Q&A From a Reader: Orb Encounter

An orb outside a bldg in Ashville,NC

I receive emails about different aspects of ghosts and spirits and publish them in the comments section of this blog, but also like to post the questions and my answers to help others. Here's one about orbs.

NOTE:  I'm not a big believer in orbs but I've found that most have color and designs in them - and sometimes faces (as I published in my book "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead." - I took this photo of an orb (2 actually) outside of the J.B. Jackson building in Asheville, NC - a building where a couple of people jumped to their deaths).

QUESTION:

We set up a camera in our home, set to record only whenever there is motion. At 5:15am this morning (it was still dark in our home) the camera began recording and it was a moving orb.... nothing but the orb - not my dogs, nothing else. I am at a total loss for words and would greatly appreciate your input. I had been hearing doors open and shut around this very time, which is why we set the camera up initially. Thanks so much.

ANSWER: 

    Motion detector cameras can sometimes be triggered if there's a vehicle moving by, or if there's an insect or piece of dust large enough to set it off. However, if you've been hearing doors open and close the orb you saw may be tied to an Earth bound ghost or spirit. If this hasn't happened until recently, it may be a spirit of a loved one that passed and has come to give you a message that they're still around you. 

     Does 5:15 am mean anything to you- in terms of someone's passing? or even May 15th for a passing, birthday or anniversary? spirits work with numbers in strange ways.  

     If this helps you pinpoint who it is, talk with them and tell them not to wake you in the mornings and that you get the message. 

   Another thing to do is watch your dogs to see if they are "looking" at an empty space. They can see ghosts and spirits - and when they do stare at "nothing" take the time to talk with the entity and tell it to please leave, and that this is your home.

Picture Proof of a Ghostly Face: in "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead" by Rob Gutro

Original orb in the furnace room

Here's an inside look at my second book "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead" - that offers picture proof of a female ghost.
  It's a rare occasion to get such an amazingly clear picture of a ghost, and I'm not a big believer in orbs, but this photo certainly added a lot of proof that orbs are the most simple form a ghost can take.   These photos were part of an investigation where a family was experiencing a lot of paranormal things. - Without knowing any details I entered the home with medium Troy Cline (we're both on the Inspired Ghost Tracking group) and over a couple of hours determined two women were brutally murdered in the home. We sensed they were murdered and dragged through a furnace room in the home.

  Later, investigators went back and took photos and captured an orb in the very same furnace room!  Seen here. We enlarged it and found what I believe to be the face of one of the murdered women. They linger to help protect whatever new family is living in the home.
 - We confirmed the double murder after our investigation, with ages, names, etc. Read the entire investigation in my book "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead" by Rob Gutro.

Getting a Message Part 6: Sounds and Voice

This is the sixth part in my blogs about getting a message from a spirit or Earth-bound ghost. Another way that they can communicate with you is through sounds or voice. Spirits can even bring you by someone that says something that your late loved one used to say, so that you know that your loved one's spirit is there with you.
   Mostly, spirits and ghosts will move things or put pressure on something in your house to make noise. I've read one story of a spirit that would go up and down stairs to check on the children upstairs (I believe it was a grandparent's spirit). They made the noise to let their family members know that they were around and watching over their grandchildren. Of course, the people didn't get it until they went to a medium.
   If you turn the shower on and stand waiting for it to heat up and you hear music (and there's no one one or outside), you're likely hearing music from the spirit world, and someone is trying to let you know they're there. I've heard music a lot whenever I turn on the shower - usually it's low and almost undiscernable, but sometimes I've heard classical music, other times, more big band (which my dad used to play).

   Sometimes spirits or ghosts will even get enough energy to speak aloud so we can hear them. If they can't muster that much energy, they can still be heard by dogs and cats, or picked up on digital recorders. One October, at around 6 am after my partner left for work, I went back to bed and put our  three dogs on the bed. From the kitchen, I heard my dad's voice call my name and all three dogs looked toward the kitchen - they heard him, too!
  So, pay attention and listen carefully, you may be getting an audible sign from your loved one!

