John Lennon was killed on December 8, 1980<\/p>\n
In Liverpool, the day of his death was already December 9<\/strong>\u2014the number he obsessively believed governed his life.<\/p>\n Chilling? Coincidence? \u201cLegend has it there are specific places in northwestern England where people can go to sell their soul to the devil\u00a0on Rose Lane, spanning the railway tracks leading to and from Mossley Hill station [in Liverpool, England, birthplace of the Beatles], has been associated with satanic soul exchanges.<\/p>\n \u201cAccording to the story, in December 1960, John Lennon, aged twenty, having heard the weird tales of the \u2018Devil\u2019s Bridge,\u2019 became obsessed with the idea of selling his soul to Beelzebub in return for fame and fortune. It was his desire to become a bigger music idol than Elvis Presley.<\/p>\n \u201cLennon sneaked out of his home at 251 Menlove Avenue, where he was living with his Aunt Mimi, and walked just over a mile through the December snow to the bridge of destiny, arriving there just before midnight.<\/p>\n There it was said he sold his soul for twenty years of fame.<\/p>\n We don\u2019t write this to condemn Lennon. What matters is the\u00a0lesson for our time<\/strong><\/p>\n He was killed at the Dakota apartments in Manhattan, where he lived and where a creepy, evil-limned movie,\u00a0Rosemary\u2019s Baby<\/em>, was filmed. IT WAS PRECISELY TWENTY YEARS AFTER THE ALLEGED PACT.<\/p>\n His assassin heard \u201cvoices\u201d directing him to kill Lennon, who himself was greatly interested (with wife Yoko, who would later call herself a witch) in the occult and psychics.<\/p>\n the story arises most sharply in a manuscript attributed to Fred Seaman<\/strong>, Lennon\u2019s close assistant in his final years.
