Pennhurst Paracon Blog #2: Speaking about Spirit Pets to Hundreds

 This is the second blog about my experiences at the Amazing Pennhurst Asylum Paracon in Spring City, PA in May 2026. This blog is about my experience speaking before hundreds of attendees. Asylum Paracon in Spring City, PA in May 2026. This blog is about my experience speaking before hundreds of attendees.

Last year, in 2025, I was given a microphone and told I had 25 minutes to address the hundreds of people sitting beneath the massive speaker tent, so I was able to tell my story about how I developed my abilities to connect with people and pets who passed, and share many ways they communicate.

This year, in 2026, there was a host who did a back and forth asking me questions. Although it did take the pressure off somewhat, I wasn't able to share as much, but it was equally as touching.

Also this year, there was an assistant bringing a microphone to people in the audience who had questions.

Someone did ask me the one question that makes me crazy. They said, "My preacher says animals don't have souls and we'll never see them after we die." I responded, "That's the dumbest, most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of, and people who cannot communicate with those who passed should never explain the afterlife." I explained, "Every living thing has a soul- it's energy with memories, personality and knowledge of this life we live, and all living energy, whether human, animal, or plant - goes to the same place: the other side/heaven/paradise/valhalla, etc." People applauded.

Many people told me afterward that they were brought to tears thinking about their own pets on the other side and acknowledging some of the same signs I spoke about.

To recognize the signs from your pets in spirit, read the "Pets and the Afterlife" series of books by Rob Gutro. Available in paperback, kindle or audiobook on Amazon.
