U.K. Hauntings: the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic in Cornwall

 The United Kingdom has some of the most haunted sites. National Geographic published an article highlighting some of them and this is one in that series.   I encountered many ghosts in England, too, and you can read about them in my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation," available on Amazon.  Here's this week's UK haunting:

Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, Cornwall
Opened in 1951 by occultist Cecil Williamson, this is one of the world’s largest and most spellbinding collections of folk magic artifacts. The independent museum, found in the scenic village of Boscastle, is packed with all manner of occult curios, including statues of horned gods, masks, books, artwork, dolls and taxidermy, alongside informative displays that recount the intriguing history of witchcraft in Britain. For an extra touch of local Cornish magic, Merlin’s Cave — purportedly where the legendary warlock once lived — is a few miles down the coast, tucked beneath Tintagel Castle.

Part 3: Paranormal Q&A With Rob Gutro, Medium

 Here are some questions I received lately about various paranormal topics, and my responses based on my experiences:

5) The other idea I wanted to run by was the notion of the personality of the deceased being only partial, not total. Do you have reason to think that the intelligences/entities involved in hauntings are total personalities, or that they are more like partial energies, perhaps smaller parts of a greater, multidimensional personality which has yet to fully recollect all aspects of its total personality? 

 A: There are two aspects to my answer: Intelligent and residual hauntings. First,  all hauntings are total personalities. Ghosts have intelligence, knowledge and personality from their previous physical life (just as spirits do).   Second, when that ghost was alive, they could have also impressed their living energy upon an object, making for a residual haunt that recurs only when additional energies are brought into the area to replay the residual haunting image.

 6) Is it furthermore possible that the results of what we see as hauntings are actually a kind of electromagnetic fingerprint occurring when a now passed entity is simply remembering or recollecting what once happened to it?

A: Ghosts are really beings of energy (electromagnetic) with a consciousness. If they have chosen to dwell on earth, thus, I call a ghost, then they can interact and answer questions. It is residual emotional energy impressed upon an  object on or an area that recurs (but doesn't have intelligence, it's like a thumbprint on glass when the sun shines through it and it reappears)>

UK Haunting: Edinburgh, Scotland's Vaults, Bodysnatching and more

 The United Kingdom has some of the most haunted sites. National Geographic published an article highlighting some of them and this is one in that series.   I encountered many ghosts in England, too, and you can read about them in my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation," available on Amazon.  Here's this week's UK haunting:

Edinburgh Old Town
With blackened granite buildings, narrow, lamp-lit closes and an iconic castle, Auld Reekie still has an undeniably spooky air. Big draws include the subterranean Mary King’s Close, where 17th-century townsfolk lived, worked and died, and a tour through the chilling Edinburgh Vaults. 

A wee dram in the supposedly haunted The White Hart Inn — the city’s oldest pub — is also in order, as is a visit to Greyfriars Kirkyard. At this graveyard, an iron grille (known as a mortsafe) sits above a pair of graves, designed to deter the likes of Victorian bodysnatching serial killers William Burke and William Hare. 

Visitors can also inspect the last resting places of William McGonagall, Thomas Riddell and Elizabeth Moodie, whose names allegedly inspired author JK Rowling — a former resident of the city — to create very similar monikers for Harry Potter characters.

Part 2: Paranormal Q&A With Rob Gutro, Medium

 Here are some questions I received lately about various paranormal topics, and my responses based on my experiences:

3) What about hauntings in places below ground which have little to no human involvement that are normally associated with hauntings (deaths, suffering, murder etc.). Some seem to have supercharged paranormal activity. Mines, cave systems, tunnels, and even military bunkers.

A: Hauntings do take place in tunnels, etc. but they are also places where people or animals lived or died.  All it takes is one person who worked in or visited a place, or who died accidentally or was murdered in a place, to haunt it.

 

4)  If we think about the other side of the coin, what are the most haunted 'high' places? There don't seem to be anywhere as many. Spiritualistic traditions worldwide seem to associate being higher up with spiritual clarity, such as yogis, monks and other meditation practitioners purposefully seeking physically higher and more difficult to access locations such as mountains to practice meditation.

 A: Since spirits don't "haunt" or stay in one place, that explains why there are no "good haunts by spirit." Spirits come and go and never stay in a fixed position, because they continually stay in the energies that flow through the universe.

