A figure caught my eye as I passed through one of the
supposedly haunted rooms of the supposedly very haunted Merchant’s House Museum
in NoHo last week.According to Emily
Wright, Communications and Programs Manager of the Merchant’s House, whom I
spoke with after my visit, the house typically has between six and 12 new
reports of ghostly activity every year, including weird feelings, unaccounted
for noises, sightings, etc. The most recent came earlier this year, when a
visitor ran downstairs from the upper floors, telling the docent at the
admissions desk that a woman in a long, black dress had followed her down a
flight of stairs. Later that day, Wright tells me, another visitor had the
exact same experience—chased down a flight of stairs by a woman in a long,
black dress.
I spoke to people about pets and people who have passed.
Yesterday, July 11, I gave a talk about a "Double Murder Ghost Investigation" that took part in with Inspired Ghost Tracking back in 2001. The room where I presented at Tysons-Pimmit
Regional Library, 7584 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church Virginia was full! I
was really honored that so many people came to hear my talk on a
Saturday afternoon!
signing a book!
My talk lasted for an hour, and there were so many great questions afterward. I met a lot of really interesting people and my friend Jeff came and took some pictures. So many people had paranormal experiences, too.
This is probably my best side! LOL
REINCARNATION - Some of the questions were about reincarnation - and yes, we all come back. Usually, we come back once everyone we know in this life has passed. All our contemporaries usually have to pass... however, there are exceptions. We usually don't cross over between animal and human kingdoms, though, although several friends told me they want to be reincarnated as one of our dogs, because we spoil our canine kids. :)

If you feel drained a lot, feel depressed, angry, or feel negative energy around you, there are steps you can take to dispel it. Whether it be a ghost in your house, a ghost who has attached him or herself to you, or negative energy that you absorbed. Here's how to get rid of it:
It would be beneficial to start doing things to
invite light, positive energy and optimism into your life to dispel it.
The attachment seems drawn to the negativity like a magnet. BRIGHTEN UP! - I would suggest that you brighten your
living environment, remove negative people from your life, play quieter,
calming music, sage your house and bring in more light. LOOK AT LITTLE THINGS TO FIND GOOD - Focus on small things that make you happy- even a good cup of coffee or
an easy traffic day.
The positive change will repel the negative
energy. Negative energy depresses people can be changed by focusing on good things, even small,
good things. MEDITATE - You should meditate, have all the lights on around, candles to invite more light, soft music (instrumental), and tell
the energy to leave your body. AN EXERCISE TO RID THE ENERGY FROM YOUR HOME -
Picture the energy wrapping up
into a tornado-like vortex, and then imagine it spinning out of the
house through a window. Then imagine the window and all the windows of your house being sealed with light as a barrier. He can also protect yourself further by picturing that white light around him as a "suit of
armor."
It was 2 years ago yesterday, July 8,
2013 we said a sad goodbye to our 16 1/2 year old
dachshund Sprite. Since he's been on the other side, though, he's come
back several times to let us know he's still around. This year was no
different.
Sprite 12-23-96 to 7-8-13
Sprite's Butterfly
In 2013, three days after Sprite passed, after Tom and I took
our other three dogs for a walk, we brought them into the backyard, and
Sprite gave us all a sign in the form of a butterfly.
First, it's unusual for a butterfly to fly near dogs and that's exactly
what that yellow and black butterfly did- and for quite awhile.
Secondly, the
dogs didn't go after it. They just watched it. It was as if they heard
Sprite telling them "I'm here." The butterfly just stayed
there on the grass and I actually took pictures of it. It was a message
from Sprite that he is fine and
regained 100% health as a spirit.
Spirits can manipulate things
in nature, and Sprite loves to use yellow and black butterflies because
since 2013, several friends have seen them when they have read about
Sprite. On my way to work on July 8, 2015, Sprite gave me the
same sign. I was not thinking of Sprite as I was rushing to get to work -
but spirits come by on birthdays, anniversaries and holidays to remind
us they are around. After leaving the house, I went through the
Dunkin' Donuts drive through to get coffee. After pulling out of the
parking lot and getting on the road to work, a yellow and black
butterfly flew right toward the windshield, close enough for me to see
it clearly, before it flew off. Sprite had given me a reminder that he
is still around on the second anniversary of his passing.

