Archaeology: Bronze Age tradition of keeping human remains uncovered

Archaeologists have discovered that ancient peoples had other ideas for the remains of their relatives, than burying them. ...

Bronze Age tradition of keeping human remains uncovered

An "inconceivably macabre" tradition of keeping human remains as relics during the Bronze Age has been discovered by researchers.
The discovery by University of Bristol archaeologists revealed how the dead were commemorated 4,500 years ago.
In one case, a human thigh bone found in a grave near Stonehenge had been crafted into a musical instrument.
The findings were made using radiocarbon dating and X-ray scanning techniques.
Dr Thomas Booth, from the university, said: "Even in modern secular societies, human remains are seen as particularly powerful objects, and this seems to hold true for people of the Bronze Age.
"However, they treated and interacted with the dead in ways which are inconceivably macabre to us today."

In the discovery made in Wilsford, near Stonehenge, the carved and polished artefact was found with other items, including stone and bronze axes, a bone plate and a tusk.
"Although fragments of human bone were included as grave goods with the dead, they were also kept in the homes of the living, buried under floors and even placed on display," said Professor Joanna Brück.
"This suggests that Bronze Age people did not view human remains with the sense of horror or disgust that we might feel today."
Researchers said the findings revealed human remains of those within living memory were regularly kept and circulated amongst the living.
The team also used micro-computed tomography at the Natural History Museum to look at microscopic changes to the bone produced by bacteria, to learn how the body was treated while it was decomposing.

Paranormal Q&A: How realistic are the mediums on television? What percent of mediums do you think are truly contacting spirits?

Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). Here's this week's question: 

Q: How realistic are the mediums on television? What percent of mediums do you think are truly contacting spirits?

Rob and Ruth Larkin, the Beantown Medium
A: I honestly don't watch a lot of mediums or ghost investigations on TV. Producers edit the programs to a fraction of the time filmed, in order to keep the viewer interested. - I've seen Lisa Williams in person (she was on TV for a short time) and she has a genuine gift. The Long Island Medium, Teresa Caputo also has a gift, but sometimes I think she asks for some information.  I'm unsure about the others on TV.
If you're looking for an accessible, and extremely gifted medium I recommend my friends Ruthie Larkin, the Beantown Medium (www.beantownmedium.com) or Barb Mallon (www.barbmallon.com).

Dogs and Cats give Us Signs from Spirit! Read Pets and the Afterlife to find them

Are you grieving after the loss of your dog or cat?  These books can help you work through your grief by showing you how their spirits are still very much around. 

The love we share with our pets never dies, and there's proof that our pets do communicate with us from the other side, just as people do who pass. I'm a scientist, medium, author and paranormal investigator who has had many experiences with ghosts and spirits, both pets and people, who have communicated messages that helped prove their identity. I've written Pets and the Afterlife and Pets and the Afterlife 2 to teach people how to recognize the signs from their pets in spirit. 

Pet parents like me think about and mourn the loss of their pets often. Sometimes the grief feels inconsolable. One way to work through that grief is to understand that our pets are around us in spirit from time to time and visit us. You just need to be able to recognize those signs. In my two books I explain many of the ways that pets communicate with the living, to convey their presence. 
   
I've received emails from people around the world who have confirmed signs from their pets and have received comfort knowing their pets are very much around in spirit from time to time. 

Both are available on Amazon.com in paperback and Kindle.: https://tinyurl.com/y8l6alq4

Haunted: Providence, Rhode Island's Biltmore Hotel

The Patriot Ledger newspaper in Quincy, Massachusetts runs a "Haunted New England" column, and I wanted to share this one about Providence, Rhode Island's Biltmore Hotel. It's reputed to be haunted, and even one man who was staying in a room watched his bathroom door slam shut (there was a wall behind the door) and he captured it on video (below). The Hotel has a giant neon sign on top that says “Biltmore.” Around 2019, the hotel purchased and it's name was changed to Graduate Providence... Here's the story and the video!

 Built in the early 1920’s, the hotel was financed by Johan Leisse Weisskopf, a man for whom it is impossible to find any other information except the facts that he was apparently 1. Very wealthy and 2. An open Satanist. Not passively Satanist, but open in the way that he allegedly wanted to use the hotel as a kind of recruiting device, creating hot springs in the basement and building chicken coops on the roof reportedly for a continuous supply of fresh sacrifices. Then, there were the Bacchante Girls, who worked in the Bacchante Dining Room serving as hostesses while wearing little to no clothing. In short, the opulent hotel was a testament to indulgence, and as such, attracted the kinds of characters that tend to gravitate toward such displays.

