In the News: Ghost hunters capture 'chilling' images of England's 'lost queen'

 Here's an article that appeared in Sept 2020 from the United Kingdom's Lincolnshire Live newspaper about a paranormal group's encounter with a famous ghost.   I also had the pleasure of visiting the UK and you can read about my encounters with the ghosts there in my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation," available on Amazon.   Here's this week's haunting:  

 Ghost hunters capture 'chilling' images of England's 'lost queen' 

 A group of ghost hunters claim they have managed to capture photographs of what they believe is the spirit of one of history's lost monarchs. The Retford Ghost Hunters claim to have captured one of their members coming face-to-face with a chilling apparition at the historic Rufford Abbey in Sherwood Forest..  

The group believe they encountered the renowned White Lady of Rufford who, according to legend, is believed to be the spirit of ill-fated Arbella Stuart. Arabella was tipped to take the throne before she found herself at the centre of a political wrangling which saw her banished to the Tower of London. The great, great granddaughter of Henry VII and the niece of Mary Queen of Scots' eventually died of starvation in 1615.

 The ghostly figure was captured during a ghost hunt which was streamed on Facebook Live. The "White Lady of Rufford" appears to be standing face to face with Rachel (Image: © Retford Ghost Hunters / SWNS) Group leader Rachel Parsons said: "I couldn't believe it when I looked up the history of the place the next day. "The first thing that came up was the White Lady Of Rufford. She's been spotted there quite a few times by all accounts.

It was about 11pm inside the ruins when we all heard a woman's cough so I ran towards the direction of it with my torch.

"I then sensed something on the spot where I was and I said to the others: 'She's standing right in front of me'.

At that point I told our viewers watching the live stream on Facebook to get screenshotting because I knew she was there. "It was only when we got back home and a viewer sent the screen grab that I discovered how close I was to her. "People have said it looks like a horror movie poster but I was just delighted to get such compelling evidence of what could be the famous White Lady of Rufford." 

The 48-year old said she only until she researched the history of the 12th century abbey that she uncovered the story of it being haunted by the White Lady of Rufford. But the White Lady wasn't the only ghostly spectre captured that night; spooky images showing a face at a doorway where also captured, which the ghost hunters believe could be the spirit of one of the monks who resided at the abbey.

Paranormal Q and A: What are some common ways a spirit would try to contact a loved one?

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: What are some common ways a spirit would try to contact a loved one?

 ANSWER: Some common ways that spirits communicate with us involve using things around us. Coins are a common item because they require little energy for spirits to use. Whenever you find a coin, look at the year and that will give you a clue as to whom may be trying to let you know they're around. Other things include feathers, flowers, influencing birds, butterflies or other insects to behave oddly around you (that correspond with a birthday, anniversary or holiday). You may also see someone that looks like the person or pet in spirit.. I provide many more examples in my books "Ghosts and Spirits" and Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead" for human spirits; and "Pets and the Afterlife" and Pets...2 for signs from pets!

Meet the Alleyway Ghost and More in a 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. 
  You'll read about the Alleyway Ghost in the pages of Case Files. You'll learn why he's there and why he died there, just as we did when the paranormal investigators met him in the alleyway behind a house in the Baltimore area. Rob even sketched him out and got confirmation from the homeowner that that was indeed the ghost they saw walking around in their house! 
  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.

"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.

A Big Thanks to the Strathmore Mansion for the Halloween Tea Event

 On Wednesday, Oct. 28, I returned to the Historic Strathmore mansion for the fourth year to give a talk during the annual Halloween Tea event. This was held in person, and so many protective measures were taken (since we are in the middle of a pandemic). 

    The tea was so well-organized, and there was social distancing, lots of ventilation, everything was disinfected, everyone wore masks, and it was a super-safe environment. My thanks to Mary Mendoza and the entire staff for taking so many steps to keep everyone safe. After all, I don't want anyone to wind up on the other side before their time!  

   Fortunately, it was a beautiful weather day and I got to stand outside on the small landing and speak into the room through open double doors. I talked about one of the cases from my newest book "Case Files of Inspired Ghost Tracking."  

   There was a good number of people (about 20 or so) and there were many questions. In fact, there were so many that my 30 minute talk lasted over an hour once I answered them all!  I really appreciate the folks who came out and enjoyed the delicious tea, sandwiches and desserts and the beautiful music created by live musicians in the music room. It was a memorable time. 

