Haunted Hotels in Wales: Craig Y Nos Castle

The Travel Channel put together a list of the top 10 haunted hotels in Wales. The Travel channel has put together the most haunted hotels in Wales. I also had the pleasure of visiting the UK and you can read about my encounters with the ghosts there in my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation," available on Amazon.   Here's this week's haunting: 

Craig Y Nos Castle

Some haunted hotels downplay any ghostly associations, but not formidable Craig Y Nos Castle (meaning Rock of the Night), built around 1841. For one, the hotel runs a sister site covering the most haunted castles. It also holds regular ghost tours and events, such as seances and overnight paranormal investigations. Two main historical periods contribute to the hauntings; the first stems from former owner and once-renowned opera singer Adelina Patti, who took up residence in 1878. During her time there she added a private opera house, large enough to seat 150, which now serves as a wedding venue. Ghost tours visit the opera house's basement, and Patti herself is a known entity among the ghostly residents. After her death the castle became a tuberculosis hospital, and the former Children’s Ward is said to be the most haunted room on the property. Paranormal reports encompass children’s laughter, the sound of bouncing balls and even sightings.

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, 5 about people (Ghosts and Spirits and Lessons Learned From Talking to the Dead) and 3 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.

Nice Words about my Pets and the Afterlife Books - from Readers on my Facebook Page

 Good words are always so appreciated. I truly do appreciate them so I wanted to share these two notes from my facebook pages about my Pets and the Afterlife books. These folks made my day. If you have a pet who passed, or know someone who suffered the passing of a pet, send them a copy of any of my "Pets and the Afterlife" Books, Vol 1, 2 or 3!  They're all on Amazon. 

:Here are the nice notes -I'm sharing these because they were on my Public facebook page: 

Hey Rob!  I ordered 2 copies yesterday on Amazon!  One for me and one for my best friend.  I lost one of my dogs on December 28th.  Your books bring such comfort.  I have already experienced spirit signs from my Corgi who passed.  And another thank you for recommending Ruthie Larkin.  She has helped me so much in understanding my own abilities with spirit.   You both are a blessing for what you do.😍

You are a very special human being. I would say God bless you but it is obvious he already has. You will never know what you did for me when you contacted dog for me. I was ready to end my life. The grief was more than I could handle. Thank you so much for what you do to help grieving parents. All the best to you and your family in 2021

Paranormal Q and A: Have your Parents Crossed Over?

 

My mom and dad have crossed over

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: Did your parents tell you why they haven’t crossed the other side? If they did cross, are they telling you what’s on the other side?

ANSWER: Both my mom and dad have crossed over. 

My mother crossed over in the hospital where she passed when my dad walked in the room with her favorite dog in spirit, and in 2008 I watched my dad walk into the light at Cemetery! It was pretty crazy 

They just told me that the other side is is peace and its really free-flowing energy where they can go anywhere they want do anything they want see anything they want. They tell me that it's hard to describe and compare to the physical world, but that its peaceful.

Horses Ghosts and Spirits; Part 4: Seeing a Ghost?

 Today's blog is part 4 in a series about experiences horses had with ghosts or spirits. Animals have the ability to see Earthbound ghosts and spirits (whom crossed over and come back and visit). Today's blog is about a horse that may be seeing a ghost and my response.

DIGGER wrote:  There is a spot on our trail ride that our horses are terrified of. As we approach, they try to turn around. If we make them walk on, they snort and sweat and are very frightened. When we do turn around they literally bolt until away from area!

These are really slow forward moving Clydesdales and it is an effort to get them to trot let alone gallop. There is also a definite cold spot near a big concrete water tank(no lid) can they be sensing something bad? 

MY RESPONSE:   It may not be something bad that they're seeing- just someone who passed. Sometimes when horses, dogs or cats see spirits or ghosts, they can be unnerved by them. They can hear and see them because of the different physiology in their eyes (different cones and rods than humans allow them to see faster movement. Spirits move at that faster vibration). Also sometimes the entities don't have any scent because it takes a ghost or spirit a lot of energy to just appear, so the odor or scent is not as important when they appear. The lack of scent will confuse a horse, dog or cat.

