Event Photos: Amazing Time at the Strathmore Halloween Tea

1st floor sitting room

Yesterday afternoon I was the speaker at the famous Strathmore Mansion Halloween Tea event in Bethesda, Maryland. During this afternoon tea event I spoke about how spirits communicate with loved ones. I did make an entrance in my Superman Jacket, just to get in the "spirit" of the holiday.

There were 50 people in the audience and several had their own experiences with both earthbound ghosts and spirits that crossed over. Their own stories and experiences were amazing.

I want to take the time to give a tremendous thank you to Mary, who manages the mansion events and teas and invited me back (this was my third time back, but first time as a solo speaker). It was the perfect way to spend a Halloween afternoon. I also want to thank my friends Linda and Lynn (and her sister) for being there, too. It means so much to have the love and support of great friends.

Here are some pictures from the Strathmore. If you haven't been, you need to go!  Whether for an Afternoon English Tea, the art exhibits at the mansion, or the concerts at the mansion. There's so much to enjoy. - Rob

Joy Andreasen's Tarot Tuesday: Six of Cups

Today's card is the Six of Cups.
   Joy Andreasen  provides the interpretation of Tarot cards on these Tarot Tuesdays:
Today you may find your past is coming back to your experience. Either someone from your past shows up in your life, or you may find you are interested in knowing more about your family history, or you are forced to face an unresolved issue from the past. When we are children, we live in the now. We rarely worry about the past or the future, other than wondering when we will take the next trip to the ice cream Shoppe. Think about that today. Whatever you are attempting to manifest, imagine it is in the past. Imagine you already have it. Think about how that feels. The biggest roadblock sometimes to manifesting our dreams is thinking about the object of our desires as if it is in the vague future.
 ABOUT JOY: Joy Andreasen is an author, shamanic practitioner, psychic medium, spiritual consultant, Reiki Master Teacher and wedding officiant. She has been giving messages from Spirit for almost twenty years. She teaches spiritual development and shamanic classes in Winchester and Herndon Virginia which are always highly acclaimed.  She has compiled some of these messages into a book which is available on her website, www.whispersofjoy.net. Her  goal is to be of service to others in whatever way is most beneficial to their souls.

Annapolis Ghost Walk: A Ghost in the Photo!?!

Top: no light, bottom, a bar of white light appears! 

During a recent historic Annapolis Ghost Walk in Maryland we wound up getting what very likely could be a GHOST in a photo we took with the tour guide.  
"A Special Historic Haunting tour of Annapolis" was a 90 minute tour put on by Watermark and Historic Annapolis. It included a rare tour of the historic Sands House and we were led by an amazing tour guide. 

THE BEST TOUR GUIDE-  We were fortunate enough to get a guy dressed as a pirate and named "Saggy Boots" because his 2 foot high boots would sag. Not only was he handsome, but he put on a great British accent (we think it was put on), and he memorized and recited long poems he composed about two hauntings. He was amazing (and cute).

THE GHOST IN THE GRAVEYARD - Ghosts don't usually haunt graveyards, but there is a well-known ghost who walks around a graveyard in Annapolis that circles a church. The church is St. Anne's Episcopal Church. It's an historic Episcopal church located in Church Circle, 199 Duke of Gloucester St, Annapolis, MD 21401. The first church in Annapolis, it was founded in 1692. A man in all black has been seen walking around the cemetery literally for hundreds of years. Our tour guide, "Saggy Boots the pirate" said that the ghost is known to a Sexton named James Simpson. A Sexton is a person who looks after a church and churchyard, sometimes acting as bell-ringer and formerly as a gravedigger.

THE PHOTO - Our tour guide's wife took my cell phone to take our picture with him. She only had my camera in her hand, and there was no one else taking pictures. We were standing in the dark cemetery and there was no light source within 100 feet or more (across the street). There is no explanation for the bar of white light that appeared in the second photo taken immediately after the first photo. I knew we were in the company of someone who had passed on and was roaming around as a ghost, so this may have been the ghost who was standing between us. What do you think?
