Gavin Cromwell
| SEPIA Presents |
| Gavin Cromwell was born in 1981 amid the spectacular landscapes and colorful history of South Wales in the U.K. It was the perfect setting for a remarkable psychic medium, and -- from earliest childhood -- Gavin communicated with ghosts and spirits "on the other side." Many families might think that Gavin's tales were merely childhood prattle. However, at age four, Gavin told his family a story that was vivid, accurate and far beyond anything a toddler could have learned on his own. During a routine Sunday stroll around Tredegar House in Newport, South Wales, Gavin began waving at a window that -- to everyone else -- appeared empty. However, Gavin insisted that he saw a man waving at him. Gavin described the man in precise historical detail. From that point on, Gavin's family knew that he wasn't just an average little boy. Years later, a Tredegar House historian confirmed the detailed description. The figure had been Lord Tredegar, John Morgan, who died in 1720. Until Gavin talked about that long-dead Lord Tredegar, he'd been treated as an obscure figure in the house's history, and rarely mentioned, even when people toured the house. But, this wasn't Gavin Cromwell's only childhood display of psychic talents. In Gavin's October 2008 book, "My Life as a Psychic", readers can see some of the startling drawings he created from around age six. He drew to show his family what he perceived in historic and haunted places. Even today, those illustrations are astonishing, and include historic details far beyond average childhood knowledge or interest. Gavin's family did their best to raise him as a normal child, despite his obvious talents that increased rapidly as he grew up. Gradually -- and especially when he attended St. Julian's Comprehensive School -- Gavin learned not to be so open about his psychic insights and premonitions. However, he quietly continued to practice his skills. During those years, Gavin often worked with his spirit guide, Arthur John Morgan (1840 - aft. 1881), who'd lived at Tredegar House. After completing school, Gavin attempted to live a relatively normal life. He attended computer classes, worked as a personal shopper, a printer, a cocktail waiter, and at a series of other jobs. Almost invariably, Gavin was drawn to businesses in haunted buildings where he further honed his psychic skills. At Easter in 2001, Gavin's full-time career as a psychic began with a flourish. Returning to Tredegar House, Gavin provided the staff with a full "ghost tour" including rich historic details that even they didn't know, but historians later confirmed after considerable research. Since then, Gavin's reputation and popularity have grown by leaps and bounds throughout the U.K. From readings for celebrities such as Phil Collinson (producer/director for the TV series, "Dr. Who") and work with ghost-related TV shows such as "Most Haunted Live, Jack the Ripper Special" Gavin became well-known for his abilities to see both the past and the future. Gavin may not yet have the name-recognition of his famous 17th-century ancestor, Oliver Cromwell. However, Gavin Cromwell is already well-known and respected in England and throughout the U.K. He is now the “Absolute Psychic” on Absolute Radio with Allan Lake, one of the UK’s largest radio stations and #1 late night show, with over 5 million listeners. Gavin has also released his 2009 predictions for UK’s top magazine OK! Now, Gavin is bringing his talents and psychic messages to the U.S., to the delight of his American fans and admirers, and perhaps to this country's ghosts as well. |