Supernatural books, and hopefully it's helping grieving pet parents understand how their pets communicate with them from the other side. Here's a run-down from Amazon today:
Recently I saw a blog post from inyminy.com with a collection of old photographs that actually included ghosts. The first one in the collection was the most unusual. See what you think. The image is credited: Pixgood.
The Cooper Family Hanging Ghost?
This photo is dated in the mid-1950’s in a home in Texas. The Cooper
family had just moved into an old house
that they bought and decided to take this family photo. When it was developed (yes, they used film that had to be developed in 1950) to the left side of the photo appeared an upside down person that appeared to be hanging from the ceiling. What's interesting is that the face is blocked out. Additionally, the figure also appears larger than the women. Because no address was given for the home, it is impossible to trace back in records to see who may have died there.
LOOKING CLOSER - With Photoshop, I was able to zoom in and lighten the image of the upside-down ghost. One thing I saw was that the right arm actually cast a shadow. Ghosts don't cast shadows.
In addition, the "shadow" of the finger goes directly over the front of the candle and is not deflected on the other side of the candle.
So, between the shadow, and the fact that the figure is much larger than the adult women, I think that this photo is just a double exposure. It is curious though, how the face is blacked out.
On Saturday, May 30th, I had a table at the
MId-Atlantic Doxiefest in Belair, Maryland to promote my book "Pets and the Afterlife." - It was an outdoor event and
fundraiser for Coast-to-Coast Dachshund Rescue. I got to work with a rescue that was trying to place their last
couple of dogs, so the rescue manager could retire.
Author Rob Gutro and Harley- looking for a home
While
there, I met Jane, who was volunteering and helping a Fredericksburg,
Virginia dog rescue. The rescue is managed by Yolanda McEntire, who is
working to get her last few dogs adopted as she is retiring.
Jane brought over Harley, a 13 year old, senior black and tan
dachshund. I immediately took to him and really wanted to see him go to
a good home. He had been with the rescue for over a year, and Yolanda
really wanted to find him the perfect place.So I offered to help.
Harley's close up!
Jane and an adoptable dog
What
I've done with Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue (where Tom and I are
members and volunteers) is that I take a short video of the dog, take
several photos (and after assessing the dog's behavior and talking with
the foster parent) I write a biography. I've learned that many people
really, really want to see a video and read a bio about how the dog
behaves, his habits, training, health, etc. so I include all of those
things.
I've now used this format for 5 dogs and all five have been adopted
within 2-3 months of making the videos and biographies live. What a
wonderful reward to find these dogs homes.
A short video of Harley I made
Well, on July 4th, we received an email from Yolanda that Harley had
indeed found a forever home in West Virginia. That totally made my July
4th (and the week).

The following is an email I received from a family who visited Gettysburg National Park, site of one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. Gettysburg is a known haunted location. Many of the soldiers that were slain on that battlefield never left. There are intelligent haunts (ghosts that can interact with people and actually answer questions) and residual haunts (emotional energies that were so strong- like going into battle) that just appear and repeat over and over again. Here is the letter I received from a woman named Carol, along with her photos.
The photos were reprinted with permission.
Here's the description of Carol's experiences in Gettysburg that generated these photos:

Many people who work in hospitals or nursing homes have reported paranormal experiences. The following was sent to me from a nurse.
Every
nursing school sends their newbies to local nursing homes first to
practice caring for real people and to see how tough their new group is. While doing my RN clinicals at the local nursing home I was helping an
older gentleman go about bathing and
eating etc... I was making his bed and he was sitting in a chair and
he kept looking over the the other side of the bed where there was an
empty chair. We had been making polite chit chat for several minutes
when I finally had to ask: "Is there something over there that you'd
like me to get for you? I can't help but notice you keep looking over
there." In a very normal, matter of fact tone of voice he replied: "No,
thank you. It's just that my wife is sitting over there." I looked at
the empty chair, looked at him, looked again at the empty chair and
said: "Oh. I'm sorry, but I can't see her." I told myself that I
believed in life after death and spirit visitation - but I also told
myself that I had no idea what kind of meds this guy was on(some can be
hallucinogenic). So, I asked: "How long has your wife been passed
away?" He replied that it had been many years, he couldn't remember.
