and most recently, "Kindred Spirits: How a Medium Befriended a Spirit."   

Rob Gutro has been featured in the Washington Post and nationally syndicated radio programs like "Coast to Coast AM." Rob is a volunteer with Dachshund and Weimaraner rescues and gives fundraising lectures for animal rescues around the U.S., teaching grieving pet parents how pets communicate from the afterlife.

Remembering Buzz: A New Memorial! (Who Influenced My Pets and the Afterlife books)

Buzz the Weimaraner is responsible for showing me how pets communicate from the afterlife, and influenced me to write my "Pets and the Afterlife" books 1 and 2. (I'm currently writing book 3).
   I can honestly say that this little puppy is my hero and this year, we got him a new memorial that acknowledges his healing to countless others around the world, who have lost their pets

My puppy Buzz Wyatt was born 16 years ago on July 29, 2004 and passed away on Feb. 22, 2005 (Tom never met Buzz because he and I met in Dec. 2005). This year, we decided to get him a new memorial for the yard.

When our 16 year old Dachshund, Franklin passed on May 8 of this year, he found a place that makes the best looking pet memorials, by etching your pet's likeness in granite. So, we decided to do it for Buzz (and Sprite, which you read about on the anniversary of his passing on July 8).

The company that made them is called Engraved Reflections www.engravedreflections.com.

       Buzz gave me so many signs after he passed. He still lets us know he is around. I wrote about his many signs in my "Pets and the Afterlife" 1 and 2 books.

A Nice Note that Made My Day

I enjoy receiving emails, especially from folks who have read my books and enjoyed them or found
them helpful. On July 14th, Kelly wrote me such a note and agreed to let me share it. So, if someone has affected you in even the slightest positive way today, drop them a short note and let them know. You'll make their day as Kelly has made mine. - Rob 

Here's the note:
 Hi Rob! I hope you read this. My name is Kelly and I just wanted to tell you that I have read all of your writings; they have enlightened as well as entertained me! 
I’ve always been empathic but afraid to go any farther-due to bring raised Catholic (although I am no longer). 
 I love dogs and I can communicate with my dog Monty while looking into his eyes! 
 Keep up the good work, Rob. 
 I live in Pittsburgh, PA. 
 Thank You for being a shining star!!!!

Paranormal Q&A: What are some warnings you would give people who wish to contact their loved ones?

Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). Here's this week's question: 

Q: What are some warnings you would give people who wish to contact their loved ones?

A: There's really only one warning to people who want to try and contact loved ones in spirit -  Don't use a Ouija Board. Ever. The reason is that Ouija boards (although initially, and horribly, were marketed to children) open up door ways to the other side and not everyone on the other side was a good person. In addition, they can open a door to dark things (meaning evil).  

Don't use Ouija boards! 

As a paranormal investigator, I've been called to a number of houses where people used Ouija boards and opened doorways and bad entities came in , and in one case made every member of the family physically ill!  We had to close the portal and clean the house of bad energy. 

 

If you want to contact a loved one in spirit, read my books - because I explain all the ways in which they give us signs. Or, contact a medium like Ruth Larkin, the beantown medium who has a genuine gift.

 However, it's easy to see signs from spirits of loved ones. You just need to know what to look for... and that's the reason I wrote my books "Ghosts and Spirits," "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead" and Pets and the Afterlife and Pets...2."  Please don't use a Ouija board!

Paredolia and Seeing "Paranormal" Things

One part of paranormal investigating is debunking things. One aspect of debunking is about disproving something that someone sees in a design or background. We do that when others do not see the image and / or there are no temperature changes, electrical discharges, or a medium doesn't sense anything. 

  There has to be some back up. What's interesting is that when you look at something, and someone tells you what they've seen, you can also envision the object there. Does that mean it's there? No.
  It's likely  Pareidolia. 
 

man on horseback?

What's Paredolia? It's a psychological phenomenon involving a stimulus (an image or a sound) wherein the mind perceives a familiar pattern of something where none actually exists.

Common examples are perceived images of animals, faces, or objects in cloud formations, the "man in the moon", the "moon rabbit", and hidden messages within recorded music played in reverse or at higher- or lower-than-normal speeds.

Earlier this week, my friend Scott in Ohio found an article and photo of a graveyard, where a person said he sees a man on a horse. 
Well, I didn't see it until I read the headline, and then I could "kind of" see it. I was making out an outline of what I think a man on a horse looks like in my mind while looking at the photo. So, no, I don't think there was a ghost in the photo. (Link to the story: http://news.yahoo.com/ghost-on-horseback-captured-in-chilling-graveyard-104358862.html?nf=1)
 

Seeing a face in a bathtub

However, that doesn't mean that ghosts don't appear in photos. We have lots of proof that they do- both in visible pictures and infrared pictures.

So, next time you look up in the sky and you see an "elephant" in the clouds, it's not the ghost of an elephant, but paredolia. Just use discretion!

2 Cat Moms Find the Spirits of their late Cats are Training their New Cats

In my books, Pets and the Afterlife and Pets and the Afterlife 2, I explain how pets in spirit will come back
to "train" our new pets to do some action or habit that they used to have in their time in the physical. That proves that their spirits are around, and lets their pet parent know that. Recently Kim and Mellynda wrote me about that same thing that happened to them. Here are their stories:

  Kim Bryan Reading your post this morning gives me confirmation! I lost my 16 yr old kitty Bebe last Dec. I recently adopted 2 kitties. It has been alot of guilt for me still.
