Man to be buried alive

A British man is volunteering to be buried alive in the grounds of a haunted castle.

Psychic Ian Lawman will live in a purpose built coffin-type box for seven days, buried six feet under at the grounds of Dudley Castle in England.

He will have two pipes running to the surface of the two tonnes of soil that will be on top of him so he can breathe, and a glass panel tunneled to the surface will enable visitors to come and give him moral support.

There will even by a Skype link so he can chat to his fans from all over the world.

The event will take place on April 1 and aims to raise money for the Bluelamp Foundation.