He also stated that she comes to "visit him" often. We then started
chatting about something else. When I was done getting him ready for
the day I told him it was nice to meet him and that I'd be going now.
He replied likewise and said: "My wife says thank you for taking care of
me today." This story is not surprising to me as there are a many Earth-bound ghosts or spirits (who come back and visit) in hospitals or nursing homes. As I explained in Dec. 2013, when my mother was failing in the hospital after a massive stroke, I sensed my dad's spirit in the room, and he was holding the spirit of our family poodle, Gigi. Both were there to take my mom to the other side. My mother passed early the next morning. If you have worked in a nursing home or hospital and have had a paranormal experience that you'd like to share, please feel free to send it to me at Rgutro@gmail.com. I'll be happy to post it, and may include it in my next "Ghosts and Spirtis 2" Book (slated for 2017). Thanks, Rob

Yesterday, in the U.S., the physical world finally caught up with the spiritual world. Love won. Love is the only emotion that really matters in this life and the next life. Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that gay marriage is the law of the land
for all 50 U.S. States and U.S. Territories. Finally, the U.S joins so many other progressive countries who understand that all people are created equal and deserve the same legal protections, rights and security. Before today, gay people who were married in one state could not visit their dying spouse in a hospital in another state. One friend of ours could not even claim his husband's body and had to call in an estranged relative not seen in 20 years. How horrible. That's all changed now.
Places around the U.S. lit in rainbow colors to celebrate equality on 6-26-15
As a medium, I can tell you that that just as people in SPIRIT are all equal, so should all people be equal in the physical world. For those who don't believe in equal treatment of others, no matter what their race, color, creed, non-religion, class, sexuality, social status, etc. you will understand that once your physical life is over and you transition to ghost or spirit, you will realize that we are, in fact, all the same. If you
have dislike in your heart for gay people, then get to know a gay person
and show them patience, understanding and love. Gay people don't hate
all straight people, so straight people should not hate all gay people.
If you think that being gay is a choice, try to remember when you decided to be
straight. You didn't- and neither did they. We all deserve the same opportunities, rights and protections in this life as we get in the next life. If you don't understand that now and you think you are better than others and deserve more than others, you may learn it the hard way in the afterlife- being trapped on Earth as a ghost, never to see your family and friends in spirit. So, don't make that mistake. Instead, celebrate that others now have the same opportunities and protections. For in spirit, love is the only power that matters. In the physical, love should also be the only "power" that matters. So be loving, accepting and welcoming to people who are unlike you. We are all here together. Celebrate this day that people are now more equal. After all, if there is one thing that is important in life and the afterlife, it's love. Today, #LoveWins and hatred loses. It should be that way every day.
Since I wrote the book "Pets and the Afterlife" about how our pets communicate from beyond, I've been noticing a articles about pet cemeteries and ashes. Here's one from BBC News that you may find interesting. - Rob
The rising popularity of pet crematoriums and cemeteries
By Helen Soteriou and Will SmaleBusiness reporters, BBC News
When Penny Lally passes away she is going to be buried between her late husband... and her favourite horse.
The
71-year-old will join John Lally and her beloved old pony Super Sam in a
picturesque woodland spot in Cornwall, south west England.
Also already buried in the family plot are Blot the cat, Muppet the Alsatian dog, and Brian the canary.
Elsewhere in the six acres (2.4 hectares) of woods and fields, some 40 other people are also laid to rest with their pets.
The
land is owned by Ms Lally's business, Penwith Pet Crematorium, which is
one of 50 or so pet crematoriums and cemeteries across the UK.
And businesses is booming, as an ever-growing number of pet owners wish to give their animals a more formal send-off.
At
Penwith they now individually cremate an average of 200 animals per
week, double the number a decade ago. Prices range from £42 for a
hamster or guinea pig, up to £187 for a large dog.
Meanwhile, it costs £900 to bury a horse (they are too big to be cremated at Penwith), or £1,500 for a human being.