   If you would like to read about TRUE cases by the paranormal group "Inspired Ghost Tracking" of Maryland, check out my new book available on Amazon.com under $10 paperback and $3.99 ebook. You never know what you're going to find when you go into someone's house, and if there is a ghost, a spirit, a portal, dark energy, a Ouija board, or poltergeist activity. In some cases we found combinations, and found ghosts of different time periods! 

If you'd like to check into a Tea at the Strathmore, call 301.581.5108 for reservations. Pre-paid, non-refundable reservations required. Vegetarian options are available; please be sure to request a vegetarian meal when making your reservation. Tea for Two gift certificates make great gifts! To purchase, call 301.581.5175 or visit the Shop at Strathmore located in the Mansion. https://www.strathmore.org/events-and-tickets/afternoon-tea

Kuzco Sends Dan a Photo Hello from Spirit

My friend Dan volunteers at  a shelter and was enamored with a little dog, who wound up being fostered in another home.Kuzco since passed, but bonded with Dan during their time at the shelter. Recently, Dan got a big surprise with Kuzco's face showed up oddly on social media. Here's the story from Dan: 

Rob, this is my story about the sign from Kuzco. After my little boy Romeo transitioned in August of 2019, I started to volunteer at Humane Indiana Shelter in Munster, Indiana. There, I befriended a dog named Kuzco who was surrendered by his family after 5 yrs and unfortunately was heartworm positive. 

I spent about 2-3 hrs a day twice a week with him. I fed him all sorts of treats and took him on walks and gave him many belly rubs. We would just sit on the grass where he would love to watch cars drive by. 

When Covid-19 hit in late March, the shelter had to close. At that point, I had the option to foster him. I opted to let another family foster him that way he would not be alone while I was at work. The foster family had kids and the mom home all day. Unfortunately, his heart worm caused his heart to go into failure and unfortunately they had to help him cross over the rainbow 🌈 bridge 🌉. That happened in April of 2020. 

 The only thing that I have from him is his memory, videos and pictures of him and I, and also his hair that I plucked from my cloth gloves and hat. 

**This is Where Kuzco Gave Dan a Sign**

Dan said:  The humane shelter posted a video on Facebook of the remodeling of the kennels before and after. On the post on Facebook the still image on the video was that of Kuzco and he doesn’t appear on the video until 1:46 second mark. So my question now, is this a sign to me from Kuzco?

Why It's a Sign

I told Dan:  Yes, the freeze-frame image of Kuzco is a sign to Dan. The reason is that his image appears in the MIDDLE of the video, and only for a short time, so the chances of his little face appearing in a still frame are slim to none. Yet, there he was. That's because he made it happen so Dan would know Kuzco is very much around him. 

Thanks to all for Notes after our dog Dolly's Passing

Thank you for your notes and emails after our Weimaraner Dolly's quick passing on Oct. 22nd. The outpouring of support and care means so, so much to us during this time. We lost 2 teenage furkids within 5 months this year as Franklin also passed on May 8.

Our other dogs, Tyler and Dash, witnessed her passing which made it easier for them to understand, and Tyler knew she was failing over the last 6 months.

Our friend Margaret Perry Ehrlich (who also manages the Inspired Ghost Tracking group ) sent is this beautiful image she created with our dogs Dash and Tyler on the ground (because they are still with us), and our 4 dogs in the afterlife: Franklin, Dolly, Sprite and Buzz.

We were fortunate to have Dolly and Franklin so long as they outlived most of their breeds, although both battled a number of health issues. Thank you again for your kind words and support.

Paranormal Q and A: What other types of paranormal or mystical activity do you think is possible?

Paranormal Q and A: 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: What other types of paranormal or mystical activity do you think is possible? 

 ANSWER: Anything is possible when it comes to the paranormal, because it means "beyond what is normal." I've run into portals, which are doorways that open between the spirit world and ours, and other portals (energy doorways) that help a ghost move from one place to another on Earth (because they can't cross over). Time travel comes to mind and it's something we currently think of as "paranormal" or science fiction.

Salt Tower in the Tower of London

You can read about my experience running into an energy portal in the Salt Tower of the Tower of London. That story is in my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation." 

 Placing bad energy on someone or something (sometimes called a curse) has been around for centuries, and there's some truth to it. There's so many more possibilities!