Quick - what do Satanists and the mob have in common? Turns out quite a bit and the two groups got along swimmingly when the hotel reportedly housed a speakeasy in the basement during Prohibition, bringing with them all sorts of unsavory activities. And while the animal sacrifice thing was definitely creepy, some believe that those sacrifices were actually helping to keep spirits off the property , and it was only after local authorities put a stop to them that the hotel started attracting ghosts like a white shirt attracts cat hair. In the first decade after it opened, it is reported that at least eight murders occurred in the hotel, some possibly committed by local law enforcement or local government officials. That is quite a lot of murder for only 10 years.

VIDEO: Ghost slams door at Biltmore Hotel in Providence: Jack Stevens said he stayed in room 1102 at the famously-haunted Biltmore Hotel in Providence, RI. He documented some freaky experiences
he had while staying in the room. Take a look. Has anyone else observed anything similar?
https://youtu.be/6v1GsAyEhDw

A few decades later, then-Providence Mayor Buddy Cianci helped save the hotel from demolition with historic landmark status, and a few decades after that, Cianci himself would call the hotel home while awaiting trial after his federal indictment. And a little less than a decade after that, the hotel’s new owners hung a portrait of Cianci in every room of the hotel, before very quickly deciding that was actually not a good idea.

Since then, the hotel has been named Rhode Island’s most haunted . Turns out the smallest state actually has some pretty stiff competition in that department, particularly with historic Newport. There’s plenty of reviews on TripAdvisor specifically mentioning haunted happenings, but if you prefer, you can also check out some Youtube videos of questionable quality that purportedly show some paranormal activity.

Video: A Look at the Unfinished Part of Thornbury Castle (from my Ghosts of England book adventure)

In my book  Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation  by Rob Gutro,

I stayed at Thornbury Castle and there were several ghosts there!  This is a look at the part of the castle that was never finished (although it looks like it's in ruins, it isn't because construction halted when the owner died) thanks to Henry VIII.

ABOUT THORNBURY CASTLE:  Thornbury Castle is a castle in Thornbury, South Gloucestershire, England. This is short video scan of the outside of the castle. Inside, there was a ghost in the room where I stayed, and there was a ghost in the main section of the upstairs hallway. You''ll find both of those stories in my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation" by Rob Gutro Construction began in 1511 as a home for Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham. It is not a true castle (designed to serve as a fortress), but rather an early example of a Tudor country house, with minimal defensive attributes. It is now a grade I listed building. The site was occupied by a manor house in 930. Part of the original plans for a very grand residence were "well advanced" before the duke was beheaded, in 1521, on the orders of his distant cousin Henry VIII, for alleged treason.

ABOUT "GHOSTS OF ENGLAND ON A MEDIUM'S VACATION by Rob Gutro: 

What happens when a medium goes on vacation? Can a medium simply switch off their ability at will? Well…not exactly. Rob Gutro is a medium/author/paranormal investigator and a scientist who has written 4 books about his encounters with human and animal ghosts and spirits.
    In this book, you will read about his experiences on two separate trips to the United Kingdom. England’s rich history and many epic battles have caused an over-abundance of residual emotional energy. Everywhere he traveled, he had a paranormal experience. He explored royal palaces and spent the night in haunted castles. He encountered the ghosts of historical figures including a queen, a prince, and a nobleman; and several ghosts even shared their pain of death experience with him. On one occasion, the doppelganger of a loved one provided directions when he became lost while driving in the countryside due to a malfunctioning GPS.
     But not all of his encounters were of the human variety: there was also a very special visit from a canine ghost. This book is intended to be more than just a collection of personal ghost stories. In addition to relating my ghostly encounters, he has also included a short narrative history of the places where the experiences occurred. After all, knowing the history of a place is key to understanding why a ghost has decided to stay behind.
    So, join Rob as he relates his encounters with the ghosts of England. Rob has written 4 other books about the paranormal, two about people (Ghosts and Spirits and Lessons Learned From Talking to the Dead) and 2 about pets (Pets and the Afterlife and Pets and the Afterlife 2). The books are available in paperback and e-book on Amazon.com.

