Explaining a "Mist" from Spreading Ashes

Paranormal investigators like me first must try to debunk situations before we can actually deem them "paranormal." In today's blog you'll read about something that was thought could be paranormal and my three possible explanations. 

QUESTION:  When my Aunt spread my grandfather ashes, 3 minutes later I notice white smoke coming from the ground that was a foot away from the spreading of the ashes...... Could that have be his spirit??? 

ROB'S ANSWER:  It could be a number of things. 

1) moisture on the ground scattered as a result of dropping something on it 

2) dust stirred up from dropping something on it. 

3) It could be "fog" or "mist." Steam and water vapor describe the completely transparent gaseous form of water, whereas fog or mist is little droplets of liquid water suspended in the air. 

4) OR it could have been your grandfather's spirit coming back to visit to thank her for scattering his ashes as he requested. A medium would be needed to verify this, or you should have felt your grandfather's presence around. Those would help to clarify if the smoke was a natural or supernatural occurrence.

2020: At Thanksgiving Those Who Passed Still Sit at the Table

This Thanksgiving will be emotionally challenging for many of us who are staying home and taking precautions to avoid contracting or spreading the COVID19 virus during this pandemic. As such, it can be a more sad time, but it need not be! In today's blog you'll learn about spirits around you. For those who haven't passed, call them on the phone (not just texting), or do a video chat on Facebook messenger, Google hangouts or Facetime. You need not be sitting physically next to someone to enjoy their company - Spirits tell us that every day! 

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 loved ones (friends, family or pets) who have passed. Like living people and pets, 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! Rob

You can find more information about the signs spirits can give in my books  Kindred Spirits, Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead, Ghosts and Spirits, and Pets and the Afterlife 1 and 2.  (Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation doesn't address ghosts on holidays).

Paranormal Q and A: How do your medium abilities work?

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:

QUESTION: How do your medium abilities work? Can you see or hear the spirits, or is it just through their manipulation of physical properties?

ANSWER: Mediums are not all the same. We all have different abilities. Some hear or see ghosts and spirits, Others just sense them. I hear, sometimes see, feel, sense and have even smelled scents from them. I often sketch out a ghost whenever I go on a paranormal investigation (and so far, every sketch I made has been confirmed as how the ghost appears to the homeowner). They also telepathically talk with me, or show me things. So, I get messages in a variety of ways. Another thing many ghosts or spirits do is let me experience their pain of death (not to that extreme of course), but enough to let me know what they died of.

Q&A: Cat Won't Enter Room with Ashes

 As a medium who deals a great deal with pets, it's easier for me to understand pets who are

in spirit as well as those living... and how spirits affect the living animals. Here's a question someone sent me about their cat's avoidance of a room with ashes of a loved one.

QUESTION:  My daughter's cat was obsessed with my dad and wouldn't leave him alone whenever he was staying at home with us. He passed away 2 months ago and we have his ashes in his bedroom since he came back home to us the cat refuses to go in there even though whenever he wasn't with us when he was alive they went in there. Does that mean anything??? 

I'm worried that dad isn't at peace and that's why the cats are scared of going near him 

ANSWER: 

Your cat senses your dad's spirit from time to time in that room, and is confused and scared because your cat can't smell his scent. It's confusing for a pet to see a spirit (as they can) but have no sense of smell (which is harder for a spirit to generate, as it requires more energy). 

Please know your dad is at peace. Sometimes, however, the residual energy in someone's ashes act as a beacon to draw them back temporarily for a visit whenever someone who loved them comes into the room. In this case, the love your cat shared with your dad is enough to draw his spirit back for him to say "hello."  Just ask your dad to not appear to your cat in that room. He just needs to understand that the cat can't make sense of his spirit. 

You could also move the ashes out of the room for a day or two and see if the cat will stay in the room. The ashes also emit a small amount of residual energy, which may also be sensed by your cat, even if your dad's spirit doesn't show up. That energy may also unsettling to your daughter's cat. Either way, your dad has crossed over, and the cat just can't make sense of a spirit without a scent.

