Happy Birthday to Ed's Spirit - Subject of my book: "Kindred Spirits: When a Medium Befriends a Spirit"

Today marks the birthday of Ed G, the special spirit I befriended who has been around me for over 15 years. 

  I never knew Ed in life, but have come to know him so well in spirit through his many messages and appearances in various ways (including sending a look-alike to rescue Tom and me when we got lost in a forested area in England on vacation). He also helped solve the mystery around his own passing. Ed and his amazing afterlife communications are the topics of my best-selling book "Kindred Spirits: When a Medium Befriends a Spirit."     Today would have been his 61st birthday. 

   Last month he helped me out on vacation in Greece and sent me a signature coin (He loves sending coins to show me he's around. He calls them "Jingle" and you can read about that in Kindred Spirits. 

     He visited again this week, too, which is no surprise since spirits visit around their birthdays. It's also the same week as my birthday (we were born 2 days and 2 years apart), so he's been around to wish me a happy birthday, too. Both that sign and the Greece vacation appearances will be in the upcoming book: "Kindred Spirits 2" which I continue to write! 

    Since I published his story in 2019, he's let me know that he's proud of it and excited. His communications are an example to all, teaching everyone how all spirits can communicate. Ed has proven that spirits are very, very much alive and with us long after their physical selves are gone. 

   Check out my book at amazon.com and get to know Ed! After all, it's his birthday! It's a nice way to wish him a happy birthday and give yourself a gift of understanding of how the spirits of your loved ones communicate.

Dog Spirits Can make you smell wet fur - Read Pets and the Afterlife by Rob Gutro

A year after your dog or cat passed, do you suddenly find yourself smelling wet fur and there's no other animal in the house? If your dog liked swimming in a pond and would smell of wet fur, that's him paying a visit (Cats would be likely be from baths!) That's not uncommon. It's just another way that pets can communicate they are still around in spirit.  You can read about more signs in Rob Gutro's books  Pets and the Afterlife 1, 2 or 3.

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 1,2 and 3 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.

In-Person Events, Interviews & Podcasts- Rob Gutro FALL SEASON 2021

I have many in-person events and on-line interviews and podcasts over the fall season, so Get in the Spirit and check them out!  It's a good way to celebrate Halloween and learn the truth about ghosts and spirits (and why Cemeteries aren't really haunted). 

 This is THE Season for Ghosts and Spirits, and I have 4 books (Amazon Bestsellers, thankfully) about my encounters with GHOSTS (and 1 about a special spirit and 3 about pets and the afterlife), written to TEACH  YOU what signs to look for from your loved ones who crossed over, and also earthbound ghosts. My books are all founded in the science of energy and as a scientist myself, it was easier to make sense of how entities use energy to communicate. My books take you on Paranormal Investigations and on a trip to a very Haunted England as well as answering ALL of your paranormal questions.

Supernatural sites in the UK - Belgrave Hall

The UK Daily Star Online provided a look at some haunted locations around Britain. I also had the pleasure of visiting England and you can read about my encounters with the ghosts there in my book "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation," available on Amazon.  Here's today's haunt:  

Belgrave Hall

Built in 1709, the quaint home was once famous for the wealthy businessmen who called the property home for hundreds of years. However, in recent years, Belgrave Hall has gained a reputation in 1998 when an apparent ghost was caught on camera outside the old home. The white figure gained so much attention that a whole news episode was dedicated to the apparent sighting on February 2 the following year. But ghost hunters think they might have worked out the origins of the spooky figure and concluded it’s much closer to the realm of nature than to the paranormal world. 

 Haunted Britain Investigations commented on a clip of the sighting, adding: “It turns out sycamore pods from a nearby tree are what was caught. “The cam is on a time-lapse of a few seconds and it looks like a figure appears, then vanishes.”
*************************************************
You can read about MY encounters with some of England's ghosts in my book "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.