Haunted U.K.: The Witches of Pendle, Lancashire

 The United Kingdom has some of the most haunted sites. National Geographic published an article highlighting some of them and this is one in that series.   I encountered many ghosts in England, too, and you can read about them in my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation," available on Amazon.  Here's this week's UK haunting: 

Pendle, Lancashire
Nowhere in England is more synonymous with witches than this corner of the North East. In 1612, 12 locals were charged with murder by witchcraft, with 10 of them sent to the gallows, one found not guilty and another dying in prison. The trials are noted as being recorded in remarkable detail by the court clerk. Want to follow in their fateful footsteps? The Walking with Witches Trail passes through the area (no broomstick required), taking in key sites, including churches, a quarry and the village of Roughlee, where a lonely statue of accused witch Alice Nutter stands.

The Pendle witch trials of 1612 were some of the most well-known in British history. Alice Nutter was one of the accused, and visitors can follow in her footsteps on a themed trail through the Lancashire countryside. A statue of the young woman stands in the village of Roughlee.

Part 1: Some Paranormal Q&A With Rob Gutro, Medium

Here are some questions I received lately about various paranormal topics, and my responses based on my experiences:

1)  Could there be a relationship between earth's topography and the relative density of what we call the Astral plane?  

A: There could be, but it's never been studied before and hauntings most often happen where people live (which is most usually not on top of mountains).   

   On a related note,  I do know that some people and cultures have cited "ley lines," that is, lines that mark "earth energies" where cultures have built structures. It's not widely accepted though. -  There's also Earth's magnetic field to consider, but the energies are mostly at the poles, so that would not lend itself to "powering paranormal activity" in the mid-latitudes. 

2) Water always runs to the lowest point. Also, there seems to be a universal recognition of the lowest parts of a building (cellars, basements, tunnels) as either being most active, OR the residence of the densest/darkest energies.. what people would usually call the most 'evil' spirits.

A:  True about water, but I've found that hauntings in buildings can be on any floor (although Hollywood films usually make basements more frightening - either those or attics!)  - Ghosts usually haunt spaces they are most familiar with, so I usually find them on the first or 2nd floors of structures/homes.

With My Appreciation

 Providing readings from pets to their grieving parents is an amazing and emotional thing for me. What's also amazing are the parents of the pets and their thoughtfulness and kindness to me. All I ask for is the small fee for the reading, and my real reward is confirmation from the pet parents. 

   One couple in the U.S. whose dog provided multiple amazing signs, was very appreciative and overly generous and it choked me up. A woman in Singapore for whom I did a reading made a donation to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in memory of my dog, Dolly who passed in 2020 (and who is on the cover of my Pets and the Afterlife 3 book: Messages from Spirit Dogs).  

  These thoughtful and generous gestures have brought tears to my eyes. Thank you all for your support and kindness. You have all become the examples of unconditional love that our pets teach us to be. 

 

Wow! My New Book achieved "Amazon Best-seller status" : Ghosts and Spirits:Explained

On the first day of last month (October), I published my latest book - explaining the differences and similarities between Earthbound ghosts and spirits (who have crossed over). I was honored when I saw it reached "Amazon best-seller status" that first week. 

WHAT MAKES A BEST-SELLER?  Best-seller status on Amazon is any book that achieves a ranking within the top 100 of any category. "Ghosts and Spirits: Explained," reached #59 under the "New Age Channeling" category under Kindle (e-books) and did pretty respectably in several other categories. 

BACKGROUND ON THE BOOK: Back in 2009, I published my first book called "Ghosts and Spirits: Insights from a Medium." It was when I was first starting to use my abilities and developed a foundational understanding. In 2021, I took that book out of print, because it needed a lot of Updating based on the last 12 years of what I've learned. So, the new book contains some cool stories, (like how my dad helped me prove to my family that his spirit attended his own funeral, and how I accidentally lived in a haunted house), and lots and lots of Paranormal Questions and Answers; a more in-depth understanding of how Energy is the foundation of the paranormal and why it's so important to both entities. I address orbs, ectoplasm, poltergeists, explain cold spots and so much more! 

It's available on Amazon for just $7.99 and Ebook is $3.99. I made it as inexpensive as the publisher would let me, so YOU could learn all about ghosts and spirits, who and how they exist, and how they communicate.

Amazing confirmations from Pet Spirit readings I've done this weekend

 WOW- AMAZING CONFIRMATIONS - It's another evening of amazing confirmations from Pet Spirit readings I've done.

1) One person wrote back: Rob, I want to thank you for the amazing reading! Everything you mentioned was so accurate,

2) A dog in spirit told me about rotten teeth. The response was "He died from his rotten teeth. At the time I didn’t have the money to fix it and it gave him the infection that made him so sick. I’m totally shocked."

(BTW, I'm currently booking readings for April 2022- https://ghostsandspiritsinsights.blogspot.com/2021/08/how-to-get-short-email-reading-from-pet.html)