An Amazing Reiki and Meditation, Message Session

On February 18, some members of Inspired Ghost Tracking and a few others gathered at the home of Reiki master Nancy Turner for meditation and Reiki. Nancy is an amazing, talented sensitive who enabled me and others to get in touch with their spirit guides and taught us how to best meditate.
   My friend and protege (I like to think of him that way) Kyle is an amazing developing medium, who has healing powers, and has even learned astral projection (something I couldn't even begin to do). Mary identified him as a former Shaman and he understood (as did I). He came on his first ghost investigation with me and my partner, and we confirmed each other all the way through the house with various ghosts who linger there. Kyle came to meditation on the 18th, and found it extremely beneficial, too.
  Mary Peck, another Reiki master who understands crystals and stones, was also present. She is extremely knowledgeable in the healing properties of all of them.
 

Cindy, Laurie, Rob (me), Kyle (back), Mary, Amy doing Reiki on me

REIKI SESSION - At the end of the session, Nancy asked if there were anything else to address and I mentioned strong muscle tension in my neck and shoulder. I've had it for 2 months and only acupuncture had helped lessen the tension.  Immediately Mary and Nancy went to work with Reiki (transferring energy) and healing my neck and shoulder. The tension actually melted away.
 
MESSAGES RECEIVED -
During the session Nancy got great messages from my mom (who passed on Dec. 29). Nancy said that my mom was in the room, and said that I liked to take people under my wing and help them along. Of course, Kyle is one of those people. It was really special to get messages from my mom (I sensed she was sitting on a chair next to me, and she told me "So, this is what it's like to go to one of these meditations.").
  While I was meditating I also got some messages. One of them was very strong and turned out to be a relative of one of the people there. The spirit that came through gave me "Marj or Marg." She also said that there's a Jeff or Jeffrey that's either on the other side or still living that is connected (it's the spirit's son as it turns out). The spirit then showed me an arched church window and said that she was somewhat religious. Then she said, "When I died, there was no Jesus or saints around to greet me, dammit. Only my relatives were there!"  That clinched it for the person in the room! She said that was her personality.
  I also kept seeing the face of  a horse, and a Native American - with a red feather. Nancy said that's her Native American spirit that visits a lot.
  Over all, it was an interesting night, filled with meditations, finding our peaceful places in our minds, geting messages and Reiki healing. These are things that you can do yourself, too. Just find time to meditate, light candles, play soft, relaxing music (Pandora has a relaxation channel) and meditate!

Getting a Message Part 5: Feelings and Feeling

Credit: http://5th-teens-rainbow.blogspot.com/

This is the fifth part in getting messages. Getting feelings is one of the ways I usually get my messages from Earth-bound ghosts or spirits who have crossed over. When spirits or ghosts connect with me, they will sometimes share the pain they experienced to tell me how they passed. I've felt a blow to the head, shot, stabbed, punched, heart attack, shortness of breath, severe abdominal pain, and once while walking through a castle in England I felt a ghostly sword slice through my left shoulder.
  In addition, I've also felt the emotions that spirits or ghosts experience. Whenever a spirit comes through, sometimes the love they're sharing is overwhelming and it literally brings me to tears. Other spirits direct me to hug the person they're communicating to through me.
   Ghosts and spirits will also convey they are present by poking, moving things, and more. When my dad passed, his spirit came to me that night and gave me a cold hug in my kitchen, some 400 miles away. Why was it cold, and why do ghost hunters comment on "cold spots" when ghosts are communicating?  Because of energy. fast moving molecules of air are present in warm air. when the energy is removed (by a ghost or spirit so they can energize), the  molecules slow down and the air cools.
  So, spirits and ghosts can communicate their feelings, either physical or emotional, and make us feel them, too.

