In my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation" I wrote about my encounter with the ghost of Anne Boleyn, one of Henry VIII's wives in the Tower of London. Recently, Royal Central UK did a story about others who met Anne's ghost in the very same place, Here's the story (and a link follows to my book about my encounter with Anne and many other ghosts of England>>>
25th October 2020
King Henry VIII’s second wife, Anne Boleyn. The former queen – who was also the mother of Queen Elizabeth I – was accused of adultery and beheaded at the Tower of London on 19 May 1536. She is said to be buried at the church of St Peter Ad Vincula within the Tower’s walls.
Since her death almost 500 years ago, there have been countless reports of ghostly activity at several homes and palaces associated with Anne Boleyn, many of which have been attributed to re-appearances of the former queen.
A famous example was in 1864 when Captain J. D. Dundas was living in the Tower of London. The story goes that one day he looked out of the window and noticed a Yeoman Warder acting strangely whilst standing in the courtyard where Anne Boleyn had been beheaded. He appeared to challenge something, which Dundas said: “Looked like a whitish, female figure sliding towards the soldier”. The guard charged through the form with his bayonet, then fainted. He was only saved from a prison sentence because Dundas testified as a witness at his court-martial.
Another sighting at the tower occurred within Anne’s final resting place of the church of St Peter Ad Vincula. The guard on duty said that he saw a “flickering light inside late one night”. Plagued by curiosity, the Captain of the Guard climbed a ladder to see inside. He recalled seeing a procession of Ladies and Knights in Tudor-style dress – led by Anne Boleyn – parading down the aisle of the chapel. He vividly remembered the former queen stopping by her grave in front of the altar before disappearing.
The Tower of London is not the only place where Anne’s ghost has been spotted. In what sounds like something straight out of horror film, an apparition of her headless body has been seen numerous times at Windsor Castle, running through the halls in the Dean’s Cloister whilst clutching her severed, screaming head.
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.

Today I joined Hosts Ralph Torlucci & Damian Gray of Black Lotus podcasts to talk about pet spirits from my three "Pets and the Afterlife" books, and my book "Kindred Spirits" how a Medium Befriended a Spirit." Damian and Ralph host 1 hour podcast that airs on the Paranormal News Network: https://paranormalnewsnetwork.podbean.com/ - The Podcast will be published on Wednesday July 14th, so I'll post a reminder and a link to it. (I misunderstood and thought I would be appearing on their YouTube show, but I have a face for podcasts!). LOL
ANSWER: I agree. "Heaven" and "Hell" are man-made ideals. Joining the energies that run through the universe and crossing that barrier from Earth (into the light) can be thought akin to a "heaven" or paradise if you will. "Hell" is actually being stranded on earth as a ghost, where you can't communicate with the spirits- it's like torture for eternity.
