Q&A: Do Spirits Experience Time/Can They Go Back in Time?

 Recently I received an email from Chris who pondered some good questions about spirits
(who have crossed over) and time. Below are his questions and my answers, based on my experience.

1)  How do you think spirits experience time? 

Spirits who have crossed over don't experience time, but they do acknowledge time passing on Earth (and everywhere throughout the cosmos) as they see their living loved ones age. That's why when it's our time, they know when to be waiting for us.

2) Do you think a spirit could return to a point in its past to relieve events? 

I don't know the answer to whether spirits can time travel, but I would assume not. The reason is that if they could, they could go back and give warnings to themselves or others to avoid injury, accident or death. 

 I say that because spirits can influence the living to do things in present day to keep us safe. 

  That said, I do think spirits are stuck in linear time like the living.

Paranormal is a term used to describe occurrences that can’t be explained by ordinary scientific measures. They are outside the norm. Many words leap to mind when speaking of the paranormal. Ghosts, hauntings, spirit, or poltergeist name a few. However, an extraterrestrial and clairvoyance also fall into the category, too.

ABOUT ROB'S BOOKS:

I've written 8 books on true paranormal topics, from earthbound ghosts to spirits of loved ones who have crossed over. I'm known as a pet medium, meaning I can communicate with pets who passed, but I also communicate with people. That includes earthbound entities that I call Ghosts; or Spirits of loved ones who have crossed over.

Below is a summary of my books. I wrote them to Educate people on how ghosts and spirits exist, how and when they communicate, how they use energy, and how to look for signs. All of these books are available on Amazon and all under $10, because I want people to learn about them and get comfort that their loved ones are still around in spirit. Check them out!

BOOK SUMMARIES

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

Case Files of Inspired Ghost Tracking

In this collection of IGT cases, you’ll read about a very haunted Maryland mansion, many ghosts of Baltimore’s Federal Hill, the Burned Ghost, ghosts of two different time periods in one building, the dark things Ouija boards brought into homes, a ghostly attachment, a Steelworker’s ghost, poltergeist activity, the famous IGT “Double Murder Ghost Investigation” and many more. You’ll also learn about ghosts vs. spirits, energy and lots of Q&A. So, come along with us on these IGT investigations and learn that the paranormal is quite active!

Kindred Spirits: When a Medium Befriends a Spirit

It's uncommon for a medium really get know a spirit so well that the living person considers the spirit a best friend. But that's exactly what happened to medium and paranormal investigator Rob Gutro. When Rob met his partner Tom in 2005, Ed's spirit came along for the ride. Rob never knew Ed in life, but Tom did. Now, Ed often communicates to Rob and has revealed his sense of humor, his heart, and helped solved the mystery of his passing. Ed's "Spirit Treasure Hunt" showed his family he's with them, too. Ed even sent a look-alike to rescue Rob during a vacation in England. As you read about this special spirit named Ed and his sometimes funny communications, you'll learn signs your loved ones send. This book will teach you how to be more aware of messages from your loved ones in spirit.

Pets and the Afterlife 2

Pets and the Afterlife 2 is a follow up to Pets and the Afterlife. The book explains how al pets can provide signs from the afterlife, includes messages Rob received and stories from others. These stories show ways dogs and cats are linked to their loved ones on Earth. The personal detail that pets can convey is amazing including one dog who gave specifics on his unique and favorite place in the world and spelled out his grandmother's name with a different pronunciation! Read about a dog spirit's warning to pet parents, and how various cats and dogs provided a variety of signs to their parents.

Most Haunted Hotels in Wales: Margam Castle

The Travel channel has put together the most haunted hotels in Wales, and this is one of them! 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: 

Margam Castle

Margam Castle is the only property on this list that doesn’t offer lodging. But bear with us. The Tudor Gothic castle is open to the public, and the building doesn’t just look haunted. The imposing structure has been around since the early 1800s (restored following a major fire in 1977), and contains quite a few ghosts. Former gamekeeper Robert Scott is a regular after being killed by a hunter. The angry poltergeist is often spotted on the main staircase, one of two areas open to visitors. The other area is the entrance hall, although events are also held in the library, dining room and drawing room, and castle tours are sometimes offered.

