My NEW BOOK Coming in Days: Kindred Spirits: When a Medium Befriends a Spirit

I am so excited about the publication of my latest book and it's coming out in a day or two. 
It's about how a spirit has connected with me so much over the last 14 years that he's become like a best friend.  Here's the Interesting part: I never met him in life!  He died in 1996. 
 - It will be available on Amazon.com for just $6.99 paperback and $3.49 Kindle...   
Watch for the Publish Date!! - Rob Gutro


Kindred Spirits: When a Medium Befriends a Spirit 

ABOUT THE BOOK

It's uncommon for a medium really get know a spirit so well that the living person considers the spirit a best friend. But that's exactly what happened to medium and paranormal investigator Rob Gutro. When Rob met his partner Tom in 2005, Ed's spirit came along for the ride. Rob never knew Ed in life, but Tom did. Now, Ed often communicates to Rob and has revealed his sense of humor, his heart, and helped solved the mystery of his passing. Ed's "Spirit Treasure Hunt" showed his family he's with them, too. Ed even sent a look-alike to rescue Rob during a vacation in England. As you read about this special spirit named Ed and his sometimes funny communications, you'll learn signs your loved ones send. This book will teach you how to be more aware of messages from your loved ones in spirit.


"Being a friend with Ed in spirit is like having a friend who lives in another state" - Author Rob Gutro describing his relationship with Ed's spirit.

A Meaningful Number from a Dog's Spirit

Sometimes, spirit will give me numbers that either signify a time, date or other thing that is intensely personal to them or the person getting the reading. In one reading I gave, Patricia's dog was particularly adamant about sharing the number 723. The meaning became clear.


Patricia Maddaluna Gasparro said:  Rob gave me the number from my dog 723. After I thought about it and checked with my veterinarian office July 23 was the date that my dog was diagnosed with cancer. Of course I’m still looking everywhere for that number just in case there are other things too! Rob is amazing!

So, how do dogs and cats convey numbers?  They hear us talk about the numbers , and can relay them back to us. Whether we say a number as a date of an event, a birthday, anniversary, holiday or something connected to them. They basically repeat the numbers, as a way to prove their identity.

For more ways about how pets communicate from the afterlife, read Rob Gutro's books "Pets and the Afterlife" and "Pets and the Afterlife 2" available on Amazon.com in Paperback (under $10) and E-book (under $3.99).

Joy says: Is someone not being forthcoming? Perhaps you are hiding a truth from someone else or yourself? With yesterday's and today's card right next to each other, it seems like there needs to be a heart to heart with someone. Stop lying to yourself or others.

A Review I Like: from Amazon about "Pets and the Afterlife"


Here's the latest review of my book Pets and the Afterlife, from a pet parent. The review was posted on Amazon.com on July 1. I'm always glad to hear that people have found answers and comfort.



1. New! VegasAgent reviewed Pets and the Afterlife
Offers comfort that couldn't be found elsewhere 
 July 1, 2019
My Pomeranian passed away at the beginning of May, after 16 1/2 years together. She had been ill, but was doing better, and then one day, her health did a 180 from the night before. I had to make the most horrific decision a pet parent ever has to make. I cannot describe the pain, and emptiness that followed. I found myself doubting my choice, and questioning what she must have thought of me. Did she think I just gave up on her? Did she think I didn't love her enough, and that after all the love she showed me, my thanks was to have her life taken from her? I found myself starting to panic and question things I never really gave much thought to before; Will I really get to be with her again? How do we know they will be waiting for us? I was inconsolable, and I have never wailed the way I did in the week following her passing. Truth be told, I still have not gone one day without crying over her.

The day after she died, my mom gave me Rob's name, and told me how a few of her friends had met him and experienced his gift. I immediately found this book, and downloaded it. It was very difficult to get through more than a few pages at a time, because I just couldn't control the tears. However, the further I got, the more comfort and peace I started to feel.
I also found a podcast on his website, which was also extremely insightful and offered relief to all the questions that were plaguing me. He has a sincerity in his tone, and his writing sounds more like a friend explaining things to you, than just reading a random book.

A month after my baby was set free (almost to the day), my mother suffered the same loss with her elderly dog. Like me, she values her animals and her bond with them over people, so I know she was experiencing the same soul-crushing agony that I was. My mom doesn't have digital books, so I immediately ordered the paperback and had it sent to her, as I know it will help bring some comfort.

Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who finds themselves in a whirlwind of questions and painful emotions. Thanks to this book, I was able to take solace in the fact that my questions, fears, doubts, and guilt, are shared by many pet parents. I don't know if I will ever feel certain that I made the right choice; there are always so many variables and what-if's, but I now know that I am not alone in those thoughts, and I have hope that she will sometimes be near, and that one day, I will have the joy of being reunited with her.