Getting a Message Part 4: Dreams

This is part four in a series of how to acknowledge messages. One of the easiest ways for us to get messages from the other side is to see our loved ones in our dreams.When we lose a loved one we immediately want a sign from them that they're okay. Because our GRIEF blocks those signals, one of the easiest ways for spirits to come to us then, is in our dreams. When we're awake, not only does grief block out signs, but so does our logical minds. We're always taught to explain things or discount them as being a coincidence. There is no such thing as a coincidence.

I Had a Dream of My Mom! What does it mean? - My mom passed away on Dec. 29, 2013, so the event is still very raw to me. When I awoke on Thursday, January 16th, I remembered that I dreamt of my mother. She was in her kitchen, looking decades younger and all dressed up. Almost like this picture I took in 2005, but mom appeared about 20 years younger (in her 50s). She said that I need to "put this on your key tag" - and handed me something off her house and car keys. I'm not sure what the object was - perhaps a tag, or a key. Whatever it was, she wanted me to carry something of hers with me. I think that that was the message.

My mom in her kitchen, similar to how I saw her in the dream

WHAT DOES A SPIRIT IN A DREAM MEAN?  Spirits come into our dreams usually when they can't convey a message to us in other ways. They come to us to show us that they're okay on the other side. Usually it's a peaceful setting. My partner  dreamt of someone who passed walking through a meadow with him - that's a common scenario.
   What's interesting is that after my dad passed he never came to me in a dream. Likely because he was so active in my waking moments. He played with electricity, gave me messages I could understand, I heard him, sensed him and even saw him. With my mom, I heard her a couple of times, and she gave me the musical sign. This was a really great confirmation.
   Don't feel frustrated if your loved one doesn't come to you in a dream. They may have tried other ways to contact you and have been unsuccessful. It doesn't mean they're ignoring you. In fact, it's likely quite the opposite. They're likely on the other side saying "Why doesn't my loved one just see the darn signs I'm giving them!?!"

Getting a Message Part 3: Music/Words

Spirits love to use television, radio and music as a means to communicate with us. Spirits and ghosts are both made up of energy and their personalities and memories. As energy, they have the ability to tune into electricity and radio/tv waves and they can manipulate it. On the other side, spirits would also know what radio station is playing what song, so they can influence you to turn a certain radio station on at a certain time, to hear a song that will remind you of them.
   The same thing goes for television. You may walk into your living room and d

ecide to see what's on television, and hit the remote to pick a channel. The channel may be showing a program or actor that they loved when they were on the physical plane. That's because they're influencing you to turn on the TV at that particular time, to send you a message that they're with you.
  Music is especially healing and a great means for spirits to communicate. When my puppy Buzz passed, I came into the house after the terrible accident that took his life and I heard Alan Jackson's song "(My heart is as empty as a) Monday Morning Church." It was the song of a man singing about the loss of the love of his life. That was no coincidence. It was a message from Buzz.
  So, pay attention to music, what's being said on TV or on the radio whenever you're inspired to turn them on... or if you put a CD in your car and the song reminds you of someone who passed... know they are there with you.

My note to Anyone Whose Loved one is Failing

I wrote this note to a friend whose mother is dying in a hospital, and please share it with anyone you know who is facing the same situation. Hopefully it will bring them comfort. 
   It seems that December, January and the first couple of days of February have been filled with notes of people passing.  - Rob 

   I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. My mom just passed on Dec. 29. I wanted to remind you that even though she's failing, she's still going to be around you. My mom gave signs when she was in a coma (a musical sign) that it was her time. She gave me signs and messages after she passed, too. 
   Our bodies are just a physical shell for our souls and spirit and they wear down, but our spirit doesn't. I read your note about hoping your mom doesn't have pain. When my partner and I finally got to Boston (from Maryland) and saw my mom, the hardest thing was telling her it was okay to pass, because I didn't want to see her suffer anymore (she was in a coma and had little chance of any recovery- other than living with 100% assistance and a feeding tube- which she would never want). So, I told her it was okay to cross over, and felt my dad and other (late) relatives spirits in the room. She crossed the next day. 
   You have shown your mom great love and given her the best gift-  permission to go on to the next stage of life. 
   Saying "goodbye" isn't really a "goodbye," because our loved ones spirits live on around us, help us, watch over us, guide us and protects us a lot easier than they did when they were living in a physical body. We're just not going to see their physical bodies anymore, but we will feel them around us. It's just the transition that is difficult, but over time you'll realize they're still with you.
 Love and hugs, Rob

