ASK THE EXPERT SPEAKERS
Pets and the Afterlife with Rob Gutro
Rob Gutro Author, paranormal investigator and medium with Inspired Ghost Tracking of Maryland.We are excited that Rob will be joining us again for our Eighth Annual Washington Metro DachtoberFest. Learn about how your pets are with you in the afterlife. Join WMDF on Saturday afternoon following the Costume Parade and Contest for a special presentation featuring Rob Gutro, medium, paranormal investigator and author of "Pets and the Afterlife: How Pets Communicate From the Other Side and More" and "Pets and the Afterlife 2: Signs from Pets That Have Passed." Rob will discuss how to cope with grief after losing a beloved pet and will share how to recognize signs from your pet's spirit. By the end of the talk, you'll be more aware of how pets can communicate in the afterlife.
Since he was a child he could receive messages from ghosts or spirits (who have crossed over). He has also written "Ghosts and Spirits," and "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead" to teach others how ghosts and Spirits communicate with the living and to give proof of the afterlife. As a scientist, he also provides some scientific explanations about how energy is the baseline for the afterlife and the medium that entities use to communicate.Rob is a parent to 2 Dachshunds, 1 Weimaraner and 1 Dachshund-Chihuahua mix.
