    The family of ex-gangster Dave Courtney have called in ghost hunters after spooky goings on at his home.<\/p>\n

    The notorious hardman-turned-author, 64, was found dead at his house in Plumstead, South West London, on October 22. Dave, who was suffering from prostrate cancer and arthritis, died from a gunshot wound to the head after a day at the football with mates.<\/p>\n

    But according to pals, his family were left baffled after a psychic rang the house a few days after the former crime kingpin\u2019s death. A source said: \u201cA medium called the landline and said they had received a message from Dave from 'the other side'.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThey said Dave left personal notes for his all his family hidden in his books, as well as 'Whiskey for Brendon'." <\/p>\n

    Dave lived with his best pal and lodger Brendon McGirr at his \u00a3650,000 house, dubbed Camelot Castle due to its extravagant d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n

    The house was decorated with Union Jack flags, a bust of the gangster, swords, fake guns and a jacuzzi. The source added: \u201cEveryone was sceptical but they searched the bookshelves at his home.<\/p>\n

    \u201cIncredibly the third book contained a letter from Dave addressed to his ex-wife. When they were tidying up, they noticed Dave\u2019s shotgun by his armchair was inscripted with the word 'Whiskey'.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    \u201cIt\u2019s given them all a bit of a jolt so they called in ghost hunters to look into it.\u201d<\/p>\n

    According to pals Dave, whose life is being turned into a movie with Tom Hardy in talks as the lead, was a big believer in the supernatural and the afterlife.<\/p>\n

    The source added: \u201cIf he did come back it wouldn\u2019t surprise any of his mates. It would be such a comfort to everyone if he was contacting them from the other side. \u201c<\/p>\n
