Paranormal Q&A: Has Inspired Ghost Tracking Ever Said "Can't Help This Situation"?

QUESTION: . Has the Inspired Ghost Tracking paranormal group ever gotten to a location and said "Nope-can't help this situation" either the people tied to location, owners, residents, etc. are generally unwilling to any terms or conditions of your group; or "Nope-this energy is just too weird to deal with" and you guys admit to the requestor that what is going on is beyond your capacities.

ANSWER  The IGT group screens potential investigations thoroughly before we go to a private residence to ensure we can assist. If we can't and a specialist is needed, Margaret Ehrlich, the manager of IGT refers the client to someone who can help them. 

 

 Each homeowner fills out paperwork that explains their experiences, the types of events that happen, the dates and times and parts of the house. After they email the report to IGT, Margaret conducts a thorough phone interview with them to determine their needs and assess whether the team can help them. 

  There have been a couple of instances where the earth bound ghost was stubborn and powerful and we had to return. Clearing a home of an Earthbound ghost isn't as easy as asking them to leave. Ghosts have their own personalities and can be stubborn (and even hateful) and decide to stay. If that happens, we usually open a portal to the other side and call upon their relatives to convince them to cross over. 

Haunted Hotels in Wales: Ruthin Castle Hotel

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: 

Ruthin Castle 

Hotel Ruthin Castle Hotel is a luxurious hotel with a spa located next to the castle’s former moat. (The original castle dates back to the 1200s; the current iteration went up in 1826.) Another grey ghost occupies Ruthin, known here as Lady Grey. She’s been tied to the property ever since she was put to death for killing her husband’s mistress. For reasons only known to her, Lady Grey prefers frequenting the banquet hall and battlements. Through the years the castle also served as a private hospital, perhaps the source for other spectral activity that includes a soldier wearing one glove and a ghostly little girl.

Franklin the Dachshund's Spirit Drops in for a Birthday Week Appearance

Our red, short-haired Dachshund Franklin passed on May 8, 2020 at the age of 16 years old. This week, On March 15, just three days before what would have been his 17th birthday he made a pretty surprising visual appearance. Here's what happened, and why it's not uncommon with dogs in spirit.>>

There are 2 dog beds in our kitchen. One is a large bed next to sliding glass doors. The other is a small rounded bed that is at the end of cabinet run.  The little bed sits in front of 2 feet of wall before the wall opens into our living room. So if you walk into the kitchen from the living room and look down to your right, you'll see the small rounded dog bed there. 

(Photo Memory: Franklin loved sitting in that small kitchen bed) 

That was one of Franklin's favorite spots to sit. 

On Monday, March 15, I finished work in my upstairs office and had just come downstairs to go into the kitchen to make dinner. As I turned the corner, I saw Franklin's shadow in the bed!  

Our other dogs, Tyler and Dash were behind me, so I instantly KNEW it was Franklin!  

SO, WHY DID HE APPEAR? He made an appearance because this week is his birthday (actually, it's March 18th, the day I am publishing this).  Spirits of our loved ones, whether pets or people, will appear around birthdays, anniversaries (with pets, it's adoption or passing dates) or holidays. They make these quick appearances to let us know they are still very much around us from the other side.

WHY DID HE APPEAR AS A SHADOW?  As I've written in my Pets and the Afterlife series of books, spirits are energy. When they don't have quite enough energy to appear in full color, they appear as a shadow. Further, they can't maintain that appearance long, so his little shadow quickly disappeared, but not before I saw it and was able to identify him. 

READ MORE SIGNS - You can read more signs in my series of books called "Pets and the Afterlife" - and there are three different volumes. All are available on Amazon and all have been Amazon best-sellers. In fact, Franklin's passing and first amazing signs are in my latest book "Pets and the Afterlife 3: Messages from Spirit Dogs" that debuted at Number 1 on Amazon under "Pet Loss/Grief" on January 7, 2021. 

ABOUT  : Pets and the Afterlife 3: Messages from Spirit Dogs

This third volume in a series of books authored by Rob Gutro on pet communications from the afterlife focuses solely on how dogs and how they communicate from spirit. In addition, there is a special chapter by a licensed professional on how to cope with grief.

Through personal stories, pet parents relate how their dogs in spirit gave them signs and messages either directly or through a reading with Rob. This book will teach you how to recognize signs and receive messages on your own, and how to work through your grief. You'll learn when it comes to spirit there is no such thing as a coincidence.

"Your books made me understand a sign that our dog sent me, when she had died. It is true that, without the guidance you give, such signs would remain odd little events with no explanation." - Grazia Piombo 

Paranormal Q and A: What was your first case? A Haunted Book Store!

Each week, I answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one  about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). and this week's QUESTION IS:  What was your first case? 

ANSWER:  A Haunted Book store! Research into the property also helped uncover the identity of the ghost and it was surprising.   

Although I encountered many ghosts on my own, my first "case" with the Inspired Ghost Tracking Group of Maryland was at a haunted book store in Baltimore called the "Book Escape." The Book Escape moved to a new location in 2020, but is still in the Federal Hill neighborhood of Baltimore. 

 I wrote about that investigation in my book "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead." 

 The bookstore reported that often the book they were looking for would be placed on the floor of the room in which it was filed. They also told of a glass sliding across a counter. I went into the investigation with another medium and the manager of the group, and we were able to figure out the identity of the ghost, and I even got a photo of him that I put in the book! 

Inside the Book Escape

The Washington Post sent a reporter and videographer to cover the investigation and published as story about it, too.

Haunted Hotels In Wales: Nanteos

The Travel Channel put together a list of the top 10 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: 

Nanteos 

 Nanteos is one of the most luxurious options on this list, so its rooms don't look creepy. But don’t let that fool you: The hotel doesn’t try to hide its haunted associations. In fact, Nanteos devotes an entire page to its extensive hauntings, many of which involve strange noises, sightings and objects moving around. Due to space limitations we’ve narrowed down the stories, but rest assured everything from the woods to the stables are quite haunted. (Though built in 1739, the grounds have been occupied since at least the 1500s.) For example, former groom William Griffiths, killed by the head gardener with a rake in 1782, still lurks among the shrubbery. Inside, previous lady of the house Elizabeth Owen, dubbed the Grey Lady, regularly roams the property at night searching for the jewels that she hid shortly before her death. In other hauntings, a group of ghostly visitors have been heard in the entrance hall in the middle of the night by different guests. Perhaps the most unusual occurrence? Guests who heard an argument coming from a former (and empty) laundry room one night. The next morning they found a stack of towels on the floor with a bar of soap on top; of course the staff knew nothing about this.

Meet the Alleyway Ghost and More in a new book "Case Files of Inspired Ghost Tracking"

 A new book called "Case Files of Inspired Ghost Tracking," by best-selling paranormal author Rob Gutro takes readers on paranormal investigations into private and historic homes where ghosts were traumatizing families. 
  You'll read about the Alleyway Ghost in the pages of Case Files. You'll learn why he's there and why he died there, just as we did when the paranormal investigators met him in the alleyway behind a house in the Baltimore area. Rob even sketched him out and got confirmation from the homeowner that that was indeed the ghost they saw walking around in their house! 
  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.
