​I recently did a group reading at a business and the resident Spirit made his presence known. He was not attached, connected, or related to anybody in attendance. Does this mean the place is haunted? Not necessarily. Does this mean he has ill intentions for the people there? Not necessarily.

​My experience with Spirits that hang out in places, is they are usually attached to the people living there or they are attached to the space and enjoy being there. Notice, I used the word usually because there are exceptions to every rule. Are they stuck? Do they have unfinished business here on the Earth plane? I suppose it’s possible, but none of us will really know until we cross over to the other side.     
​                              
Is it our job to help them cross over or go to the light? I don’t believe so. A couple of years ago, I listened to a recording of a medium that was channeling a Spirit, and the question was asked, “Should we help them cross over and go to the light?” The answer from the Spirit being channeled was that Spirits aren’t wandering around over there lost, they are all accounted for. And who would be better to help a Spirit that is wandering, us or them? It made perfect sense to me. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I cannot help facilitate a conversation with a person and a Spirit that has unfinished business here on the earth plane.

Back to the Spirit at the group reading. Apparently, he was a bootlegger during prohibition. In the 1920s bootleggers were quite common here in Wisconsin. The most notorious was Al Capone, who owned establishments in Milwaukee and had a house on Cranberry Lake in Couderay. His Couderay cabin was fortified with a machine gun turret and was used to transport whiskey from Canada to Illinois. His brother, Ralph Capone was a long-term Wisconsin resident too. He ran several taverns in Mercer, Wisconsin. My point is, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to have a Spirit in Wisconsin indicate he was a bootlegger. But alas, it was not Al or Ralph at the group reading.
​
​The Spirit confirmed that he was a bootlegger when we went down to the basement and he indicated to me that he moved his product through tunnels. I didn’t see a tunnel, but he insisted that is how he moved the alcohol. Later, a person in attendance confirmed there was a tunnel behind a concrete wall and it ran down to the river. During prohibition, many tunnels like underground rivers were used across the country to transport alcohol.

​He was an older gentleman with a great sense of humor. He also gave me his name, Robert. As a medium, names are like gold nuggets, it doesn’t happen very often and we do an internal happy dance when it does. A gal in attendance said she had seen an old letter regarding the Spirit and she believed his name was indeed Robert. Or perhaps, the name I got was because the gals in attendance had named him “Bob.” Several of them had seen, felt, or heard him at various times while working. “Bob” indicated that he enjoyed the chitter-chatter in the office and occasionally moved things around on them because he thought it was funny.

I didn’t feel any ill intentions or “bad” energy from the guy. So, remember that all Spirit activity is not bad, maybe they are simply entertaining themselves or enjoying your company. I really enjoyed my communication with the bootlegger; he was a hoot! Perhaps he was drunk?​

​When I do animal communication sessions for living pets, they are usually much shorter than sessions for people. The reason for this is they are straight to the point. They aren’t concerned about finances, work, love life, or family. On the contrary, it’s all about “Me, Me, Me.” They are basically saying here are my problems, concerns, and issues, so now fix them!

I visited some horses the other day to help with an issue of one of them balking at going into the barn. While there, I also did sessions for several other horses. When I tried to connect with George, he didn’t give me much of anything. He didn’t have any issues or concerns. As a matter of fact, he never looked up and continued eating like I wasn’t even there. If George was a person, he would be the guy in the tie-dye t-shirt with a ponytail, sitting in the corner toking on some weed saying, “Hey dude, it’s all good! Pass me some Cheetos.”

The other thing about animal communication sessions that many people don’t realize is that they give me the information from their perspective. So, I did get quite a bit of information from Idaho, the horse having the problem going into a barn, not just one barn…any barn. But Idaho was giving me her perspective on what caused this and without the input from the owner, we may not have put the pieces together.

Idaho made references to “the left”, a figure eight, blue buckets, a loud noise, and a third party. As I was explaining this to the owner, she filled in the blanks. Idaho is a competition horse (which I did not know before the session) and the figure eight was an indication of that.  The blue buckets are used at the shows. The second barrel on the left is where the owner was thrown off and seriously injured. Idaho heard the scream and felt the anxiety and panic of the people there. And then a third party led her away to the barn.

The whole event was traumatizing for Idaho, and she associated the barn with the trauma. The anxiety gradually got worse and worse until it hit her like a brick wall when she walked up to any barn door. It makes sense that it continued to get worse because if we don’t deal with our own trauma and anxiety, it continues to get worse for us as well. Once we got to the bottom of what was actually causing her anxiety, we could move forward with ways to help her through it. Another horse, Mama, has incredibly calming and nurturing energy and she will play a key role in helping Idaho.

And then I moved on for a chat with Delbert. I instantly felt Delbert wanted to be the “Big Man on Campus” with his chest puffed out. "Wanted" is the keyword because on the inside Delbert has zero confidence. The owner confirmed that Delbert’s biggest problem is a lack of confidence. I very much felt that Delbert needs a great deal of praise for every accomplishment, no matter how minor it seemed. Because even though animals may not understand the words and sentences that we use, they understand the energy behind them. Lavish praise will make Delbert say to himself, “Oh…she thinks I’m good! I AM good (chest puffs out).…(strut).… I’m the bomb!”
​
​So, remember that your pets feel the energy behind your words, and just talk to them. I have to sign off now….I’m out of Cheetos.
