Negative Energy Week: Understanding, Coping and Cleansing

I am bringing this series back because there has been a big call for it! 

 As a paranormal investigator and medium, I've encountered a lot of negative energy. In the paranormal field paranormal energy can be residual or an intelligent haunt. In this week's SERIES of blogs, I'll cover different aspects of Negative Energy encountered in the paranormal field.

Residual energy is created by emotions of living people or animals. If the living being expressed angry, disappointment, anxiety, irritation, depression or fear in a building, those emotions will be impressed upon the walls of the room or throughout the entire structure. 

When a living person enters that structure or room, the walls emanate that negative emotional energy and if the living person is sensitive, they feel it. The negative energy can make them angry, disappointed, anxious, irritated, depressed or even fearful.  

Intelligent negative energy is basically a ghost with a bad attitude. Spirits who cross over, usually heal on the other side in the light, but earthbound ghosts maintain the very bad parts of their personality. For example, those would be people who were violent, killers, rapists, thieves, and mentally unstable. As such, if there is a ghost with a bad attitude in your home or wherever you go, they will emanate that negative energy and you'll be physically or mentally affected. That's why if you have a ghost in your home, you need to help cross them over.

Haunted Hotels in Wales: Bodelwyddan Castle Hotel

The Travel Channel put together a list of the top 10 haunted hotels in Wales, and over the next several
weeks you'll read about them! I also had the pleasure of visiting England 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: 

Bodelwyddan Castle Hotel

Bodelwyddan Castle Hotel specializes in selling short getaway packages complete with tribute band entertainment. While there are renovated rooms on the grounds, ghost hunters aren’t likely to experience any of the castle’s many paranormal stories without staying in the castle itself. Built in 1460, it underwent renovation in the 1800s during which time a skeleton is said to have been found in a wall near a chimney. Said skeleton is believed to remain in the castle’s wall. It’s unknown whose body it belonged to, and there are numerous ghosts who make appearances. There’s the Blue Lady who’s fond of the Sculpture Gallery and kitchen; the WWI solider who stuck around long after the castle served as a hospital; and the Cellar Man, who’s horror movie nickname is apt for a poltergeist that lives in the cellar and likes to pull women’s hair. Guests might not encounter him, but they might see the others, along with two Victorian girls who are drawn to the Toy Room.

Haunted Trails #1 - Bloody Lane Trail, Maryland

The Travel channel did a feature about Haunted Trails, and this is the first installment. The Bloody Lane Trail in Maryland.

Bloody Lane Trail, Maryland

This 1.5-mile trail in Antietam National Battlefield was the site of one of the deadliest Civil War battles in 1862. As a result, visitors report seeing ghostly soldiers both day and night. Many soldiers are buried around Burnside’s Bridge, and phenomena include witnessing balls of blue light, hearing drumming, gunfire and battlefield songs and smelling gunpowder.

ABOUT THE BATTLEFIELD (Now a National Park): The Bloodiest Day in American History--Hope for Freedom 23,000 soldiers were killed, wounded or missing after twelve hours of savage combat on September 17, 1862. The Battle of Antietam ended the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia's first invasion into the North and led Abraham Lincoln to issue the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation.  More information: https://www.nps.gov/anti/index.htm

Max and Shelby Lead a Mom to her Next Dog Adoption

 In January, 2021, the story of a beautiful Doberman pincher name Max was published in my  book Pets and the Afterlife 3: Messages from Spirit Dogs. Two months later, Max’s mom, Dani, wrote me to tell me about how Max and her other dog, Shelby, also in spirit, led her to the next dog she would adopt.

 That’s one of the ways that pets let us know they are still very much around. They pick out the best dog, cat, horse or bird for us to adopt. They also come back and help train the new pet to be good for their parent, and they train them to do some of the things they used to do when they were in the physical. So, you’ll likely see your new dog or cat doing one of the things your dog or cat in spirit used to do. That’s just proof that your pet in spirit is training them and is still very much around.

 Dani is a portrait artist at Dani Renee Portrait Art (danireneeportraits.com) and has been a Doberman mom for many years.

On Wed, Mar 3, 2021 at 3:38 PM Dani wrote me and said, “I just received the new book to see my special boy and so many others.” 

“They say your last one will bring you your next one . . . on Oct. 9th 2020 I brought home my new baby girl who is Max and Shelby's great niece.” 

 “I kept having a recurring dream, beginning before Shelby passed in Oct. of 2019, where I was holding a puppy and asking who she was and in my dream Shelby and Max kept saying, ‘She's yours mom, and her name is Vera.’”

(Photo: Vera. Credit: Dani Renee Portrait Art,  www.danireneeportraits.com)

 “After having this dream multiple times over the course of a year I looked it up and Vera means true faith.  Baby Vera was born on 8/12/20, Shelby and Max were born 12/2/08 . . . same numbers different order.  She came home exactly a year after losing Shelby.  I believe in furry angels.”

 There are so many things going on here. First, the dream was a wonderful sign. Second, Vera's name is unmistakably a gift. Third, the same numbers in the birthdates (in a different order) is another remarkable sign, and fourth, bringing Vera home 1 year to the day of losing Shelby is another amazing sign.

 Shelby and Max were working overtime to let Dani know they're around and helped pick Vera out, too. So, keep this in mind if you have a furkid on the other side and are considering adopting. Spirit will have a hand in bringing the pet to you that they want you to adopt!

Washington Metro Dachtoberfest Announces Ending- I Have wonderful memories there

 The Washington Metro Dachtoberfest announced they won't be holding their annual event anymore. This was such an incredible, wonderful experience that I've enjoyed for years. It leaves an emptiness. I want to thank everyone for making this happen for years. It holds many wonderful memories for me and I was fortunate enough to give several lectures about pets and the afterlife, and I've made some wonderful friends there. I'm going to squeeze my doxies tightly today.

You Were Led to Adopt Your New Pet from Spirit - Read Pets and the Afterlife

Our dogs and cats DO lead us to the dog or cat they want us to adopt after they pass. You'll learn that when the time is right. It will be either the new pet's name, or an odd circumstance that brings you to the right pet. And our pets in spirit don't stop there either. They will be around to help train them, too! Read more about Pets and the Afterlife by Rob Gutro. 
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. 

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.

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.

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.