Ms Lally says: "It was my silly idea to set up the business back in 1988."
She
adds that she came up with the idea when she realised that there were
many people like her and her husband who would like give their pets a
formal cremation or burial. And that others would, like them, also
consider being ultimately buried beside their pets, or where their
beloved animals' ashes were scattered or interred.
"My husband and I were running a farm, and we were lucky enough to have the land to set up the business," says Ms Lally.
"So we set aside six acres. The business then gradually grew from there thanks to positive word of mouth and repeat business.
"Everyone
who comes here goes away and happily recommends us to other people, and
we get people who come back with their second and third pets."
'Pet parents'
Far
from being just a British phenomenon, the industry of pet cremation and
burial, or "pet loss" as it is known, is now a very big business
globally.
According to US-based trade body Pet Loss Professionals
Alliance (PLPA), the average annual turnover of its members around the
world in 2013 was $860,464 (£556,000).
And that year its members in the US alone cremated 1.46 million pets.
Coleen Ellis, co-chair of the PLPA, opened the first stand-alone pet funeral home in the US.
Today,
she owns and runs an organisation called Two Hearts Pet Loss, which
educates veterinary professionals and pet loss businesses about how best
to meet the needs of people whose pets nearing the end of their lives.
Based
in Indianapolis, Indiana, Ms Ellis, who is also the author of a book on
the subject, says it is important to remember that there are two types
people who have pets - "pet owners" and "pet parents". She adds: "My services are
geared towards the pet parent, the person who saw their little furry
animal as a member of the family.
"I wanted to give people
'permission' to do what they wanted to do to honour their pet, and to
honour the life they shared together. Readers remember their departed pets
"We
are giving them permission to do more, and possibly in an area where
they may be felt like they were going to be shamed, or made fun of,
because a lot of people may be looking at them and saying 'it was just a
dog', or 'it was just a cat, why do you want to do that, that's
crazy?'."
'Final goodbyes'
Vivianne
Dhupa and her husband Sarit Dhupa decided to go into the pet loss
industry after a traumatic experience following the death of their then
17-year-old cat in 2004.
Their cat died on route to their vets in
San Diego, California, and the couple did not want to take its ashes
back from the surgery.
A few months later Ms Dhupa
went back to ask where the ashes had been scattered, only to be told
that the cat had been taken to an animal rendering plant, because the
couple hadn't specifically requested cremation.
"Needless to say, I was angry and devastated," says the 42-year-old.
To
prevent other pet owners going through a similar experience, the couple
set up their own pet crematorium - Peaceful Paws Pet Crematorium. This
now cremates 20,000 pets per year, and customers can choose from a range
of specially designed pet urns.
However, Ms Dhupa and her husband
went one stage further, and also opened a hospice centre for dying
pets, the Into The Sunset Pet Transition Centre.
Ms Dhupa says:
"While our primary goal is to ensure our patients are pain-free and
maintaining an acceptable quality of life, we focus a great deal on
supporting the family emotionally.
"We do not prolong life or hasten death. Our primary goal is quality of life until the family is ready for their final goodbye."
Back
in the UK, Carole Mundy, 61, has purchased burial plots at Penwith Pet
Crematorium for her herself and her husband, and all of their cats and
dogs. Plus three separate areas for her rescued horses. She says it has
cost her thousands of pounds.
"I wanted to find a resting place where I can be buried with all of my animals," she says.
"They give me unconditional and devoted love, so why would I not want to be buried with them."
Here's a video blog from my friend "Bear" Elliot" - giving a "Ghost hunting 101" after seeing the film "Poltergiest" Bear said: I recently had the displeasure of seeing the remake of the classic film
Poltergeist and it really had an impact on my thoughts about Hollywood
and Paranormal Investigating. After 20 year of being a Paranormal
Investigator aka Ghost Hunter, I have learned a lot on how to make a
investigation safe. There were many examples of what NOT to do while
investigating a possible haunted location in Poltergeist and I felt the
need to address them. If you would like to hear more about my adventures
with the Paranormal, please Like, Comment and Subscribe to my YouTube
channel. Happy Hunting!
