To the staff of Denver’s Historic Oxford Hotel – I can’t thank you enough!

The past couple of weeks has just been a blast! I was hired to lead “ghost tours” and turned them into “tour/investigations” during which people on the tour could use equipment used during investigations of hauntings. Everyone had fun, but I’m sure I had the most fun! LOL

Best of all, for me, I was given a tour of the attic! I was shown a space in which I had to crouch in order not to hit my head. While we were in there I called out, “Hello!” something I often do during an investigation. Not two seconds later, we both heard what sounded like a heavy boot stomping above our heads. “What’s above us?” I asked.

My host shrugged his shoulders and said, “I don’t really know. The roof I think.”

“Did you hear that?”

“Yeah.”

I called out “hello” again, and again, heard what sounded like stomping from above us in response.

I was shown some of the areas in the attic where the energy was “heaviest.” Could it be some of the relics from the hotel’s past that contains the energy? I really don’t know, but I’d love to do some more investigating to find out!

If you live in Denver, or are visiting, while there aren’t any more tours planned, you really should make plans to spend a night or two here. It’s a beautiful hotel, with great staff, and a spa next door. Be sure to ask for room 320, because it may be the most “active” room in the hotel.

Who knows? You might even see or sense one of the resident ghosts. A number of the people on my tours did!

To the staff of Denver’s historic Oxford Hotel, thank you.

“Why would God do that?”

I received an e-mail from one of Natalie’s sisters in which she told me, “I am still having a hard time trying to figure out why the big man upstairs would take a mother and daughter (emphasis mine).“

The truth is God didn’t take them. It was simply their time to leave us and go back home. It helps to think of this life as school. When we learn (hopefully) our lessons we “graduate.”

In real life, do people “graduate” having not learned as much as others in the same school? Absolutely. There are those who learn very little at all. Same thing happens in life.

I’m not suggesting that this was the case with Natalie, and her daughter, Carrie. To me, the lesson we’re supposed to learn while we’re here has to do with love. Love for ourselves, and love for others. I believe that even Mother Teresa had lessons to learn when she “graduated.” I’ve been told that what we don’t learn here, we’ll have to learn on the Other Side; but it’s much more difficult there.

My point is that God doesn’t take our loved ones away. He is not the angel of death. She doesn’t sit around wondering who’s life she can ruin by taking away the life of someone they love. At least, not the God I love.

I feel your peace,

Anthony
