My Mom gives me 2 Signs Today!

Tropical Storm Norma Formed today in the Eastern Pacific

 For those of you who don't know I'm a meteorologist and I work on hurricanes/tropical cyclones on
my day job. Today, I got a nice big "Hello" from my mother, Norma (who passed in Dec. 2013). Tropical Storm Norma just formed quickly today off the coast of western Mexico, and she's going to have a VERY strong personality (will become a hurricane), like my mom. You never know when you'll get a sign!  
     AND I got a second sign JUST as I was sitting down to write about it. I'm listening to Pandora radio, and one of her all time favorite songs just started playing: "It Might Be You" by Stephen Bishop (from the Movie "Tootsie", thus the video below) 
   It brought a happy tear to my eyes, hearing from Mom today. 
  Spirits are all around us. You just need to look for the signs.

How a Ghost Makes Us "Feel" Sensations (through our Nervous System)

dendrites of a neuron transmit electrical impulses

In the previous blog, I explained how a ghost creates cold spots and it's all about energy. As beings of energy, ghosts can also make us feel sensations since our nerves transmit electrical impulses to our body to help us move and feel.

The basic functioning of the nervous system depends a lot on tiny cells called neurons. The brain has billions of them, and they have many specialized jobs. For example, sensory neurons take information from the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin to the brain.

As energy entities, ghosts who touch us or come near us can add their energy into our nervous system (unwittingly on their part). That extra "charge" may create dizziness, a feeling of being shocked, chilled, squeezed or feel like someone is around.  

MELISSA'S ENCOUNTER 
Here's an email I received from Melissa who experienced a cold spot when she was property hunting: 

The Nervous System. Credit HowStuffWorks

I once walked into a building that I and my former husband were considering purchasing  to convert into a home. 

I'd only gotten to the middle of the second room on the first floor when I started having some rather strange symptoms. I stopped in my tracks..

I felt like my whole body was being squeezed, had pressure on it, felt light headed and an emotional over all bad feeling.

 I looked at my husband, two sons and real estate agent and said,"I don't know what happened here,but I have to go"! 

They all looked surprised and bewildered. 


WHY MELISSA EXPERIENCED THE FEELING - 
It seems that Melissa was in the presence of a ghost who was living in the building. Usually, ghosts just want to let us know that they're around and ask us for help to cross them over. 

FOR A CLOSER LOOK AT THE SCIENCE: The dendrites, or "tentacles," of a neuron pick up an electrical nerve impulse and conduct it toward the soma, or cell body. The nerve impulse travels through the soma and is then conducted down a threadlike fiber called the axon. At the end of the axon, the impulse travels over a gap called a synapse to reach the dendrites of the next cell.

What is a Ghostly Cold Spot?

As a meteorologist and a paranormal investigator I strive to explain the paranormal with science and
this is my explanation for why cold spots can sometimes appear whenever we sense an Earth-bound ghost or even a spirit (who has crossed over).

Scientifically, heating a liquid or gas increases the speed of the molecules. Cooling a liquid or gas decreases the speed of the molecules. Fast moving molecules of air are warm(er) air, and slower moving molecules of air are cooler air. So, a ghost basically extracts the energy moving the molecules of air and slows them down, creating a column of cooler air where the ghost is standing.

A Review of my "Pets and the Afterlife" Talk from the MD Paranormal Conference

Last weekend I gave a talk called "Pets and the Afterlife: How they communicate from spirit" at the Maryland Paranormal Conference. Following is an email I received about the talk that just made my day.

Wow! the talk you gave on Pets in the Afterlife really made me reminisce.  It was so insightful. Ed told me you find it difficult to give the talk at times and I can see why.  I think the entire audience was extremely moved. To me, it was absolutely the number one presentation of the day.  Thank you for agreeing to do it.

I will enjoy reading your Pets in the Afterlife books.  Thank you also for the Doxie rescue info.  Maybe my neighbor can finally find his own darling Doxie.

Wishing you Love and Light,

Leslie

If you've lost a pet,  I hope that I'll see you at one of my talks, and hope I can bring you healing.  -Rob Gutro

In the news: Brazil’s President Moved Out of the Presidential Palace Because of Its ‘Energy’ and ‘Ghosts’

Palácio da Alvorada is the official residence of the President of Brazil.

Ghosts can haunt anyplace and historic buildings where politics are discussed are usually active places for them to linger. That's because some politicians lived for their work, and decided to never leave. Here's one recent story of ghosts that inspired the president of one country to move out of the presidential palace! 

In the news: Brazil’s President Moved Out of the Presidential Palace Because of Its ‘Energy’ and ‘Ghosts’ 
By Gabriella Paiella, NY Mag

In August of 2016, Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff was impeached and her vice-president, Michel Temer, took her place. As part of his new position, Temer, 76, and wife Marcella, 33, moved into the official presidential residence, Alvorada Palace — but then moved back to the vice-president’s residence, Jaburu Palace, shortly afterward. And he has a very good, very relatable reason for the relocation: ghosts.

Brazil's Michel Temer

“I felt something strange there. I wasn’t able to sleep right from the first night. The energy wasn’t good,” he reportedly told Brazilian news outlet Veja. “We even started to wonder: Could there be ghosts?”

The U.K. Independent Newspaper quoted Temer: "Marcela felt the same thing. Only Michelzinho, who went running from one end to the other, liked it."  

He joked that they had even started to wonder whether there were ghosts in the modernist palace which was inaugurated in 1958.

The Palácio da Alvorada is the official residence of the President of Brazil. It is located in the national capital of Brasília, on a peninsula at the margins of Paranoá Lake.

Q&A: Does Keeping Ashes Hold a Soul Back?

Here's a question I received via email and my response about if you keep someone's ashes, do they trap a soul.

Q: Is there a possibility that keeping a loved one's ashes at home would create difficulties for their spirit into moving on to the light and such?  

A: No. Keeping the ashes of a loved one is just keeping a physical remnant of them. Their spirit has already crossed over.  When the physical body dies, or just before it dies, the soul, that is, memories, personality and knowledge combines with the physical energy in the body and leaves it. We make a choice to stay Earthbound as a ghost or cross over as a spirit and join the energies of the universe/heaven/paradise, etc. So your loved one has already crossed over or stayed on Earth as a ghost, which is very uncommon.
