Our Annapolis Haunted Encounters Part 1: Ghost Shot in the Eye

In today's blog we're going to take you to a new shop that opened in downtown Annapolis where we
both had a weird experience. There's a shop on the corner of Market Street (I can't see the cross street on the sign and don't remember it) across from the State House. There was something weird going on in that shop.  
  The shop is filled with art work, pottery, jewelry, paintings and other decorative things. There are many nice things within, and some strange things, too. The shop was apparently the location of a former florist as there are 4 large freezer cases (or they used to be) that now act as a showcase for artwork.
  It was the basement, however, where things happened. Tom sensed a man crouching in the northeast corner of the basement, and it was there that I had a very strong pain in my left eye. I (Rob)  realized that the man (ghost) was either stabbed, shot or punched in the eye. It was likely that he was shot or stabbed since he was dead, and died in that building. He still haunts it today. It's unknown what his name is, or what he was doing there, but it seems to me that it was either a tavern or a brothel in the late 1700s.
   Regardless, there's a ghost in that shop, and we wonder what strange things happen in there. Next time we visit the city, I'll have to ask if they have experiences.

Tarot Tuesday: The King of Pentacles

Here's this week's Tarot lesson from my friend Joy Andreasen of Whispers of Joy: The King of Pentacles.

Abundance means different things to different people. Abundance is not just money. The feeling of abundance is all about what makes life joyful for you. If you are a millionaire but are miserable, then you are not abundant. Every day, do something that brings you joy. Never make a decision based upon how much money you will make. Make it based upon how much joy you will derive from life. Obviously we all need money to live, but joy is what makes us truly rich. Just for today, think of abundance as what gives you joy, and work towards doing that more often.

Q&A: How do I tell who is sending me a sign?

 Recently I received the following great question about spirit, and here's my response:

Q: Is there a way to know for sure who is giving me signs from spirit? 

A:    Here's how to know which spirit is giving you a message:
1) If you're thinking about that person or pet, then that is who is dropping a coin, making an insect or bird act strangely, etc.
2) If the sign comes around the time of a birthday, anniversary or holiday, or date associated with them - like the adoption anniversary or anniversary of someone's passing, wedding, date they met you, etc.
3) If you find a coin, the year on it will give a clue to whom is around you
4) If you're missing someone in particular at that time, and thinking about them they often want to let you know they are with you.

Frank the St. Bernard's Physical and Dream Signs

Frank the active St. Bernard spirit

I received the following note from Kaitlyn who told me how Frank, her Saint Bernard who passed provided a number of different signs. She allowed me to share them as a way to show how pets can communicate from the afterlife.

Kaitlin wrote:

Hi. I just finished your book "pets and the afterlife" and I loved it. My sweet baby frank just passed away two weeks ago ;( I've never been more sad about anything. I'm lucky to be very spiritual and open minded. I knew I was getting signs from him and after reading your book I am definitely reassured.

Signs such as a gate falling over three different times in his room. When he was alive it never fell over once.

Playing with his gate

I was actually reading your book last night and got to the chapter about pets and how they are connected to their ashes. I got up from reading and I looked in his room where his lashes are under the light fixture. The light was on. I never turned it on.

And of course I see him in my dreams. Your book really brought me a lot of comfort and now I know I'm not just going crazy

I am really pleased to see that Kaitlin was able to recognize Frank's signs. Obviously, his spirit is quite active in her house. Frank told me that he's "far from done!" so Kaitlin is going to get a lot more notice that Frank is still around.

My thanks to Kaitlin for allowing me to share this story.