Getting a Message Part 2: Being Creative

Spirits will influence us to do things. Sometimes we'll do things we don't usually think of, and that may be the mark of a guiding hand from the other side. For example, if you're sitting listening to a lecture and you're doodling, you may draw a ship. If you happen to next look at a calendar, you may realize that your grandma went on a cruise a couple of years ago on this date. That would mean that she's influencing you to draw a ship because she's near you. There is no such thing as a coincidence.
   If you're inspired to write to someone out of the blue, it may be because some spirit attached to the person you decide to write to has influenced you. The spirit could influence you to write to their loved one because they need to hear from someone that day.
   Spirit may move you to pick up a box of old photos and dig them out to scan and put on your computer (how many of us keep saying we'll do that!?). Then, you find a photo of your Aunt Tillie and Uncle Richard and memories come flooding in. They inspired you to go to the box and find the picture to scan them in!
    So, writing, drawing, baking, cooking, crafting, etc. can all be suggestions from spirit telling us they're around.

Great Ghost Investigation and an Amazing Budding Medium

Rob, Kyle, Tom

I participated in a great investigation recently with the Inspired Ghost Tracking Group and  I got to take along a budding medium named Kyle who really has an amazing gift.
  He knew he had an ability but had never used it on a ghost investigation. This was his first investigation and he was more than ready for it.  He confirmed things that Ronda, Tom and I were sensing. He got names that matched former residents in the house. He saw the same female ghost depart a room when I did.

Rob and Ronda did Q&As

   When we investigate a house, the mediums will go in first to see what they get, and we (the mediums) are not given any information. When we entered the house, we stayed in another room as the docent filled in the rest of the Inspired staff about the house's history and residents. 
   The mediums will write down things that they get as they go from room to room, and I'll even sketch out things, and people that I see still dwelling in the home as ghosts. I did sketch an infant as I saw the infant in the home.

A ghostly woman was laying on this bed

    I also saw a lady in black and received a number of messages from her. We were able to identify her through a specific piece of jewelry she showed me. We later found a painting of her wearing that particular piece of jewelry elsewhere in the house (In a room we had not yet entered)! I also saw the woman laying on a bed as we entered a room (which we later learned she was known to dwell in as a ghost).
   There were also several other children's ghosts in the home, and Kyle, Tom and I were able to get names, ages, and more. I learned how they passed, too, because they shared the symptoms of their illness with me.
   Kyle identified a young boy named Tommy (whom we confirmed lived in the home), and he and Tom saw the boy peering around corners from time to time. At one point, I heard the boy giggle and I chased him as he ran upstairs, across the house, and downstairs to the second floor where he disappeared. The various children's ghosts told several of us that they loved playing hide and seek in the home.

  Another thing that I do during an investigation is channel a ghost. That involves Ronda asking me questions as I meditate and let the ghost provide answers through me. Ronda, Tom, Kyle and I sat in a circle and a young girl came through to me, providing answers and insight into who she was and why she was there.
    This was an amazing first session for Kyle, who will continue developing his abilities, so he can help ghosts cross over. It's also exciting to me to help mentor him with the staff of Inspired Ghost Tracking.
  In a later blog, I'll likely provide more information about the location, ghosts, and proof after obtaining permissions. I felt it important to share this to give you an idea how investigations are conducted, and that we should work with budding mediums,who need to learn to trust the messages they receive.

