Bristol England Hauntings #11: The Highwayman of Pembroke Road

One of my books is called "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation" and is all about the various ghosts I met when I took 2 vacations in England. Recently, Bristol Live in the UK ran a series about haunted places in Bristol, so on this blog,  you'll read about 1 each week for the next several weeks!      Meanwhile if you want to read about the ghosts I met (Queens, shop owners, members of the royal court, Tavern workers, Shakespeare's sister, and even a dog, check out my book on Amazon.com.  Now, onto the hauntings in Bristol, England:

The highwayman of Pembroke Road

Pembroke Road
Pembroke Road
Today, Clifton's Pembroke Rode is a wide, vibrant street and a sought-after place to live, but it too has a frightening past.

There were once gallows at the top of Pembroke Road, and it was here that the notorious dwarf highwayman Jenkins Protheroe was hanged.

Protheroe was a nasty piece of work who would stand at the side of the road begging for money, and if you didn't give him what he wanted he would rob you.

PODCAST! Rob Talks about his book "Kindred Spirits" on Dr. Grimmy's Medicine Show (Radio)

I had a really wonderful time talking with Dr. Grimmy on his radio show late on Oct. 26 to early this morning, Oct. 27th.  Before the interview there was 44 minutes where Dr. Grimmy spoke to callers about religious views of mediums (which are never favorable - and the caller echoed that). My interview starts at about 45 minutes, and I had a great time discussing spirits, ghosts, my new book "Kindred Spirits," and all things paranormal. There were some great callers during my segment who asked great questions.

Carol's Amazon Book Review I Like: Kindred Spirits

Reviewing books after you read them is helpful to others who may be searching for something in the genre. The more reviews a book gets on Amazon, the more visible it becomes to others, and I enjoy reading reviews for books I want to read, and I'm honored when others tell me what the found interesting and touching in the books I write. Here's one of the latest reviews for my book, Kindred Spirits, by Rob Gutro.
  (It's available on Amazon.com for $6.99 paperback and $3.49 kindle).
(My thanks to Carol for this review).

There is a Difference between a Medium and a Psychic

Recently, someone asked me to tell them their future, lottery numbers and if they'll be successful in their job.  I can't tell them that because I'm a medium, not a psychic. I talk to the dead, not connect to energy for people's futures.
   Some mediums will tell you that ALL Mediums are psychics. They're not. Not everyone gets both gifts.Here's how it works:

WHAT IS A PSYCHIC? 
Psychics can tell people about their future endeavors because they tune into the energy of people or objects. They connect with their energy and feel a person's past, present and future. Psychics rely on their intuition and ability to get information for the person being read.

WHAT IS A MEDIUM?
Mediums talk to people and pets who passed.  It's NOT the same. Although mediums can get a sense of the energy around a person, whether they have good or bad energy (aura), they can't necessarily read energy into their futures. That's exactly how it is with me:  I can talk with people who passed, but I can't tell you your future.

I can tell you what a person or pet wants you to know about themselves or if they've been protecting, guiding or helping you. I can explain how the person or pet feels on the other side. But I can't tell you what is in store for you. That's a psychic.

I never developed the gift of tuning into a person's future. To me, that's a much different gift. Just as some have the gift to know when someone is going to pass away days before they do. I don't have that gift either (to me, that's unsettling).

So, when you ask a medium to tell you the future, not all of them can - because we're not all psychic and mediums. Sometimes, like me, we are one or the other.

Tarot Tuesday with Joy Andreasen: Wheel of Fortune card

Today's Tarot Tuesday with my friend Joy Andreasen is about the Wheel of Fortune card.

Joy Says: 
Big changes are coming, and today you may see evidence of the direction of the change. It is important to remain calm and centered in the face of uncertainty. Don't get blown off course by shifting emotions or blinding fears. Face changes with confidence and clear thinking.
 
THE CARD MEANING (From biddytarot.com)

UPRIGHT: Good luck, karma, life cycles, destiny, a turning point
REVERSED: Bad luck, resistance to change, breaking cycles

Wheel of Fortune Description

The Wheel of Fortune card shows a giant wheel, with three figures on the outer edges. Four Hebrew letters – YHVH (Yod Heh Vau Heh), the unpronounceable name of God – are inscribed on the wheel’s face. There are also the letters TORA, thought to be a version of the word Torah, meaning ‘law’, or TAROT, or even ROTA (Latin for ‘wheel’). The middle wheel has the alchemical symbols for mercury, sulphur, water and salt – the building blocks of life and the four elements – and represents formative power.
On the outer circle is a snake, the Egyptian god Typhon (the god of evil), descending on the left side. The snake also represents the life force plunging into the material world. On the right side rises the Anubis, the Egyptian God of the dead who welcomes souls to the underworld. And on top of the wheel sits the Sphinx, representing knowledge and strength.
In the corners of the Wheel of Fortune card are four winged creatures, each associated with the four fixed signs of the Zodiac: the angel is Aquarius, the eagle is Scorpio, the lion is Leo, and the bull is Taurus. Their wings signify stability amidst movement and change, and each holds the Torah, representing wisdom.
