2 Fun Books: Planet Kindergarten and Planet Kindergarten: 100 Days in Orbit

 Do you have children who love to read? Are you looking for fun books with great stories and  illustrations? I've got two recommendations for you- and both are by Sue Ganz-Schmitt. 
  Recently, I had the good fortune to online meet a wonderfully talented children's book author named Sue Ganz-Schmitt through my own books and website. After learning she is an author, we decided to exchange a couple of books. She sent me "Planet Kindergarten" and "Planet Kindergarten: 100 Days in Orbit." (These were perfect for me, since I'm a scientist). 
   I absolutely LOVE them. They focus on a young boy who experiences Kindergarten for the first time, and subsequently on his 100th day (book 2), and in his mind, he sees it like he's an astronaut and it's a planet. What a unique and fun way to look at kindergarten! The stories introduce classmates who are seen as fellow space travelers.  I love the artwork too.    I can't say enough good things about books. Children will love reading them over and over, and adults will, too. There's so many details to absorb in the artwork, you'll find something every read as you relive the adventure.
    These are excellent books!   5 of 5 stars. - Rob

Short Video: Ghost's Doorway at Thornbury Castle (book: Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation)

In my book Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation by Rob Gutro, you'll read about my stay at Thornbury Castle. There were several ghosts there! This is a short video outside of giant wooden door to my room- where I captured a photo of the ghost's orb (a rounded, multicolored ball of energy- a ghost in it's most simple form). I got the name of the ghost, and he gave me clues to his identity... which I figured out when I returned from vacation. Even the reason why he stayed behind and why in the castle. It's all in my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation. "
ABOUT THORNBURY CASTLE: Thornbury Castle is a castle in Thornbury, South Gloucestershire, England. This is short video scan of the outside of the castle. Inside, there was a ghost in the room where I stayed, and there was a ghost in the main section of the upstairs hallway. You''ll find both of those stories in my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation" by Rob Gutro Construction began in 1511 as a home for Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham. It is not a true castle (designed to serve as a fortress), but rather an early example of a Tudor country house, with minimal defensive attributes. It is now a grade I listed building. The site was occupied by a manor house in 930. Part of the original plans for a very grand residence were "well advanced" before the duke was beheaded, in 1521, on the orders of his distant cousin Henry VIII, for alleged treason.

ABOUT  GHOSTS OF ENGLAND ON A MEDIUM'S VACATION by Rob Gutro: What happens when a medium goes on vacation? Can a medium simply switch off their ability at will? Well…not exactly. Rob Gutro is a medium/author/paranormal investigator and a scientist who has written 7 books about his encounters with human and animal ghosts and spirits. In this book, you will read about his experiences on two separate trips to the United Kingdom. England’s rich history and many epic battles have caused an over-abundance of residual emotional energy. Everywhere he traveled, he had a paranormal experience.\

      He explored royal palaces and spent the night in haunted castles. He encountered the ghosts of historical figures including a queen, a prince, and a nobleman; and several ghosts even shared their pain of death experience with him. On one occasion, the doppelganger of a loved one provided directions when he became lost while driving in the countryside due to a malfunctioning GPS. But not all of his encounters were of the human variety: there was also a very special visit from a canine ghost.

    This book is intended to be more than just a collection of personal ghost stories. In addition to relating my ghostly encounters, he has also included a short narrative history of the places where the experiences occurred. After all, knowing the history of a place is key to understanding why a ghost has decided to stay behind. So, join Rob as he relates his encounters with the ghosts of England.

*******************************************

Rob has written 7 other books about the paranormal, two about people (Ghosts and Spirits and Lessons Learned From Talking to the Dead) and 2 about pets (Pets and the Afterlife and Pets and the Afterlife 2), Kindred Spirits and Case Files of Inspired Ghost Tracking.  The books are available in paperback and e-book on Amazon.com.

A family who purchased a home that was a former school, located in Eagle, England, caught ghostly children on their backyard video surveillance camera. Eagle is a village in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It is situated 7 miles (11 km) south-west from Lincoln, and about 2 hours and 45 minutes drive north of London.

Footage of the ghostly child moving around in the home's backyard

A terrified family have captured security camera footage of what they believe to be a ghost running in the back garden of their home. Mother-of-two Amanda Papadopoulos, 39, is certain she has spotted a ghoul on video outside their new home, which used to be a Victorian school.

The object, which appears to have feet, is seen darting across the lawn, and appears to be almost see-through. It paces up and down the garden and then across what appears to be a shed. The shape then suddenly fades, only to reappear at the back door of the house, standing right up against the door before vanishing from sight.

 Amanda said: “We’ve cut down a lot of trees so I don’t know whether that’s disturbed something because when you make changes it can do stuff.

