I had an interesting example of possible clairaudient precognition a couple of weeks back when I received a message from the late great Ringo Starr,
Now, I just know that some of you are going to nit-pick here, and say
"But Ringo isn't dead!" - and technically you'd be right - so allow me to take you on a magical mystery tour. The scenario was this; three friends and myself went to stay for a weekend at Holdsworth House, a Jacobean manor built in 1633 which is now a hotel. Upon our arrival the two males amongst us were unpacking the luggage from the car while the girls stood behind helpfully supervising operations. As I leant into the car to get the last bag my male friend sang
"Back off boogaloo" and I turned round saying
"God, I haven't heard that in years!" He looked at me blankly,
"You haven't heard what in years?" came his reply.
"What you just sang - Back off boogaloo" I said. It was at this point that I became aware that I was getting some rather odd looks,
"Nobody sang anything" one of the girls ventured, and there then followed one of those
"But you must have heard it!" exchanges which resulted in the conclusion that nobody else had heard anything. The car park, although packed full of cars, was devoid of any other living souls, and a cursory examination of the cars around us revealed that there was certainly no car radio playing anywhere. Since my friends were now becoming slightly irritated by my behaviour, I decided to forget it and we entered the hotel to book into our rooms. Whilst the girls were engaged in complex discussions about feather pillows with the receptionist, my friend and I drifted off to look at the large notice-board which contained a potted history of the hotel's highlights. The large centre-piece featured shots of the filming of the BBC series
'Last Tango In Halifax' at the hotel the previous year, and I was perusing an article from the 1950s when the place was last owned as a private residence, when my friend suddenly burst out laughing, said
"Oh wow - Ringo!" and pointed at the following piece on the wall,
It turned out the Fab Four had stayed at Holdsworth House in 1964, and you can read about it here;
http://holdsworthhouse.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/john-and-ringo-slept-in-my-bedin-1964.html What is especially interesting is that the house wasn't even a hotel back then, it was a country club with no bedrooms, which to me made it even more remarkable that I should have heard a Ringo Starr song just before entering the building where he'd stayed fifty years earlier. Anyway, in the hustle and bustle of un-packing and then having dinner the whole thing was forgotten until after coffee, when one of the girls piped up with
"Interesting that you heard a Ringo song, because he's the only one that's definitely still alive". What she was referring to here is the
'Paul Is Dead' conspiracy theory, which means that the mortal status of James Paul McCartney is subject to debate - and since we know that John and George are definitely no longer with us, then Ringo is indeed
"...the only one that's definitely still alive".
However, after a little more discussion, I suddenly remembered that there was another dead rock star to factor into the equation, and I blurted out
"Marc Bolan wrote the song!" After a little googling, it turned out that my memory was slightly defective. Ringo has always said that Bolan was the inspiration for the song, particularly his catch-phrase
'Boogaloo!' but that he wrote the song with a little help from his friend George Harrison. So there you have it - almost. One final point worth mentioning is that the astrologer/tarot reader/palmist employed by Marc Bolan's wife June was none other than Richard Gardner,

Here then in all it's glory is the
'Boogaloo' video, and I've added a link to the original intro which has Marc and Ringo fluffing their lines in a field (only Ringo's
'Goodbye!' made it into the final promotional film - the term
'music video' hadn't been invented then.) Worth noting that some people believe that Frankenstein appears as an Osiris resonator, because they're both re-assembled/resurrected men.