Getting a Message Part 1: Concentration

This is Part 1 in a 7 Part series of how to "get messages" from those on the other side. I hope you find this information helpful, and please share with me any questions! You can email me at Rgutro@gmail.com.

Whenever I give talks or go on investigations with Inspired Ghost Tracking (the group I belong to as a medium on staff), I get questions about the environment in which I receive the messages. People ask if I can get messages when its loud and busy or mostly quiet. Mostly the messages come through when it's quiet (although some boisterous spirits with strong personalities can come through in crowds or loud environments). I mostly get messages from ghosts or spirits whenever I find myself relaxed (I'm usually relaxed on an investigation, too).

blot out your surroundings

  Not being one to meditate, I actually find that my mind is clear and I'm relaxed while doing certain activities, as you likely do. Next time you're doing one of the following things, listen closely and see if you hear something out of the ordinary, like music or a voice, or get a thought in your head that doesn't seem to be anything you would think of - then you're likely getting  a message from a ghost or spirit.
   These are the places that I get messages and relax:
1) driving
2) in front of the computer
3) in the shower or bath
4) laying in bed trying to go to sleep with my eyes closed
5) if the environment is quiet
    Of course, if you can meditate, do it!  Go put to pandora.com and type in "relaxation channel." That will help soothe you.  Then focus. Focus on your heartbeat and block the thoughts of whatever is happening in your world out. Picture a flower in the center of your vision and focus on it. Then listen. See what messages you pick up.

Great letter from a Reader!

I really enjoy getting emails from people who have read either or both of my two books (Ghosts and Spirits or Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead) and found comfort from them. This is one such letter that I just had to share.  - Rob
 
**************************************************
Rob -  I just had to write to tell you that I read pg. 60 of Ghosts and Spirits last night.  This page especially really hit home for me.  Let me tell you why as briefly as I can....

8 years ago, my 16 year-old niece Rachel was killed in a car accident on Route 222 here in Berks County.  A week or so after her death, I was in a store walking down an empty aisle when I noticed a shiny penny on the floor directly in front of me.  I have never taken notice of pennies before, but something about this one made me pick it up.  The saying "pennies from heaven" powerfully swept through my mind.  I just had to have that penny.  Later that evening I called my mom to tell her about this penny, and how I absolutely believed that Rachel meant for me to find it.  For a few years after that, my parents, my sister, and I have seen pennies in unusual places or under unusual circumstances such as propped up against a wall in the corner of my dad's office.  While living, my niece and I and other family members were  very close.  We've kept these penny stories private between us only.  We felt it was a secret was that she was communicating with us. 

 A few years ago, my mother passed away.  I still get pennies showing up in places that don't really make sense.  For example,a year ago my library at school had just finished being remodeled.  I had over 200 boxes of books to unpack and an entire library to put back together in just 3 days. I was under a tremendous amount of stress.  One day as I was trying to muddle through the unpacking, a penny was lying right in the middle of the library floor.  Now, I had walked in that space a million times during those unpacking days and never saw that penny there! 

Last night I awoke at 2:30 in the morning unable to fall back to sleep.  I reached over to my bedside table where your book is, picked it up, and pg. 60 just happened to be where my fingers landed.  Never before have I read anything that you mentioned about pennies.  I never knew that pennies were a way loved ones communicate.  I just thought I made it up. 

So...THANK YOU!  Thank you for this reaffirmation.  What peace it has brought me.  I shared it with my dad this evening over the phone.  He too was happy to hear those words you penned.