See Ghost Sketches in New Book, "Case Files of Inspired Ghost Tracking"

A new book called "Case Files of Inspired Ghost Tracking," by best-selling paranormal author Rob Gutro takes readers on paranormal investigations into private and historic homes where ghosts were traumatizing families. Rob, a medium in the Inspired Ghost Tracking paranormal group, announced the release of his seventh paranormal book that brings readers along on investigations and reveals some bizarre and shocking things the group found and how they helped the ghosts and families.     
TO BUY ON AMAZON: https://tinyurl.com/yba6ofbj

"When earthbound ghosts have traumatized families in their own homes, Inspired Ghost Tracking (IGT) of Maryland has gone in to cross them over," Gutro said. "Every case is different, too. Some have had earthbound ghosts that were friendly, others were not. IGT experienced a lot of bad energies that caused people to become physically sick or mentally traumatized. IGT investigators had to figure who, what, when and why things were happening, to finally bring peace to the living and the dead."  

In this collection of IGT cases, you’ll read about the "Burned Ghost," ghosts of two different time periods in one home, dark things that Ouija boards brought into homes, a very haunted Maryland mansion, many ghosts of Baltimore’s Federal Hill, a ghostly attachment, a Steelworker’s ghost, poltergeist activity, the famous IGT “Double Murder Ghost Investigation” and many more.

You'll find answers to questions like why ghosts choose to stay in a place, the differences and similarities between ghosts and spirits, why energy is the key to the paranormal and much more.

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

Gutro 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," and most recently, "Kindred Spirits: How a Medium Befriended a Spirit."   

Rob Gutro 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.

Paranormal Q&A: Can Negative People Affect Paranormal Investigations?

As I've noted in my books, Earth-bound ghosts both absorb and emit negative emotional energies like

fear, anxiety, depression and anger in addition to the physical energies like heat, light, water and electricity. So, recently I saw a question about if someone is doing a paranormal investigation and someone else is a pessimist, has anger issues or is depressed, is it possible to affect the investigation. Here's the question and my response:

QUESTION: Can a negative person in a paranormal investigation give off enough negative energy to give misreadings that a ghost is present?

ANSWER: No. Negative energy can be felt from ghosts, and also from living people, but the living during an investigation don't linger in one spot long enough to leave an imprint that can be mistaken for a ghost. However, sensitive people will pick up on a living person's negative energy, but they can distinguish it from a ghost's negative energy.

Q & A: Can Spirits Communicate with us Daily?

Recently I was asked if spirits can please communicate with us daily. Here's the answer

A:  It's not selfish to want to see or hear from spirits of your loved ones every day, but that's not how Spirits work. When Spirits are on the other side they are living a different kind of life. Although they remain devoted and connected to us, it's like someone living in another state or country. Therefore they only are able to connect with us on special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, or holidays. That ensures that we know they will always love us. 

Not only do they have a different kind of life in spirits, but it requires a lot of energy for them to come through often.  So, it's okay to hope for signs everyday, but it's unrealistic.  

The best thing that we can do is just to keep the memories alive of those now in spirit. That makes them feel close to us every day.

Celebrate the last day of Pride Month - Read "Kindred Spirits" by Medium Rob Gutro

June is National Pride month, and we celebrate the diversity of the LGBT community. One of my books, "Kindred Spirits," is about how the spirit of a gay man has come through to me for the last 14 years and I've actually befriended him. The book examines the amazing signs he's given to prove he's around, sent a look-alike to save us from being lost in England, and helped solve the mystery around his own death... plus more!

   ABOUT THE BOOK:  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. When Rob met his partner Tom in 2005, Ed's spirit came along for the ride. Rob never knew Ed in life, but Tom did. 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" - Author Rob Gutro describing his relationship with Ed's spirit.

Paranormal Q&A: What do you think is the difference between ghosts and spirits?

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: 

Q: What do you think is the difference between ghosts and spirits?

A: That question distinguished me from others in the paranormal community. There are differences and similarities between ghosts and spirits.

After our physical bodies die, the energy within couples with our memories, personality and knowledge. We make a choice to stay Earthbound at a fixed location - what I call a ghost, or cross over and join the energies of the universe- which I call a spirit.

Rob's breakthrough book

Both entities use energy to manifest and let us know they're there and give messages . Think of either entity as a lightbulb needing a charge to light up. They both use physical and emotional energies. Physical energies include: Heat, light, water and electricity. Negative emotional energies are only used to strengthen ghosts, and they include: fear, anxiety, depression and anger. Positive emotional energy such as love, faith and hope enable spirits to strengthen.

Ghosts, despite their personalities emit negative energy, and cause the living to experience discord in their actions with other living people. That's why you shouldn't live with a ghost.