More Proof Animals have the Same Emotions as People (as explained in Pets and the Afterlife 1, 2 and 3)

As I have written in my three Pets and the Afterlife books, animals have the same emotions as humans. They feel love, concern, care, anger, fear, and jealousy. But love is their greatest gift to humanity. Here's a story about a Canadian Goose who was injured and his mate insisted on joining him after a recovery. To better understand the scientific proof of any animal's behaviors, intelligence and behaviors, please read my books "Pets and the Afterlife" vol. 1, 2 or 3 by Rob Gutro (available on Amazon). As a scientist, I cite those studies in the book to help you understand how your pets can communicate from the afterlife. Now, here's the amazing story of Arnold and his mate.

 Goose Taps On Animal Hospital’s Door, Comes To Comfort Injured Mate 

By Ashley McCann 

https://blog.theanimalrescuesite.greatergood.com/geese-in-love/

Arnold the Canada goose is well-known around the New England Wildlife Centers in Massachusetts. He lives on a pond near their facility and has been with his mate for years.

When staff noticed Arnold was limping and falling over, they brought him in for an exam and learned that he had two open fractures on his foot. While they don’t know for sure how this happened, they believe a Snapping turtle or other predator attacked him while he was swimming.

They knew if they wanted to save his foot, they would have to perform surgery and a partial amputation. They put Arnold on pain medications and antibiotics and prepped him for surgery, but they never expected what happened next.

Before his surgery, staff heard a tapping at the clinic door. When they went to look at what it was, they were pleasantly surprised to find Arnold’s mate trying to get into the clinic. Unbeknownst to them, the mate somehow located Arnold and was demanding to see him. She stayed at the doorway during the whole surgery, never leaving Arnold’s sight!

Thankfully, Arnold’s surgery was a success and his foot will heal in time. Once he woke up from anesthesia, they brought Arnold to the door so he could see his mate, whom staff named Amelia. They opened the door, and Amelia began grooming him. A calming presence came over both of them once they were reunited.

Arnold had to remain under their care while his foot healed so they could continue to change his bandages and keep a close eye on him. Amelia continued to visit the door daily, and staff would bring Arnold near her so they could see each other. They even set up a temporary pen so the two love birds could share a meal together!

PHOTO: FACEBOOK/NEW ENGLAND WILDLIFE CENTERS 

Once Arnold was healthy enough, he was returned to the wild. Amelia was right there waiting for him, and they took off together for a swim in the pond.

“We are not sure what they will do next, but we are so happy that they have the opportunity to do it together,” the center wrote on Facebook. “Arnold’s foot has healed well and today we got to see him both fly and swim. We are confident that he will have no trouble keeping up with his partner Amelia.”

Learn about the Haunted Old Yellow House and More in "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. 
   Learn about the Old Yellow House, a haunted childhood home of IGT founder Margaret Erhlich, and how the ghosts inspired her to form the paranormal team many years later that brought the team into many strange situations. 
   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.

"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.

Supernatural sites in the UK Avebury Stone Circle

Avebury Stone Circle

Home to Europe’s largest stone circle, the site at Avebury, Wiltshire, dates back between 4,000BC to 2,400BC. Believed to be an ancient religious site where our ancestors worships numerous gods of nature, the – the ancient stones were unknown for centuries until they were rediscovered in 1938. The stones had been buried in pits – perhaps in a bid to banish the ancient idols – in the 14th century. But when archaeologists made the discovery they found a skull buried under one of the stones, perhaps as part of a tragic accident. Today there have been sightings of strange ghostly figures and the sound of singing despite no humans being seen.

What is an Animal Communicator? How is that Different from a Pet Medium?

I receive many emails asking if I can communicate with living pets to determine why they are behaving badly or not eating. I don't have that ability. That's what an animal communicator does. I'm a pet medium, which means I can communicate with pets whom passed and are in spirit. Here's a great article about an animal communicator from England, that will give you an idea how they work.

(Image: Animal communicator Katy Sainty says animals share words as well as pictures, which she then ‘translates’ (Image: Katy Sainty)) 

Berkshire's Dr Doolittle knows what your pet is really thinking - and she doesn't need to see them in the flesh 

 By Jacqueline Steele 09:05, 1 AUG 2021

"The food is dull,” my two-year-old cocker spaniel told me through pet translator Katy Sainty, a research nurse from a village just outside of Hungerford, in West Berkshire.

“Forget the biscuits. I'd like something more meaty,” she added.

