Scunthorpe psychic to be buried alive for a week to raise money for charity
A SCUNTHORPE psychic will be buried six feet underground for charity.
Ian Lawman, who is also an exorcist and TV star, says he wants to stretch his talents and get as close to death without actually dying.
Of the week-long burial he said: “I have had the idea of being buried alive for two years now.
“At first it was just a thought, but now my coffin has been made I am becoming a lot more nervous.”
As the date of the burial approaches, Mr Lawman is training to ensure everything goes to plan.
“I won’t have any food or drink for seven days, but I will be taking 12 food tablets equalling 2,000 calories a day.
“My training involves hours of meditation, lying still for long periods of time. The coffin is larger than your average size, but movement is still limited.”
A live webfeed will be streamed throughout the seven days, enabling Mr Lawman to share his experiences and feelings with his fans. Read full story from thisisscunthorpe.co.uk

Viking wolves return for first solar eclipse of 2011
Two beasts of Norse mythology are set to trouble the skies of northern Europe on Tuesday for the world’s first solar eclipse of 2011.
Ancient Viking legends recount that a giant wolf named Skoll chases the Moon, and its brother Hati pursues the Sun — and if either sinks their teeth into one and holds it back, an eclipse occurs.
For astronomers, though, eclipses are less superstitious affairs, occurring when the Moon swings between the Sun and Earth.

Tuesday’s event will be a partial eclipse. This occurs when a fraction of the Moon obscures the Sun, and to those in its shadow a “bite” seems to have been taken out of the solar face. Read full story from smh.com.au