Paranormal Q&A: How much truth is there to old myths from the pre-industrial era about spirits and medium work

Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). Here's this week's question: 

Q: How much truth is there to old myths from the pre-industrial era about spirits and medium work?

A: Since the dawn of time, ghosts and spirits have been trying to contact the living. Since I'm unsure what myths you're referring to (there are many) I'll just say that there have always been people who have the gift to sense them. In ancient times, and depending upon the location or the culture, those people were either revered as gifted or executed as sorcerers.

Cave paintings by indigenous Australians date back 28,000 years, some depicting skulls, bones, spirits and the afterlife. Other cave paintings in Indonesia date back a further 10,000 years!

Of course, today, we know that mediums are gifted and use their abilities to help others.

Read the "Double Murder Ghost Investigation" in the book "Case Files of Inspired Ghost Tracking"

A new book called "Case Files of Inspired Ghost Tracking," by best-selling paranormal author Rob Gutro takes readers on paranormal investigations into private and historic homes where ghosts were traumatizing families. Rob, a medium in the Inspired Ghost Tracking paranormal group, announced the release of his seventh paranormal book that brings readers along on investigations and reveals some bizarre and shocking things the group found and how they helped the ghosts and families.     
TO BUY ON AMAZON: https://tinyurl.com/yba6ofbj


"When earthbound ghosts have traumatized families in their own homes, Inspired Ghost Tracking (IGT) of Maryland has gone in to cross them over," Gutro said. "Every case is different, too. Some have had earthbound ghosts that were friendly, others were not. IGT experienced a lot of bad energies that caused people to become physically sick or mentally traumatized. IGT investigators had to figure who, what, when and why things were happening, to finally bring peace to the living and the dead."  

In this collection of IGT cases, you’ll read about the "Burned Ghost," ghosts of two different time periods in one home, dark things that Ouija boards brought into homes, a very haunted Maryland mansion, many ghosts of Baltimore’s Federal Hill, a ghostly attachment, a Steelworker’s ghost, poltergeist activity, the famous IGT “Double Murder Ghost Investigation” and many more.

You'll find answers to questions like why ghosts choose to stay in a place, the differences and similarities between ghosts and spirits, why energy is the key to the paranormal and much more.

Although Rob has become known as a "Pet Medium" through the success of his best-selling books "Pets and the Afterlife" and "Pets and the Afterlife 2," he also connects with human earthbound ghosts and spirits.

Gutro is the first in the paranormal field to make the distinction between earthbound ghosts and spirits who have crossed over. Rob has three books about his experience with human ghosts and spirits, called "Ghosts and Spirits," "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead," and "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation," and most recently, "Kindred Spirits: How a Medium Befriended a Spirit."   

Rob Gutro has been featured in the Washington Post and nationally syndicated radio programs like "Coast to Coast AM." Rob is a volunteer with Dachshund and Weimaraner rescues and gives fundraising lectures for animal rescues around the U.S., teaching grieving pet parents how pets communicate from the afterlife.

Paranormal Q&A: What is your view on exorcisms and the Christian view of spirits?

Each week, I'll answer a question about the paranormal, whether a general question, or one about human or animal ghosts (Earthbound) or spirits (crossed over). Here's this week's question: 

Q: What is your view on exorcisms and the Christian view of spirits?

A: First, I don't believe in "demons." I think that what we call demons are just life forms in spirit from other solar systems that made their way to Earth. Like wild animals that get defensive, other lifeforms that don't know us would get defensive and perhaps take over the body of a living person.

The concept of demons was conjured up to frighten people into behaving.  Exorcisms work on the principal of positive emotional energy, not religion. When a holy man, who are generally good of heart and has a lot of positive energy, tries to expel a ghost or spirit who is a bad person with a lot of negative energy, if the positive energy is strong enough, it will dispel or move the negative energy out (as a scientist, I believe it's all about energy).

Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead
Positive emotional energies are faith, hope and love. Negative emotional energies are fear, anger, depression, anxiety, hatred,. - It's because of positive emotional energy that prayer works (from any religion or non-religion)- It's the projection of faith-energy.  So, you need not be a priest or Christian to expel a bad ghost or spirit from someone  - and possessions are  rare.  

My book "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead" has a chapter on "demons."
