Pets and (some) Vets don't like fireworks. So be considerate and be safe. Pets are afraid of fireworks, so
below are some safety tips and precautions you can take. (Unfortunately
if you live in a neighborhood with people who are inconsiderate, try to
generate white noise and even give your pet a Benadryl to make them
sleepy (1 tab over 30 lbs, 1/2 tab under 30 lbs).
Some Veterans who suffer from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) are
also afraid of fireworks, as the loud noises can trigger the PTSD. I heard from one veteran who said fireworks don't both him, but for others fireworks act as a trigger for PTSD, so this isn't meant to be inclusive, however, if you have a veteran living in your neighborhood and you don't know their situation or reactions, take the cautious approach and assume that fireworks do affect their PTSD. Bottom Line: If
you live in a neighborhood with a veteran, or where there are pets,
please, please be considerate and do not light off loud fireworks.
Earlier in the year during one of the public ghost investigations at the Belmont Manor in Elkridge, Maryland one of the public ghost hunters took two photos in the woods when she sensed something. The first photo showed nothing but blackness among the trees. The second photo had what appeared to be red eyes looking at her. The photos are below. What do you think? WHAT IS PAREDOLIA?Pareidolia (/pærᵻˈdoʊliə/ parr-i-DOH-lee-ə) is
a psychological phenomenon in which the mind responds to a stimulus (an
image or a sound) by perceiving a familiar pattern where none exists. It's like seeing a face in a cloud.
Do you see the red eyes on the right side?
FIGURING OUT THE PHOTOS - I'm not saying the photos are paredolia, however, One of the Inspired Ghost Tracking investigators suggested that the red lights could be a car's tail lights, or some kind of beacon n the other side of the woods. There are a number of things it could be, however, the photographer claimed she heard no car, and there's really not a road near the cemetery of the Belmont Manor, because it lies in the back of the property. Further, there are also no radio towers, and usually any lights are not that close. So, it could be paranormal...

In this last blog about our Our Annapolis Haunted Encounters you'll hear about the Ghosts in Shiplap House's Windows.
THE HISTORY OF THE SHIPLAP HOUSE - The Shiplap house is a pre-Victorian house, built around 1715, and is now used for offices for "Historic Annapolis." According to Waymarking.com, "This large, separate house is at the end of Pinkney Street in the historic downtown district of Annapolis, Maryland, just blocks away from the Maryland State House and the US Naval Academy. Shiplap House served as a store and tavern in the eighteenth century. The house is named for the random-width flush siding (called shiplap) on the rear facade and the north-east ell. " OUR EXPERIENCES - As Tom and I (we are both members of Inspired Ghost Tracking) walked by the house we were both drawn to the windows in the
Ghostly face in the window?
upstairs (second floor). We didn't know that this was the site of a former tavern, but we both saw figures moving around in the upstairs windows! However, the building was closed and no one was in it. I took a couple of pictures of the windows but didn't catch anything on film. However, we knew that there were ghosts moving from window to window. GHOSTS IN THE WINDOWS! - On the top left window, I (Rob) described a woman wearing a bonnet, who would be working in the building, circa 1759 or so, when it was a tavern. Then the ghost moved back and forth past the windows on the 2nd and 3rd floors (we both sensed them running back and forth). When we got home I enlarged the windows and came across what looks like the bottom half of a face, from nose down, peering out the top, right hand dormer window (3rd floor!). I checked for reflections, and since it was a cloud-less, clear, blue sky, it was not a reflection of a cloud.
Wow. What an amazing crowd at my talk last night called "Recognizing Signs from Spirits of Loved Ones" at the Belmont Mansion, Elkridge, Maryland. Thanks to Margaret Erhlich of Inspired Ghost Tracking who manages the event with the Belmont Manor and Historic Park (where we held it), and Ronda and Greg from the IGT team there supporting it, too. Each of them shared personal stories about how their loved ones gave them signs from spirit as did so many in the audience. So many in the audience were able to relate to the different signs I talked about, and felt comforted. Even a turkey I mentioned was a personal sign to someone!
It was a very moving and uplifting event for me, the rest of the IGT team and the audience. I hope that they tell others, so that more people can find peace knowing their loved ones are around them.