Last Night's Public Ghost Tour of Belmont Manor

Randy and Margaret do introductions
Last night 5 members of the Inspired Ghost Tracking or IGT group of Maryland, myself included,
gave a public tour of the Belmont Historic Mansion in Elkridge, Maryland. There were 33 people who signed up and showed up to meet the ghosts of this historic mansion.
IGT 'S FIRST INVESTIGATION  -
The Belmont Manor
   IGT conducted our first investigation of the Belmont in 2015 when it re-opened as an event facility. The property dates back to 1732, and the house had occupants who endured their own tragedies. In fact, some of them never left and remain as Earthbound ghosts. There are a couple of others who linger in the home that were not family members, however, and were just at one time, visitors. 
ORGANIZING THE EVENT - 
   Margaret, the founder split the groups into three sections. Margaret and Diane covered one side of the first floor, Randy and Ronda covered the other side and I (Rob) was on the second floor. 
THE IRRITATED GHOST - 
Ronda of IGT at the start of the night
  The "General" as I call him, is a ghost who helped plan the Iraq war of 1991 there at the Belmont (yes, it was planned there) and came back to haunt one room because he regrets the war (planned on bad intel as we all know now). He causes a LOT of people headaches, pressure and discomfort in one of the rooms and he was acting up last night giving me a big headache!

SOME SENSITIVE VISITORS -
  There were three people in the groups who were sensitive to ghosts and spirits and each had different gifts. One was psychic, one was a medium and the other read energy.

WANT TO GO? - 
  If you're interested in attending a tour of the Belmont and meeting the many (and there are many) ghosts who still dwell there, . Here's the info: It's the Belmont Manor Ghost Tour, at the Belmont Manor and Historic Park, 6555 Belmont Woods Road, Elkridge, MD Info: www.belmontmanormd.org or 410-313-0200.

Oliver Plunkett martyred in 1681 - was his ghost captured on video?

On This Day: Oliver Plunkett martyred in 1681 - was his ghost captured on video?
Kenneth Haynes @IrishCentral Jul 01, 2019

Saint Oliver Plunkett, the Archbishop of Armagh and Catholic Primate of All Ireland, was the last Catholic to be martyred in England. Born in 1629, Plunkett's ministry was set in troubled times.

The Catholic cause suffered greatly after the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland, which eventually resulted in a ban on the public practice of Catholicism. Many Catholic clergymen were executed, and Plunkett spent much of his life in hiding, working to advance faith in the Church from behind the scenes. Plunkett built schools both for the young and for clergy, whom he found "ignorant in moral theology," and took on the problem of alcoholism in the clergy writing, "Let us remove this defect from an Irish priest, and he will be a saint."

On July 1, 1681, Plunkett became the last Catholic martyr to die in England when he was hanged, drawn and quartered after a kangaroo court "trial." He was beatified in 1920 and canonized in 1975. In 1997, he became a patron saint, adopted by a prominent prayer group campaigning for peace in Ireland, and was named Saint Oliver Plunkett for Peace and Reconciliation.

The Ghost of Oliver Plunkett?

In 2010, British author Vikki Bramshaw claimed to have captured a ghostly apparition of Saint Oliver Plunkett on video while visiting Ireland.  Bramshaw said she only discovered the image of "the ghost" when she was later reviewing some of the cellphone footage she took at Saint Peter's Church in Drogheda, Co Louth, where Plunkett's head and other remains have been held since 1921.

"I don't really believe in ghosts or anything like that, so I was a bit spooked out to see it when I was checking my video when I got home," Bramshaw told a local Irish newspaper. "I visited Drogheda between March 10-17 and was taken around Newgrange and other tourist sites, and Saint Peter’s was just one of our stops," she said.

"I was just filming the cell door with my camera phone, and didn't notice anything unusual at the time, but when I checked it that night, I was definitely a bit spooked by what I saw."

The video shows what appears to be a face that appears at the small hatch in the door a number of times.
"I watched it, again and again, to see if it was a reflection, but there are other things reflected in the glass, and they're not moving, and this does," said Bramshaw, who lives in Southampton.
"I consider myself quite a down-to-earth person, and am keeping an open mind on what it might be."

There have been no other reported sightings of St. Oliver Plunkett in the church, and Bramshaw had no idea why he would have chosen her to make a first appearance.

Of course, Bramshaw was not exactly a stranger to the paranormal. She is the author of many books on witchcraft, including her latest, "Craft of the Wise: A Practical Guide to Paganism and Witchcraft."
Her biography on Amazon.com says, "Bramshaw is a student, teacher, and author of the esoteric mysteries and initiatory witchcraft. Having trained for almost 10 years under respected elders, she now runs her own coven who work on the edge of the New Forest, in Hampshire."

"I suppose I should be very honored if he did pick me," she added, "but it was very unnerving and a little bizarre to watch it back."
