Have you Explored the Haunted Banff Springs Hotel in Canada?

Looking for a beautiful, and possibly haunted place? The

Banff Springs Hotel is a luxury hotel that was built during the 19th century as one of Canada's grand railway hotels, being constructed in Scottish Baronial style and located in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. The hotel was opened to the public on June 1, 1888. Today, the Fairmont Banff Springs resort hotel is owned by OMERS and operated by Fairmont Hotels and Resorts of Toronto.

Thanks to Haunted Salem for this post: Banff Springs Hotel is a grand hotel in Canada that was built in 1888 and is still open today. There are rumors that this is the hotel that inspired The Shining, but that has been proved false. There are numerous ghosts that are said to haunt the place, such as…

Sam, an employee who died in the 70’s. He supposedly talks to guests and even helps them with their bags and on the elevator. However, he vanishes if you try to tip him.

A bride who got married at the hotel. She died after a candle lit her dress on fire; she panicked and fell down the stairs pictured. She is said to be seen wandering the hotel in her wedding dress. Guests have also reported feeling cold or chills while they are on the staircase.

A family who was murdered in room 873 by their father. Since the murder the room has been closed but the ghosts still wander around there; reports such as vacationers waking up in the middle of the night feeling paralyzed as well as seeing fingerprints on their mirror that won’t come off are supposedly the room 873 ghosts.

Animals do have souls...."Pets and the Afterlife" The loss of a pet is like to loss of a child to pet owners. The love we share with our pets never dies, and in a new book called "Pets and the Afterlife" by Rob Gutro, the author provides proof that our pets do communicate with us from the other side.

"Do our pets go to the afterlife when they die?" . Here we talk about soul contracts, after death communication, how our pets try to communicate with us from the afterlife (spirit world), the typical messages pets communicate to their loved ones here on the physical plane, how our grief can affect spirit communication, and so much more.
Pets, like people, only come through when they have something to tell us. People and pets usually return around the times of birthdays, anniversaries or holidays. They all give us signs—we just miss them—so I wrote the books to educate people on how to see them!

Advice to someone who can’t seem to grapple with the loss of a pet or find closure?
Know that they are around you. Close your eyes and know that the love we share binds us together forever. Love is an amazing energy and energy can't be destroyed. Keep your mind open, too. Don't discount anything that may be a sign because there's no such thing as a coincidence when it comes to spirit.

Pets, like people who pass, don't want us to be stuck in grief. Although grieving is a natural part of experiencing physical loss, it should not cripple you and prevent you from enjoying life and love. Our late pets (and people) want us to be happy, to live our lives and to help other pets who don't have homes or the love that our late pets enjoyed. One of the best ways to pay tribute to a pet that passed is to adopt or foster another and give that pet a chance to experience love (and not waste the love you have to give).

Grief blocks out signs. When we’re desperate to see something, we tend to dismiss things for something more "concrete." Spirits and ghosts use subtle signs because it takes a lot of energy for them to communicate. If people are sick with grief, that's when they should rely on a medium. They should also take comfort in knowing spirits come around from time to time, they're not always with us. They don't belong here because they're beings of energy.

Guest ~Rob Gutro, author of Pets and the Afterlife, is not your typical psychic medium. He's a meteorologist who's decided to use his psychic abilities to help comfort those grieving from the loss of a pet. Rob's still working on mastering the ropes of the spirit world, but his goal is to help as many people as possible in the process. He's not a Psychic Source Advisor, but we believe our community can learn a lot from his expertise and warm heart.

Egyptian animal mummies - so Pets Could Join Parents in Afterlife

Following is an excerpt from an article written by  Karen B. London, Ph.D. is a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist, Certified Professional Dog Trainer, author, and an Adjunct Faculty in NAU’s Department of Biological Sciences. She wrote about the fascinating topic of animal mummies. Although some animals were mummified for sacrifices to the Egyptian Gods, others were so they could accompany their masters into the afterlife.

 Egyptian animal mummies By KAREN LONDON

    Animal mummies were definitely beyond my usual experiences with the natural world. Mummies are dead animals that have been preserved due to very specific conditions. (Skin and organs of deceased individuals only resist decay if exposed to specific conditions such as chemicals, extreme cold, low humidity, or hypoxia.) The term “mummies” usually refers to bodies embalmed with chemicals, but “accidental” mummies have been recovered from extreme habitats such as high in the Alps and bogs. 