MY RESPONSE:

Dear N.P. -  Wow! This is awesome. 
  That's an example of spirit working to make people meet, to help get messages through.
 You and I were meant to meet- through your article on Tyler. Obviously, Rachel and your mom were behind the meeting between us so you could get confirmation of the signs from her. I actually wondered how you wound up coming to me about Tyler when there are so many other countless adoption stories. Now I know why. :)
    Sometimes the year on the penny will have some significance to the spirit or to you and their memory or family event. If the year on the penny is after they passed, it relates to a significant event in the year, where they were with you.
  I just gave a talk on how loved ones communicate signs to the living, and I'm giving it again on Dec. 7th in Chantilly, VA. I may also be giving it in Baltimore in 2014 in Ellicott City, so I'll keep you posted. It may prove healing to your dad, and your niece's family.
  She wants to let you know that she and your mom are together and that they're both safe and able to see you all and watch over you. They also can influence some things you do. For example, you may find yourself cooking something that your mom liked to cook and think of her- that would be a sign that she's influenced you to cook that dish. Or you may hear a song on the radio that reminds you of your niece or see someone that resembles her- those are signs from your neice that she's around you.
  SO glad to hear that it has brought you comfort. 
Sending a hug,
Rob

An Important Musical Sign from My Mom

On December 22, 2013, my mother had a massive stroke and was rushed to the hospital. She was transferred to a major hospital in Boston where she lay comatose for 7 days. The prognosis was very bad, and I was told that it was just a matter of time before she passed.

My mom loved to laugh

   While she lay incapicitated, she managed to send a musical sign to me and my husband. It came on December 24th, while we were having Chinese food, as is the tradition in my family to enjoy on Christmas Eve.
   When people are in a comatose state, they have the ability to leave their bodies and communicate with people anywhere in the world.  That's exactly what happened.
    During dinner, we were listening to Christmas music being pumped in over the intercom. Within 30 minutes, we heard my mom's favorite song, "Ave Maria" twice! 
What's even more weird is that after listening to Christmas music since mid-November every day, we had never heard that song played before.
  We both instantly knew that it was my mom, telling me that it was her time to go, and asking us to get up to Boston before she did. My mother passed away on December 29, 2013.

A Different Way to Look at Wakes

On Dec. 29, my mom passed away after a severe stroke. It's been a challenging time for me and my family. The services were on Jan. 1 and 2, and I looked at the wake in a different way.  I guess I've turned around on my take on their purpose after being able to talk with people "on the other side." They wants us to talk about the ways they touched our lives, the funny things they did, the interesting events around them, the friendships, the fun and the difference they made in the lives of anyone. It's a way to pay tribute to the person we lost in the physical world and recognize all of the people they touched. So next time you go to a wake, keep that in mind, and tell the family of the person how the person who passed touched your life.
  - Later, I'll blog more about the events and messages I received from my mother over the last two weeks. Please keep her and my family in your thoughts as everyone struggles to live without talking with and interacting with my mom in the physical world. 
  Thanks,

A Great Read: All You Know Is What You Think You Know Paperback

A wonderful book for anyone curious about Paranormal/ghosts/spirits etc.,

By Rob Gutro

 

  I had the good fortune to meet Clay and his wife Joy at the SpiritWatch conference in Nov. 2013 and they are amazing, warm, caring and talented people. They belong to a group of paranormal investigators called SpiritWatch and help people with paranormal problems. I just read Clay's book and makes you think about things we have come to know or think we know about ghosts, spirits, demons, mediums, shamans, angels, etc. He lets the reader decide about things, He provides photographic proof of ghosts and asks what you see. The author shares some amazing stories of personal experiences, too. It's a book that an
- Rob Gutro, author "Ghosts and Spirits" and "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead"
yone with interest in the Paranormal should read. I highly recommend this book.

BOOK SUMMARY: Clay Smith's life has been a full and varied one. From being a traveling musician, working in the corporate world as well as being a private business owner, becoming a husband, father and grandfather, Clay thought he had experienced it all. Then, due to life circumstances and uncanny coincidences, a world unknown to most, opened its doors, welcomed him in and changed his perspective on all things 'real'. Spirits, ghosts, mediums, shamans, demons and angels all became familiar words in his vocabulary and commonplace in his everyday life. This writing shares those experiences and insights into his journey and offers something for everyone; the believer and non believer, and the over believer. Read. Learn. Question.