I must admit that at first, I felt a bit silly sat on my living room floor having an online conversation with animal communicator Katy – as she connected with my dog Tia's energy, almost like a form of telepathy. I was glad my husband had gone out or he might have thought I'd lost the plot. Before our consultation, 39-year-old Katy simply asked for a photograph of my chocolate brown pooch. During our session she didn't need to see Tia or me face-to-face; we chatted in audio-only to keep distractions to a minimum.

Katy was part of the team that organised the trial stage of developing the Oxford AstraZeneca Covid vaccine and began studying animal communication six years ago.

It was her science background that made me incredibly intrigued by her claims that she is able to communicate with animals.

She admits to me that she's come across a fair amount of scepticism about her skills, even from her equine vet husband who didn't know what to think when she started studying the art of animal communication a few years ago. But it was when she came home from work one day and asked him why he’d allowed their dogs to have cheesecake for lunch, that he couldn't quite believe what he was hearing.There was no way his wife could have known that he’d allowed their pets to lick the bowl after a neighbour had gifted him a special dessert while she was at work, after all, the cake was all gone by the time she got home and feeding sweet treats to the animals wasn’t something they routinely did. But, it turns out that their 17-year-old terrier Cash was to blame for revealing the secret.

She had enjoyed the cake so much that she excitedly "told" Katy as soon as she stepped through the door. "I could see the cogs turning in my husband’s head," said Katy. "He’s an equine vet and has always been very sceptical of my animal communication skills, as many people are."Although he still thinks I’m nuts, this occurrence did make him wonder if there’s actually something in it."

Katy began our consultation with a verification question – she likes to ask the animal a factual question which helps create trust between her and her clients and also confirms that she has developed the connection.

“Tia's showing me a brown chair that she likes to sleep on. She says she used to sleep in a dark place but likes this more because it's near the window.”

Now she had my attention. All of this is true. When we first brought Tia home she used to like sleeping in a crate in a dark corner of the room, but now prefers a comfy brown chair next to a window looking into the back garden.

Katy continued: “She feels very loved. She almost feels like she's another one of the children. She has loads of energy. She never wants to sit still. She says she wants you to play with her but you're often working on your computer.”

Katy also describes an incident in which a “big white dog, maybe a Golden Retriever” took a dislike to Tia and wouldn't leave her alone. Since that day she's been a bit wary around other dogs.

Now I'm a natural sceptic, but the factual detail, in particular describing the colour and breed of animal that scared Tia was quite astonishing.

The method adopted by most communicators involves going into a meditative state and having a two-way conversation — this can be done face-to-face with an animal or simply by using a photograph.

Katy explains animals share words as well as pictures, which she then "translates" for her human clients.

Katy stresses that she is not a psychic, although some communicators do describe themselves in this way.

She says it’s like tuning into a radio station: “You just have to find the right frequency,” she explains, adding that we are all born with the ability to communicate with animals, but most of us don’t nurture the skill and so we lose it.

There is no centralised animal communication body in the UK, or indeed the world, to estimate the number of people operating professionally, but a quick Google search reveals pages upon pages of people offering these services to the UK’s growing number of pet owners.

Some owners get in touch with a communicator when a beloved animal has died.

Aimee Wallis, the founder and manager of the Corvid Dawn wild bird rescue centre in West Berkshire, reached out to Katy when one of her favourite crows, Bocelli, died recently because she felt guilty that he had died in the aviary without her.

From a photograph, Katy was able to connect with Bocelli’s soul, sensed that he had been blind, and described him as "an ambassador".

Bocelli reassured Aimee that she had nothing to feel guilty about and that he loved her and had had a wonderful life.

Aimee says: “Bocelli and I had a really incredible bond, he slept on my nightstand and came everywhere with me.

"Katy said during the communication that he liked parties. And he did. When it was one of my nieces’ or nephews’ birthday parties he would come along and be really sociable. And I always introduced him as the ambassador for crows.

“For Katy to come out with something like that, I mean, there was no way she could have known. It made me laugh and it blew my mind. I felt emotional and like he was right there with me.

"I think if anyone wants to know their animal, really, truly and deeply, you should have this experience."