A fascinating study-
The mystery of death is not to be told. It is something to be
experienced. We all know one thing for sure: we are all going to die one
day. And when we do die, we may not get the opportunity to come back
and explain our experience.
Many religions believe in life after death. It is said the soul goes
out of the body to live a new life in the spiritual realm. A wicked
person is sent to hell to be tormented by a blazing fire, while a
righteous person is sent to heaven to live an eternal and joyful life.
However, scientists believe that this religious interpretation of death is just a mythology. Some researchers have therefore devoted themselves to unraveling this mystery. The starting point: establish that there is some sort of life after death.
At the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom, researchers have confirmed in a new study that there is indeed life after death. The study has been published in the online journal Resuscitation.
The study is said to be the largest ever medical study into near-death and out-of-body experiences.
The study revealed that some awareness may continue even after the
brain has shut down completely. A human being is pronounced clinically
dead if the heart stops beating and the brain shuts down. The condition
can also be called cardiac arrest. According to the researchers,
they spent four years examining more than 2,000 people who suffered
cardiac arrests at 15 hospitals in the United Kingdom, the United States
and Austria. They found that nearly 40 percent of people who survived
their resuscitation, described some kind of awareness during the time
when they were clinically dead.
Of the 2,060 cardiac arrest patients studied, 330 survived and of 140
surveyed, 39 percent said they had experienced some kind of awareness
while being resuscitated. Although many of them could not recall
specific details, some themes emerged. One in five said they had felt an
unusual sense of peacefulness, while nearly one third said time had
slowed down or speeded up.
Some recalled seeing a bright light; a golden flash or the Sun
shining. Others recounted feelings of fear, drowning or being dragged
through deep water, 13 percent said they had felt separated from their
bodies, and the same number said their senses had been heightened.
A 57-year-old man from Southampton, who was pronounced dead for three
minutes, said he left his body entirely, watching his resuscitation
from the corner of the room. He was able to accurately recount the
actions of the nursing staff and the sound of the machines used in his
resuscitation process.
Lead researcher of the study, Dr Sam Parnia said the study accurately revealed that people experience some awareness after death.
Dr Parnia was quoted as saying: “We
know the brain can’t function when the heart has stopped beating. But
in this case, conscious awareness appears to have continued for up to
three minutes into the period when the heart wasn’t beating, even though
the brain typically shuts down within 20-30 seconds after the heart has
stopped. The man described everything that had happened in the room,
but importantly, he heard two bleeps from a machine that makes a noise
at three minute intervals. So we could time how long the experience
lasted for. He seemed very credible and everything that he said had
happened to him had actually happened.”
Dr Parnia also added that many more people may have experienceswhen they are close to death, but the drugs or sedatives used in the process of resuscitation may stop them remembering.
“Estimates have suggested that
millions of people have had vivid experiences in relation to death but
the scientific evidence has been ambiguous at best. Many people have
assumed that these were hallucinations or illusions but they do seem to
corresponded to actual events. And a higher proportion of people may
have vivid death experiences, but do not recall them due to the effects
of brain injury or sedative drugs on memory circuits. These experiences
warrant further investigation,” Dr Parnia said.
Commenting on the study, the editor-in-chief of the journal Resuscitation,
Dr Jerry Nolan said Dr Parnia and his colleagues are to be
congratulated on the completion of a fascinating study that will open
the door to more extensive research into what happens when we die.

Warehouse sign
I've sensed a woman outside of one of the old buildings before, and she continued to stand on the southeastern corner of a white building known as the Waterfront Warehouse. She didn't work in the warehouse in the early 1800s, but she was murdered outside of it by a man with long curly hair (so I (Rob) sensed). It's really weird to get these images when you're just standing outside on a sidewalk in front of a building, but after proving them for many years, you go with it and trust it.
The Waterfront Warehouse is on the corner of "Market Space" and Pinkney Street" in downtown old Annapolis, about 2 blocks from the dock.
Historic display in the warehouse
Stairway to the 2nd floor of the warehouse
What's interesting is that the warehouse itself is not haunted. The ghostly woman, who wears a bonnet and a shawl of sorts, stands outside in front of the right corner. That's where she was murdered by a vagabond who apparently came off of one of the ships at night, and was seeking pleasure (that she refused to give) and money, which she didn't have, so he took her life.