NOTE: A poltergeist is actually not a ghost. It's activity that
mimics that of a ghost, but is caused by the emotionally disturbed
energy generated by a teenage girl. We've encountered 2 incidents of
that very thing and once the teenage girl got counseling or moved out,
the activity stopped. **Enjoy the vlog! -Rob VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RHFW5tD0bE#t=169
For those who know me, I've been able to get signs and messages from
people who passed away- and either remain
Earth-bound (as a ghost) or
cross over into the light (as a spirit). Usually they give us signs
around birthdays, anniversaries and holidays. (You just need to look for
them).
Well, my mom was no exception. She gave me several
signs she's around - and this is the week of her birthday and what
would've been her and my dad's 60th wedding anniversary.
Spirits can come in many ways, like through dreams or music. My mom came through in both ways.
My mom in 1955
A VIVID DREAM / VISIT -
This morning, I awoke from a dream of walking into a brightly lit room
that had huge windows with the sun poring through, and my mom was
sitting down with our (late) poodle, Gigi, who was her favorite dog in
the world. My mom appeared as she did when she was in her late 20s/early
30s! She was young and vibrant, and smiling. (She looked like she did in the picture here)
She was sitting on a large white couch or bed and Gigi, her poodle was
curled up with her. She was very happy and content. The next thing I
noticed was that a Weimaraner was walking next to me- and I think it was
Buzz, my weimaraner who passed in 2005. It was all so very real. That's
the difference between a visit and a dream. This was definitely a visit
and I got to see mom, Gigi and Buzz. How cool.
MUSICAL SIGNS - While
I was teleworking later in the day, I was listening to WSM-AM 650
on-line. That's a radio station out of Nashville that plays classic
country. Well, there were two songs in a row that my mother included in
her favorites: 1) Dolly Parton's "Here You Come Again"
(that brought back memories from the 1970s of Mom and I sitting down
facing each other, slapping each other's knees and singing the song) 2) Glen Campbell and Steve Wariner's "Hand that Rocks the Cradle (Hall of Fame for Mamas)" song came on second. Mom loved that song and said she agreed that there should be a hall of fame for mothers!
Here's the video of the song: https://youtu.be/g6MGou_HzbM

Listen to the Podcast: Paranormal Matters Radio UK interviewed Rob Gutro about Pets in the World Beyond earlier this month. Join our host Jennifer Warters for another fascinating discussion exploring the nature of consciousness. This week's guest is Rob Gutroa medium who communicates with animals who have passed over and who discusses his experiences of direct contact? TOPICS:
One of the questions I've received several times is "Do Non-Religious People go to Heaven?" People who have asked were concerned that their loved one who passed away would not find peace on the other side if they didn't subscribe to a religion. I did a search on Google to see what websites say before I put down my understanding (from talking with people on the other side). Almost all responses to the question was "well, you need to read the bible and be a christian." That's fine for the person writing it, but it's a narrow-minded answer and it's not correct. You can worship whomever you choose or not. Religions have always been created by mankind. MY ANSWER: If you understand energy, then you know that we all have the ability to "cross over" and join the energies that run through the cosmos. You can call that 'heaven," "paradise," "Valhalla" or whatever you like it makes no difference. The bottom line is that you don't need to believe in a god to cross over. "God" is not an entity. God is a collective consciousness of all living things- basically the energy of every living thing. Religions are created by man, and if you understand the science of energy, that's what people and pets become after the pass. Suicide victims cross, gay, straight, young, old, overweight, anorexic, all races, colors, creeds, etc. can cross over, and need not believe in a religion. It's not about religion. It's about energy. What about those who don't cross over and remain ghosts? - Well, ghosts choose not to cross over and join the energies of the cosmos/heaven, etc. Ghosts choose to stay Earth bound. WHY? Often, it's because of their religious beliefs in life that convince them they are "unworthy" of moving on. Their religious beliefs prevent them from going where they belong. In fact, many ghosts will wait in an Earthly-limbo hoping to find forgiveness for their earthly deeds... and if the people whom the bad things were done to, have passed- then they likely won't get that answer because ghosts don't seem to be able to communicate with people in spirit. QUESTIONS ABOUT GHOSTS OR SPIRITS? - You can check out my book "Lessons Learned From Talking to the Dead"- I've written it to address all the questions you can think of about the afterlife, and I use examples of messages I've received from both Earth-bound ghosts and spirits who have crossed over.