    In Ancient Egypt, millions of mummies were made on purpose because a well-preserved body was considered critical for a good afterlife. Not all of them were human.

   Egyptians mummified cats for multiple reasons: allowing a cherished pet to accompany a person in the afterlife, to provide food, or as offerings to the goddess Bastet, who was depicted as a lioness, a cat, or a woman with a feline head. Some cats were raised specifically for mummification. They were sold to people to leave in the temple as an offering after they worshipped a particular god. Many such kittens were two to four months old, and some experts believe this was simply because their small size made fitting them into mummy containers easier.

   I knew that cats were held in high esteem by the Ancient Egyptians and even that they were buried with their owners, so the existence of huge numbers of cat mummies was not a big shock. On the other hand, it was surprising to learn that so many other species of animals were mummified. Common pet mummies included dogs, baboons, monkeys, gazelles, and mongooses. Crocodiles, fish and bulls were also mummified in great numbers along with the occasional ram or hippo. According to some sources, the most commonly mummified animal was the ibis, with over four million discovered, making them many times more plentiful than cats, which are in a distant second place.

Thanks to Haunted Salem: The Haunted Hoosac Tunnel in Massachusetts

Thanks to Haunted Salem for the following historically haunting info.


I found this very interesting and wanted to share.
What's interesting is the number of orbs that appear in this photo. Orbs are the most simple form (a rounded ball of light with a design in them) that a ghost can take. You can distinguish orbs from reflections, dust and pollens because those don't have designs in them, where orbs do.
 - Rob

Haunted Salem said:
The Hoosac Tunnel, a railroad tunnel beneath the Berkshire Mountains in Western Massachusetts, is said to be one of the most haunted places in New England. It was an engineering marvel of its age, completed in 1875, and nearly five miles in length. Yet, it would cost 195 lives in various fires, explosions, and tunnel collapses, hence earning its name among the crew at the Bloody Pit. It has been the scene ever since of hauntings … and even murder.

Q&A: What is Negative Energy?

Over the next 2 weeks, every Tuesday, I'll be featuring a question that I received via email, and my response. 

WHAT IS NEGATIVE ENERGY?  It's an energy given off that makes people feel bad feelings- anger, depression, irritation.

WHAT DOES NEGATIVE ENERGY DO?   For some reason, it also powers Earth bound ghosts. Earth bound ghosts (no matter their personality -happy, angry, sad, etc.) tend to radiate negative energy where they "reside." So, if people have a ghost in their home, they tend to get those negative feelings more. I've been on a number of ghost investigations where people who have an Earth bound ghost in their home have reported being more short-tempered, impatient, angered or depressed.

  AN ETERNAL CYCLE -   By expressing those bad behaviors and emotions, you're actually emitting negative energy and "feeding" a ghost to strengthen. It becomes a vicious cycle where having a ghost in the home generates negative emotions in the living, and the living people have negative emotions that continue to power the ghost in the home.
   That's why it's important to cross a ghost over from your home even if they have benign, or "good" personalities. That's not saying they will cross over, because some refuse. (Historic homes are known to have ghosts in them who love their old homestead and never want to leave).
   Conversely, positive emotional energy, such as love, faith and hope empower spirits (who have crossed over).

Another Audible and Physical Sign from Dog's Spirit!

Over the holidays, I received this email from my friend Katharine who lives across the country. She conveys an amazing

Murphy with a smile

sign from her English Setter who had passed before Christmas.

I just had to tell you a really neat story. I lost my English setter Murphy two days before Christmas this year and was feeling like the house is rather empty and wishing she could let me know how she is. Some friends were over yesterday evening and I heard an ornament fall off the tree. I looked over there and an English setter ornament had fallen off the tree and I felt like Murphy was saying hi to me!

My response: Katharine- What a perfect sign from Murphy. I'm so sorry to hear about Murphy's passing. I'm grateful that she knew enough to send you an audible and physical sign with a picture to help comfort you and let you know she's around. Rob  

Katharine wrote: It was such a special sign from my Murphy and I am so glad I didn't miss it

That same night, my friends and I continued on out to eat. One of the specials was à la orange which was husbands my favorite dish, so of course I believe that was a sign that he was telling me that Murphy was with him and saying hi.

The timing of Katharine's late husband's favorite dinner with the dropping of the ornament was even more of a connection. It was a confirmation that Murphy is indeed with his dad.