 In addition to Scott, there are reports of children in Victorian dress. Sometimes they can be heard laughing and playing. There are also tales of a blacksmith who wanders the castle’s grounds. For those really disappointed about not being able to spend the night, consider renting the entire castle for an evening of ghost hunting as the next best thing. At almost $800 the cost is eye-watering, but you can split the price among a max of 30 people for nine hours of potential frights.

Why Would Pets Come Around People who are Dying?

Recently, my friends at Keystone State Paranormal shared a story about a cat named Oscar that appears to have an ability to predict impending deaths of patients in a Rhode Island nursing home. The article mentions the cat has identified people who are about to pass when he lays next to them. The assumption is that the cat uses scent, but in today's blog you'll read why I think something else may come into play as well. 

   The article cites a possible explanation as scent. The article cites that it is perhaps biochemicals emitted by the body's dying cells that Oscar smells.  

  I checked if that happens, and found that five chemicals are part of a group of molecules called esters, which are also responsible for  strong odors emitted by fruits like pineapples. The human smell of death is a little bit fruity. You can read more in this article from Seeker.com (Click).

  To me, it makes sense in terms of scent because cats and dogs have many more sensory receptors than humans do. However, there's another aspect I think comes into play. That's reading a person's emotional energy. 

   Animals can sense emotional energy and they know when our emotional energy is waning to dangerously low levels , i.e., we lost our will to live. They tune into that and they come and stay with us out of love, so we will not be alone.

Paranormal Q&A: Does Inspired Ghost Tracking Always Cross Ghosts Over?

QUESTION: I read that the  Inspired Ghost Tracking paranormal group tries to cross ghosts over if they are so willing. Is this relatively normal for paranormal groups? What is observed on TV is edited down dramatically but you hardly see this taking place. The shows usually have the groups making contact and then leaving which seems kinda mean. The ghost finally get someone who can hear them and then the listeners leave and the ghosts are stuck rattling around the location.

ANSWER: Crossing ghosts over is becoming more the norm now, fortunately, because paranormal groups better understand the humanity of being a ghost. That is, a ghost is an earthbound entity (former person or animal) who chose to stay behind and got stuck. Usually ghosts realize it's like being trapped in an isolation prison for the rest of their afterlife and want help crossing over. In the earlier days of "ghost hunting" television crews and "paranormal investigators" refused to help ghosts and just wanted to catch them on video or audio. It was really cruel. 

   So, even if ghosts are hesitant to cross over, we stay as long as it takes to gain their trust (they are the exact same as living people, but without a body). Helping them als depends on their personality. If they're stubborn, it takes us longer to cross them over- and when we don't get cooperation, we open a portal to the other side and connect to their relatives in spirit and let them do the convincing!  Either way, we strive to cross them all over!

Most Haunted Hotels in Wales: The Thomas Arms Hotel

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: 

The Thomas Arms Hotel 

Though a pub and not a grand castle, The Thomas Arms Hotel is no less haunted. This haunted pub is supposedly home to lots of ghostly activity along the lines of footsteps, a scary cellar and unexplained noises in the middle of night. Perhaps the best story is security camera footage that the landlord shared online in 2014, revealing a transparent form suddenly materializing in the middle of a room. The form appears to briefly take shape before creepily heading up the wall to possibly haunt somebody’s dreams. The same landlord claims that he and his wife also witnessed a fish bowl slide across, and off, the pub’s bar. They attributed the spiteful poltergeist action to the scary 19th-century cellar.The Travel Channel put together a list of the top 10 haunted hotels in Wales, and here is one of them!