Paranormal Q and A: What are some ways having a career as a scientist has changed your perspective towards metaphysical studies?

 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:

Energy: Credit: Massage magazine

QUESTION: What are some ways having a career as a scientist has changed your perspective towards metaphysical studies? 

ANSWER: It's all about energy. physical energies and emotional energies are all part of the paranormal. The law of conservation of energy states that Energy cannot be destroyed only transformed, and as I write in my books, the energy within us (think of measuring brain activity of little electrical impulses fired by neurons) couples with our memories, personality and knowledge and we make a conscious choice to stay Earthbound as a ghost, or cross over as a spirit.

So, having the scientific background enables me to have a better grasp on energy, and how energy can be used to give signs from entities that include a physical touch, a noise, or temperature change.

Spencer the dog Sends 2 Signs to his Mom!

Earlier this month, Bridget wrote me to ask about whether she acknowledged a sign from her beautiful dog Spencer who had passed. It was a sign! In fact, Spencer sent two signs to his mom and one was in a very personal place he had visited with his mom. 

 Bridget said that November 11th was two years since Spencer passed. During the week of the anniversary of his passing,  she was at her mother-in-laws house on Cape Cod, and a caregiver came to visit. The caregiver showed up with a dog she had fostered and now has adopted.  The dog's name is Sully and he looked just like her dog Spencer. 

Dogs will lead us to other dogs that look like them to let us know they are still very much around us in spirit. 

Bridget said she broke down with happy tears and loved on Sully as much as she could . She said it was amazing.   

Spencer wasn't done though! With the help of a human in spirit, Spencer dropped a special coin to let his mom know he was along on a ride. Bridget said "There was a penny I found next to the drivers side of our car. The penny had the date 2002 on it , the year he was born." Even the location was a direct and personal link to Spencer. It's important to look for those personal connections. Bridget said, "I found the penny after coming out of a hotel on our way to upstate New York . It was the first time we stayed there without Spencer with us. It was raining so hard but I felt the need to pick it up anyways."

She said, "Looking back since Spence's passing , everything you share has been true. The signs that they give us are there we just need to be open to them. It really is amazing how the love and the bond still goes on . It’s beautiful actually. Thank you Rob "

Your Dog's Spirit is Training your new dog- Learn what spirits do in Pets and the Afterlife

Are you grieving after the loss of your dog or cat?  These books can help you work through your grief by showing you how their spirits are still very much around. One of the ways pets in the afterlife communicate is by training your new pet to do some habit they had. You can read about that and other signs in Pets and the Afterlife 1 and 2. 

The love we share with our pets never dies, and there's proof that our pets do communicate with us from the other side, just as people do who pass. I'm a scientist, medium, author and paranormal investigator who has had many experiences with ghosts and spirits, both pets and people, who have communicated messages that helped prove their identity. I've written Pets and the Afterlife and Pets and the Afterlife 2 to teach people how to recognize the signs from their pets in spirit. 

Pet parents like me think about and mourn the loss of their pets often. Sometimes the grief feels inconsolable. One way to work through that grief is to understand that our pets are around us in spirit from time to time and visit us. You just need to be able to recognize those signs. In my two books I explain many of the ways that pets communicate with the living, to convey their presence. 
   
I've received emails from people around the world who have confirmed signs from their pets and have received comfort knowing their pets are very much around in spirit from time to time.

Q&A: Can I Separate Some of My Dad's Ashes?

Here's a question about the separation of ashes. This person wanted to put some of her dad's

ashes in a keepsake and wondered if it was okay. Here's the question and my response.  

QUESTION:  My Dad recently passed away Aug 5th 2018.. My sister and I want to keep some of his ashes and spread the rest in the ocean where he loved to be. Will our Dad be at peace if we keep some of his ashes? Can they be separated? Thank you. 

 MY REPONSE: Yes, the ashes can be separated. They really are just remnants of your dad- and your dad's spirit is alive and well. Often people in their wills ask for their ashes to be spread in different places they liked. In spirit, it really doesn't matter to them where the ashes go- because their spirit will be around you.
