Imagine Solving the Mystery of Your Death- This Spirit Did- in the book "Kindred Spirits" by Rob Gutro

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. Gutro, best-selling Amazon.com paranormal author, medium and paranormal investigator recently published his story "Kindred Spirits: When a Medium Befriends a Spirit."  In fact, the spirit of Ed helped solve the mystery of his own death.

When Rob met his partner Tom in 2005, Ed's spirit came along for the ride. Tom knew Ed but Rob never met him since Ed died in 1996. Over the last 14 years, Ed has communicated with Rob so much, that he now considers Ed a good friend.

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.

"Being a friend with Ed in spirit is like having a friend who lives in another state," Gutro said in describing his relationship with Ed's spirit.

Although Rob has become known as a "Pet Medium" through the success of his books "Pets and the Afterlife" and "Pets and the Afterlife 2," he also connects with human Earthbound ghosts and spirits.

He is the first in the paranormal field to make the distinction between earthbound ghosts and spirits who have crossed over. Rob has three books about his experience with human ghosts and spirits, called "Ghosts and Spirits," "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead," and "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation," the latter of which was published last year.  

Rob Gutro is a member of the Inspired Ghost Tracking Group of Maryland, and has been featured in the Washington Post and nationally syndicated radio programs like "Coast to Coast AM." Rob is a volunteer with Dachshund and Weimaraner rescues and gives fundraising lectures for animal rescues around the U.S., teaching grieving pet parents how pets communicate from the afterlife.

U.K. Hauntings: Whitechapel, St. George-in-the-East, London

  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:

St George-in-the-East, London
Much of Whitechapel has transformed beyond all recognition, but in the shadows of this handsome church — one of six designed by architect Nicholas Hawksmoor — a now-derelict brick shed still stands. It opened as part of the Whitechapel Museum in 1904 but in a previous life served as a mortuary. On the evening of 30 September 1888, the body of Elizabeth Stride, the third known victim of Jack the Ripper, was brought here for identification. It’s one of many locations throughout the old East End associated with the notorious serial killer. Join an expert-led tour at twilight to learn more of his wicked crimes.

Paranormal Q and A: When was the first time you realize you could communicate with the other side and what was that experience like?

Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). Here's this week's question: 

QUESTION: When was the first time you realize you could communicate with the other side and what was that experience like?;

ANSWER: I was 13  years old. My grandfather had passed in January of 1977 and appeared to me in July of that year. It so happened that he appeared in the same month as his birthday (which I now understand that spirits reappear around birthdays, anniversaries and holidays for the most part). - I was sitting in my parents' house, in the kitchen, and our family dog was sitting next to me. I was drawing my own superhero comic books when I looked up.

Two rooms away, looking through our dining room into the living room, I watched, transfixed as little orbs of light coalesced into a full color figure of my grandfather!

I grabbed the dog and ran out the door, where I sat outside on the steps until my parents came home from wherever they went. I told my mom and she understood (she had the gift but was afraid to use it).  I later understood it was really not supposed to be frightening- just a 'hello, I'm safely on the other side."

U.K. Hauntings: Chillingham Castle, Northumberland

 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:

Chillingham Castle, Northumberland
‘Chilling’ by name, chilling by nature — this is reputed to be the UK’s most-haunted castle. On the edge of the Cheviot Hills, this stronghold dates back to the 12th century and has seen numerous bloody border battles with Scotland in its near 700-year history. It’s no wonder, then, that a cast of spectres is said to haunt its hallways, including male voices that whisper in the chapel and a ‘white lady’ in the pantry who begs for water. Budding ghost-hunters can even join a tour to catch a glimpse of the spirits for themselves. Keep an eye out for the bat motifs in the chapel windows and on the weathervane, too — it’s the symbol of the Wakefield family, the current owners, whose ancestors have lived in the castle since it was first built.

Part 4: 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:

 

 

7)  Is it possible that an entity in a greater sense isn't stuck in these locales, patterns and situations, but rather a portion of its energy is? 

 A: I've found that a ghost is stuck in a place of their choosing and very rarely moves around (so all of their energy is in one place). It's spirits who have crossed that move anywhere and any time.   

 8)   Examples, people who are alive and are said to be seen as ghosts.

A: That would be someone conducting an astral projection of themselves while their body is in a sleep or coma-like state.

9)  Also, the typical poltergeist cases in which a teenage girl undergoes a kind of energetic turbulence that manifests physically.  

A: Poltergeist activity is caused by extreme heightened emotions in a teenager- those emotions emanate the energy that helps simulate the ghostly activity. It's just like emotional energy *(fear, anxiety, depression and anger) can fuel a ghost to give it strength to communicate!

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

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: 

(Photos: Edinburgh Live- Various areas of the city in Scotland).

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.
