In an intriguing blend of the paranormal and LGBTQ narratives, medium and author Rob Gutro has teamed up with paranormal investigator and drag queen Monique Toosoon to explore ghostly encounters in their latest book, 'Haunting Emery Estate.' This collaboration not only sheds light on the supernatural but also highlights the unique perspectives and experiences within the LGBTQ community. Their work has resonated widely, earning best-seller status and topping Amazon categories related to ghosts and hauntings.

'Haunting Emery Estate' documents a chilling five-hour investigation at the Emery Estate in Massachusetts, where Gutro and Toosoon connected with three ghosts. Two of these spirits' identities were confirmed, while one exhibited a frightening ability to affect mirrors. Gutro, who also sketched two of the ghosts he saw, shared, 'They conveyed their personalities and stories, and one double-crossed us.' This investigation underscores the duo's commitment to uncovering the reasons behind these spirits' earthbound states.

Monique Toosoon, known as New England's paranormal drag queen, brings a unique energy to these investigations. 'I tend to call myself 'The best trigger object you can bring investigating,' because locations always tell me that the energy is completely different and much more elevated when I am around,' Toosoon explained. Her approach to drag during investigations, especially during COVID, has added a new dimension to paranormal research.

Gutro's other book, 'Kindred Spirits: When a Medium Befriends a Spirit,' delves into a personal story of a spirit's involvement in his relationship with his husband. The book, described as 'A Spirit Love Triangle,' reveals how Gutro's husband's late partner, Ed, has communicated from beyond, offering signs and messages to his loved ones. This narrative not only explores the paranormal but also the enduring connections that transcend physical existence.

The success of these books among LGBTQ readers and beyond highlights the growing interest in stories that combine paranormal phenomena with diverse human experiences. For more information on Rob Gutro's work, visit https://robgutro.com.

As Gutro and Toosoon prepare for their next book, 'Haunting of Hunt Memorial Library,' set for release in January 2026, their work continues to bridge the gap between the supernatural and the human, offering fresh perspectives on both. Their achievements in the paranormal field, coupled with their commitment to LGBTQ visibility, make their contributions both significant and timely.