In addition, dogs, cats and horses can also hear at higher decibel ranges. Spirit and ghosts are known to speak at frequencies that are inaudible to the human ear. Paranormal investigators use digital recorders pick up those sounds and voices.  

As for the cold spot, it very well could indicate a ghost or spirit. That's because it's all about energy. Entities need energy to manifest and communicate, so they literally draw that energy (of motion) out of the air and affect the air molecules. Fast moving molecules of air are present in warm air. when the energy is removed (by a ghost or spirit so they can energize), the  molecules slow down and the air cools.

Horses: Ghosts and Spirits Part 3: Secretariat's Ghost? or Spirit?

Today's blog is part 3 in a series about experiences horses had with ghosts or spirits. Animals have the ability to see Earthbound ghosts and spirits (whom crossed over and come back and visit).  Today's blog is about a story shared from a woman who read a story of a famous horse, that apparently visits his homestead. >

                   (Photo Credit: https://www.visitlex.com/guides/post/secretariats-grave/) 

WHO WAS SECRETARIAT? Secretariat was a legendary thoroughbred racehorse whose name reigns supreme in the history of racing. The stallion with a chestnut coat, three white “socks” and cocky demeanor not only became the first horse in 25 years to win the Triple Crown in 1973. 

QUESTION FROM SJ (A blog reader): "Have you ever heard the story about the famous Secretariat's ghost? I read about it online ages ago and I wish I'd kept the link! It's been claimed that at dusk people have heard the thundering hooves of a very fast horse at the Meadow Farm in Virginia (Secretariat's home/birthplace). I never got to see Secretariat race... I'd love to hear his spirit pound the dirt!"

MY TAKE ON THE STORY: I've never heard of a the ghost of Secretariat, but it could be a local legend. I've also been unable to find a reference to the story on-line.  My thought is that it's likely the SPIRIT of Secretariat, coming back to visit his childhood home. Ghosts are usually people or pets that stay behind because of unfinished business. Secretariat achieved more than most horses throughout history, so I don't see that as plausible. However, spirits do come back to visit places they grew up in, or loved to go. If Secretariat was seen running in the farm he was born, I'm sure it's his spirit (and he isn't an Earth bound ghost). 

VISITING SECRETARIAT'S BIRTHPLACE - The Meadow Event Park, formerly Meadow Stable, is the site where Secretariat was born, raised and first trained. According to the website, educational signage is posted at the historic barns and other points of interest. There are tours of the park and it features a look at the original yearling and stallion barns built in the 1930s. This includes the stall in the yearling barn where Secretariat stayed as a colt in 1971. Also on the tour is Secretariat’s foaling shed where he was born on March 30, 1970. Though it was moved from its original location on the north side, it is the same structure and is listed on the state and national historic registers.

BURIAL PLACE: Secretariat is buried in Kentucky.  Secretariat’s grave at Claiborne Farm in Paris, just outside Lexington.

Horses See Ghosts and Spirits: Part 2

 Today's blog is part 2 in a series about experiences horses had with ghosts or spirits. Animals have the ability to see Earthbound ghosts and spirits (whom crossed over and come back and visit).  Today's blog is about a story shared from a woman who has horses and her horse appears to see the ghost of a horseman who lived on her land. Here's the story.

(Image credit: Uncharted Lancaster) 

Kelly told me, "I know my horse sees the long deceased horseman from our Club area. The man is buried on the hill above left of our parcel of land. There's an indoor arena there, and it happens at night or at dusk when I am leading him in or out of the indoor arena. It is always after I have shut off the lights off.  My horse jumps out of his skin about 90% of the time so I know he sees something." 

 Dogs, cats and horses can also hear at higher decibel ranges. Spirit and ghosts are known to speak at frequencies that are inaudible to the human ear. Paranormal investigators use digital recorders pick up those sounds and voices. 

 Further, they have different cones and rods in their eyes than humans, that enable them to better sense motion. If you want to know more about the vision of horses, I suggest visiting: https://www.thesprucepets.com/understanding-how-your-horse-sees-1887324
