Born on January 12, 1945, young Arthur became aware of voices that others could not hear. In early childhood, Arthur lived with his grandmother in La Linea, southern Spain.
She took him with her on visits to a clairvoyant, who told Arthur he would move to England, which greatly upset him at the time.
The prediction came true when he was nine and the family moved to London. Later, Arthur regularly visited South Kensington’s College of Psychic Studies and the London Spiritual Mission.
