HOLLYWOOD, Tuscany — and Tavistock? Yes, West Devon is now the full-time home of a man who has travelled the world and earned the tag 'Psychic to the stars' along the way.
Roger St John Kent-Webster is a spiritualist — and a very successful one too. So successful, he built up a client list that read like a Hollywood Who's Who, though he is discretion itself when it comes to naming names.
He said his first real spiritual experience occurred on the night of his parents' death, when, while away from home, he saw his mother and father in his room. The following day he learned both parents had been killed in the blitz.
'Even at nine, this said something to me. After that, I used to keep quiet when I used to see people and things, because people used to call me crazy,' he said.
He was brought up by a succession of aunts and uncles — in fact, his first visit to Tavistock was with an aunt at the age of ten.
Married at 19, he started working life in the fashion industry but, following his marriage break-up, moved into the cabaret and entertainment world in England and abroad.
Roger started to use his 'gift' in earnest at about 30, when he attended a spiritualist church meeting in England.
But things really took off when he went to the States, where he found the Americans had a hunger for all things spiritual.
'I hit the headlines by finding a rather famous diamond ring that had been lost. From then, my phone never stopped ringing, I was on TV shows, it was unbelievable.
'I was asked to go to Hollywood and that's where I got this awful tag, which I hate, the "Psychic to the Stars"'.
During his years in America he worked for many famous people, and many more perfectly ordinary ones and, as he admits, made a lot of money.
'I sold my time, not my gift,' he stressed.
He refuses to read the future for close friends or family, as his own emotions could colour the reading.
'I have to be absolutely sure, you have to be extremely careful and that's where responsibility comes in.
'I will never tell people what to do. I give them an over-look as I see it.
'I may say if someone continues doing what they're doing, this will happen, and I'll tell them "It's up to you".'
To the sceptic, much of what Roger says could be dismissed as intelligent guesswork, laced with a healthy dose of coincidence — which he admits himself.
'Everybody should be sceptical of messages, unless they have validity,' he advises.
In other words, the seer should be able to tell his client something which he could not possibly know, but which would have a real meaning for that client.
To help him, Roger said he has had 'spirit guides' since he was in his early twenties.
'There was always this feeling that someone else was telling me what to do,' he said.
'I had different guides at different times, until about 12 years ago.'
He said he is now mainly guided by Tai Ling, a Mongolian who was savagely butchered in a remote principality during his last incarnation.
A picture of Tai Ling, drawn by Roger during hypnosis, adorns his study wall.
And he insists his guides have never given him bad advice — if things go wrong he does not blame them.
'I may not have been listening very well perhaps — on the whole, spirit guidance is only for the good. It's not always what you want to hear,' he said.
And language is not a problem either — spirits apparently, and somewhat conveniently, communicate in the language of the spiritualist, although Roger said he has been known to spout sentences in Russian, despite not being able to speak the language.
A believer in reincarnation, he claimed he has had 15 important previous lives that he knows of, verified historically as to dates and names. These were revealed when he was regressed as part of a 12-programme TV series in America.
'Of course, they couldn't prove it was actually me!' he smiled.
He puts his fear of being buried alive and terror of sharks down to previous incarnations and said no amount of therapy had been able to allay these phobias.
Roger believes a soul will continue to return to the world until its karmic journey is complete.
'You come back and try to right things,' he said.
Now retired, Roger has given up his house in America, although makes frequent return visits to the States to keep up his alien resident status.
'I also have a house in Tuscany, a section of an 11th century convent. It's so beautiful but it's eight miles from the nearest village and I can't live on my own any more because of my health.'
He said he spring-cleaned his house in Tavistock of ghosts when he made it his main base, although he said there are still some there.
'I've seen two people in Edwardian clothes, I've seen a child dressed in Victorian clothes, with an iron hoop, and an old man who was very grumpy, who looked like he came from the 1930s,' said Roger.
'Most ghosts are really existing in their own time and we have stepped into it. I expect we give them as big a fright as they give us!'
Roger 'truly believes' in God and goodness, but does not believe in hell. As far as he is concerned, mankind was given choice and wrong-doing is a result of that choice, not of the devil.
'I hope I have helped people — in fact, I know I have. You are giving people evidence of survival, you lighten their lives a little.'