Whenever I'm called into investigations for potential hauntings, we have to debunk a lot of things. We have an arhchitect on our team who can explain drafts and house settling noises. There are many other things we look for to disprove or prove the paranormal is at work in a house. I've blogged before how a messy house causes bad energy and discord. Last week this article appeared in the Huffington Post along those lines, with a focus on poor air quality (which you can have if you don't change filters often in your heating and cooling systems, or if someone smokes in the house).
Here's the article--- Rob
Put away the Ouija board and take out the Pledge.
Ghostbusters
at Clarkson University in New York are investigating the link between
indoor air quality and ghostly sightings, according to Medical Daily.
They say toxic mold can trigger psychosis and that might cause you to
see and hear things that go bump in the night.
The more sensitive you are to mold, the more likely you may think you're up against a poltergeist, the website reports.
“Hauntings are very widely reported phenomena that are not
well-researched,” says Clarkson engineering professor Shane Rogers,
according to the university's website.
"[The ghost sightings] are often reported in older-built structures that may also suffer poor air quality," Rogers says.
"Similarly,
some people have reported depression, anxiety and other effects from
exposure to biological pollutants in indoor air. We are trying to
determine whether some reported hauntings may be linked to specific
pollutants found in indoor air."
Rogers describes himself as a "longtime fan of ghost stories," and that he doesn't see himself as a paranormal debunker.
"What
I do hope is that we can provide some real clues as to what may lead to
some of these phenomena and possibly help people in the process."
Rogers'
team of undergraduate students plan to measure air quality in several
haunted locations in upstate New York, including the Frederic Remington
Art Museum in Ogdensburg, N.Y. The museum is the former home of Madame
Vespucci, and, according to Haunted Places, her voice can be heard echoing from the museum's upper level at night.
If they come back alive, they plan to publish the results of their finding.

On May 28 I gave a Talk about "Signs from Spirits" to a captive audience of retired folks at the Shepherd's Center of Oakton-Vienna,
Unitarian Universalist Church of Fairfaxin Oakton, VA 22124 This is an organization that was created and is run by volunteers that provides classes, lectures, events and activities for senior citizens of the area. Just an amazing organization. It would be great if every community had one of these groups for seniors! For more about the group, check out Facebook: www.facebook.com/scov.org
EXPERIENCES SHARED FROM THE AUDIENCE: Several people in the audience confirmed that certain birds or butterflies mysteriously appeared right after one of their loved ones passed. Some have seen their loved ones appear in spirit to them! Others mentioned they've received telephone calls with "no number showing" when they happened to be thinking of that person that passed. *They learned that when it comes to spirits, there are NO such things as coincidences* Music is another way that people in the audience said that they experienced hearing from their loved ones. One woman sitting in the front told me about a special song she and her late husband shared and how whenever she thought he was around, she would suddenly hear that song, indicating that he was indeed there and wanted to let he know that their love lives on forever. **********************************************************************************************
On Saturday, June 6, I was interviewed by Caroline of PSHRadio (of Ireland)! We talked about ghosts and spirits in general, people and pets, how spirits don't want us to experience extreme, lengthy grief; reincarnation, how spirits use look-alikes to let you know that they're around- that goes for human and pet spirits.
Ducketts Grove, Carlow County, Ireland
Caroline talked about how the afterlife was depicted in "the Lovely Bones" film/book. ( *NOTE: there was a short audio glitch after the music) We also talked about some experiences I had in Ireland and England and addressed the castle remains of Ducketts Grove, in Carlow County Ireland. We even talked about some actors, and We talked about 75 minutes. - Rob ********************************* You can hear the podcast here: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/p_s_hradio/2015/06/06/pshradio-speaks-to-rob-gutro-authorghost-huntermedium ****************************** Check out my books on Amazon: Amazon Author Page: amazon.com/author/robgutro
