This beautiful estate dates back to 1852 and holds a great deal of history, beauty and hauntings. This home sits on one of Maryland's earliest land-grant properties, with direct connections to the Star-Spangled Banner. It is also home to the third oldest beech tree in the state. In October 2021, IGT Mediums Troy, Rob and Tom visited the manor and encountered several of the many ghosts who dwell there, even crossing one over at the time. Winn Brewer and Josh Clark, managers of this historic B and B will share some experiences and Troy and Rob will discuss highlights of the investigation. This property previously had 2 paranormal groups (without mediums) investigate.

A Sign from our dog Sprite's spirit while on Vacation!

One of the ways our pets in spirit let us know they are around is to lead us to another dog that resembles them. That's exactly what happened when we took a vacation in Greece in Sept. 2021.

One of the islands we visited was Santorini.  We visited the picturesque town of Oia which is famous for "cave houses" which are white buildings with brilliant blue church rooftops. During the one hour we walked around in the maze of streets filled with shops, the heat index was again over 100 degrees Fahrenheit /37.7 degrees Celsius, and it was a sunny day - truly a "dog day of summer."  

Being dog dads, we really missed our two dogs at home, and had only seen a few dogs (maybe 2) during our trip.

While getting lost in the maze of tiny alleyways of shops, we just "happened" to walk by a dress shop where we saw a little red, smooth, dachshund mix laying in a comfy bed in the doorway of a dress shop. He also had a little stuffed lamb toy, just like our kids have. 

   Further, he resembled our dog Sprite (who passed in 2013) who was also a red, smooth Dachshund mix! 

  That told us that Sprite was with us on vacation! 

   You never know when a loved one is going to show up and lead you to someone that looks like them - That's one way spirits tell us they are with us.  

   As it turned out, the little dog sat there only a few minutes and went back inside because of the volume of tourists walking by. So, we walked by at the right time to get a good glimpse of him. That's not a coincidence. That was Sprite's doing! 

 Just seeing him in the midst of the tourist chaos made our day.

Haunted Trails - Iron Goat Trail, Washington

This is an installment of Haunted Trails that were covered from the Travel Channel.

Iron Goat Trail, Washington

The Iron Goat Trail in Stevens Pass in the Cascades was the site of one of the worst railroad accidents in U.S. history. In 1910 an avalanche knocked two trains off the tracks while they were snowed in at the Wellington depot, killing almost 100 people. After the accident the Great Northern Railroad abandoned the tracks and built new routes and tunnels. The abandoned tunnels and snowsheds still exist on the trail, and hikers share tales of hearing voices, screams and sounds around the crash site of Tye Creek in the (now ghost town) of Wellington. However, hikers aren’t allowed on the trail at night, and under no circumstances should anyone enter the tunnels, which are all in danger of collapse—if they haven’t already.

The Hauntings of England's Windsor Castle

 There are a lot of haunted places in the United Kingdom and I wrote a book about my experiences with all of the ghosts I met there. You can read about my encounters with the ghosts there in my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation," available on Amazon.   GetReadingUK on-line spotlighted a couple of haunted places and this one I did visit.. and there were some weird things going on. Here's the  GetreadingUK story: 

Windsor Castle

If it’s royal ghosts you’re after, then we have something for you too.

Windsor Castle has been home to Kings and Queens for hundreds of years.

King Henry VIII was buried in the grounds of the castle and many say they have seen his ghost pacing around while groaning and members of staff claim they have seen his ghost haunting the deanery cloisters.

The Deanery is also supposedly haunted by a the spirit of a young boy who screams: “I don’t want to go riding today!”, phantom footsteps heard nearby have also been attributed to him.

Members of the Royal family have even acknowledged the existence of Queen Elizabeth I in the Royal Library. Many claim to have heard her high heels on the bare floor boards and seen the figure dressed in black pass through walls.

Summary:

It can often seem more crushing to lose a beloved family pet than we would think. Rob Gutro helps us better understand why the loss of a furry child is so devastating - and, offers us a solution to touch base with them on the other side of what many call the Rainbow Bridge.

Episode Notes:

Rob Gutro is an author, paranormal investigator and medium with Inspired Ghost Tracking of Maryland. He's become known as a pet medium though he communicates with both pets and people who have passed. Since he was a child he could receive messages from ghosts or spirits (who have crossed over). His latest book is ""Pets and the Afterlife 3: Dog Spirit Signs." As a scientist, he also provides some scientific explanations about how energy is the baseline for the afterlife and the medium that entities use to communicate.

The United Kingdom's Haunted "Ostrich" Inn

There are a lot of haunted places in the United Kingdom. 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.   GetReadingUK on-line spotlighted a couple of haunted places I didn't get to, though, and here's one of them:

The Ostrich

The Ostrich Inn

The inn on High Street in Slough was only recently renovated, but the ghoulish history lives on.

The 12th-century inn is regularly attended by drinkers and diners, but they’re not the only ones.

More than 60 people have been reportedly killed in the inn, many of whom were slaughtered in their sleep by former inn keeper Jarman and his wife in the 17th century.

It is said that the murderous couple put trap doors in the floor boards and tipped rich guests into a vat of boiling liquid while they slept.

Jarman and his wife would then steal their money and sell their horses.

The murderous couple were eventually hung for robbery and murder, but that hasn’t stopped them visiting. Employees and visitors have reported sudden temperature drops, strange noises, voices and even sightings of ghostly figures.

Guests have reported numerous sightings of ghostly fingers on the top floor of the inn.

Pet Spirits Influence Things in Nature to send signs - Read Pets and the Afterlife

Spirits of dogs, cats and other domesticated pets can influence things in nature to give you a sign of their presence. Insects and birds can display really odd behavior at certain times (not every time) whenever you may be thinking of a spirit, so check the date. Note the behavior. Learn how that works in Rob Gutro's Pets and the Afterlife books. 

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.

The Haunted George Hotel in Pangbourne, United Kingdom

There are a lot of haunted places in the United Kingdom and I wrote a book about my experiences with all of the ghosts I met there.You can read about my encounters with the ghosts there in my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation," available on Amazon.    GetReadingUK on-line spotlighted a couple of haunted places I didn't get to, though, and here's one of them:

 

The George Hotel in Pangbourne

This spooky location can be found in The Square, Pangbourne. The hotel used to be a coaching inn, back in the 12 th century. Now it is believed to be haunted by a ghostly witch named Betty Price.

It’s believed that Betty used to hide in the cellars, which used to flood regularly, because they were so close to the water. One day, when the cellar was filling with water, Betty failed to escape and placed a curse on the building before she eventually drowned.

It’s said that she is still roaming the corridors of the hotel to this day, looking for her captors.
