It has long been the intention and in fact the policy of this web site to report on all matters relating to the Krays.

So when I was approached by psychic Ian Lawman who claims he is in daily contact with Ron and Reg Kray I had no hesitation about relating his story.

With matters of this nature, it is very hard not to offend some people. Or their intelligenmce.

Life after death has never been proven. Or has it?...Some would disagree.

I would not dismiss life after death, out of hand. It would be nice to believe there is a 'hereafter'.

But can you imagine how it would change society if there was?

It would make life meaningless!...Anyway that's another story.

I must add that this is not an endorsement for Ian nor is it a confirmation or verification of any of the content of the following article that appeared in the Scunthorpe Telegraph.

As always with the web site it is up to the readers to make up their own minds.

I will be speaking personally with Ian next week and will keep the web site informed of any developments.

STILL 'GUVNORS' - BEYOND GRAVE?

An article fromThe Scunthorpe Telegraph- 06 March 2002

IMAGINE being told you are sitting next to Reggie Kray. I am in psychic Ian Lawman's living room in Burringham, and he is revealing secrets to me about crimes allegedly committed by the Kray twins.

Mention the Krays and the name will still strike fear into the heart of law abiding citizens everywhere. Made famous for their crimes in East London in the 'swinging sixties', the twins now rest in peace. But for one North Lincolnshire man, Ronnie and Reggie are very much part of everyday life despite them being dead and buried. Telegraph reporter Sarah Wells spoke to Ian Lawman, a nationally acclaimed psychic who claims he has been talking to the Krays for more than a year.

Secrets, he claims, he has been told by Ronnie and Reggie himself. I sit open-mouthed as the room goes cold, I'm not sure whether it's because of the conversation, but there's a distinct shiver down my spine.

Ian is explaining to me that Ronnie and Reggie visit him all the time - day or night.

I tentatively ask him there's anyone with us. Ian smiles; do I really want to know?

He tells me that Ronnie has been and gone, but Reggie is sitting on the chair next to me, watching me write.

I tell him to tell Reggie I'll do a good job!

Former model and professional dancer Ian (32) gave up his job to be a full-time psychic investigator, ghost hunter and clairvoyant. Ian said he first realised he had a gift when he had an imaginary friend, Charlie the Clown, at the age of four. According to Ian, Charlie was in fact a ghost.

Ian decided to work as a professional psychic eight years ago and claims that Ronnie and Reggie Kray have been meeting with him for more than a year.

Ian said: "Ronnie first visited me before Reggie died.

"I remember the exact moment, I was sitting downstairs in the living room watching television and the room went drastically cold. I felt very uneasy as it had happened before, and it usually means something quite evil is with me.

"Then Ronnie appeared straight in front of me, I don't see ghosts as apparitions, I see them solidly like I see ordinary people, Ronnie said that he needed me to get a message to Reggie for him before he died - he told me to tell him to be quiet.

"Then just before Reggie died, Ronnie said there was another body that people didn't know about.

" Ian said that after Reggie died, the twins began to visit him on a weekly basis and just stood and stared at him. Then one day he was sitting on his own downstairs and he felt the sofa depress next to him, as if someone had sat down.

Ian turned to look, and he claims that Reggie was sitting next to him. Ian said: "In a quiet slow voice Reggie said 'hello Ian'."

He explained how Ronnie and Reggie are now regular visitors and meet with him on a daily basis - day or night.

He said they have told him many stories about their lives, stories which Ian is currently trying to verify with Michael Gallagher, the man who is in charge of the Kray's website.

Ian said: "Michael campaigned for Reggie's release before he died and is also in charge of the Kray's website." "Obviously he has a lot of knowledge of the Krays and I have been talking to him about some of my experiences."

Ian admitted that he did not have a lot of interest in the Krays before they began visiting him and Michael's input has been very valuable as he doesn't know a lot about the twins.

Michael said: "I have been listening to what Ian has to say and I have an open mind about such things." As the visits increased, Ian's interest grew: "I watched a video about the Krays after they began visiting me and I recognised a lot of their mannerisms."

Ian said that the Krays mentioned that there were five more bodies yet to be discovered and they kept talking about someone known only as 'Ginge'.

He also claimed that Reggie said he wanted his wife to take care of his estate following his death.

Ian said: "It is difficult to talk to them as they both have strong accents, however, they do talk to me about stabbings and burying people alive.

"Reggie is always playing with his hair. Reggie also said that he stabbed someone in prison and they lived to tell the tale.

"They both laugh at people who call them names now as they say that they wouldn't have dared say it to their faces when they were alive."

Ian also claims that the Krays have asked for his help to 'finish off' George Cornell, a rival Ronnie shot dead in The Blind Beggar, a pub in London.

He said: "They talked about Cornell and asked me to finish him off.

"His ghost is still apparently haunting the pub Ronnie shot him in and they want me to get rid of him.

"I am in negotiations to do that."

Although Ian clearly enjoys his work, he said the pressure on him over the past two years has been tremendous. "It has affected my life and up until last week I was seriously considering jacking it all in.

The story of the Krays is a bizarre one and I wasn't sure whether I wanted to tell anyone about it." Ian described how Ronnie visited him while he was sleeping next to his wife Deborah.

"I was asleep and I felt someone tugging at my leg, I woke up and Ronnie was standing next to my bed, he said 'in your office now'. "I said I didn't want to speak to him and thought I was imagining things so I got up to go to the toilet. I walked into the bathroom and then suddenly the door slammed shut, it woke my wife up and I was so scared I wet myself.

"I ran back to bed and then an hour later I woke up on my office floor feeling like I had been hit."

Ian said he asked Ronnie and Reggie what they had done and they replied they had taken him there. News of Ian's experiences has spread and he is now planning to meet with some of the Kray's former associates in London next month.

Ian will be taking with him freelance bodyguard Pete Moses from Burringham.

Mr Moses said: "I used to be a doorman in Scunthorpe and now work as a freelance bodyguard.

"Ian has hired me to accompany him to London as obviously he doesn't know what he'll be walking into." Ronnie and Reggie Kray have long been legends for their crimes, some people agree with that status, some do not, Ian added: "The Krays have told me they enjoy their notoriety, they think it's great.

"They want people to know that they should still be feared."
