A clairvoyant has told how he predicted the whereabouts of a missing man several months before he was located.

Stuart Whibley was speaking after it emerged Matthew Green, who disappeared six years ago, had been found.

The 32-year-old was reunited with his parents Pauline and Jim at a hospital in Spain on Monday.

As we reported in November, former Islander Mr Whibley met Mr Green senior when the two of them were being treated in Medway hospital.

The 42-year-old said: “He was in the bed opposite me and what I did came up in a conversation. When he realised I was a psychic he asked for a reading.

“I can’t remember if Jim showed me a picture but I started to pick Matt up and had a strong feeling he was in Benidorm.

“It’s really strange but I saw everything from his perspective and the places he had been.

“It was at that point I knew the lad was still alive.” Matthew disappeared from his home in Rock Road, Sittingbourne, in April 2010, after saying he was on his way to London to see a friend.

It emerged last week the roofer was being treated in a psychiatric unit. However, it is not known at this stage whether this is in Benidorm itself.

His parents did not specify where he was exactly when they appeared in ITV’s This Morning yesterday.

Police here were contacted when Spanish social services checked Matthew’s name against a missing persons’ database.

Mr Whibley, who is the director of Sheppey-based Spirit of Life Paranormal, said he wasn’t surprised his prediction was accurate.

He said: “I knew the vision was genuine at the time because I started getting goosebumps during it.

“However, I was over the moon when my team told me he had been found – it’s always nice to hear you got things right.”

According to the psychic, he began getting premonitions at the age of seven when he successfully located his neighbour’s stolen car.

Since then, the former Sheppey Comp pupil claims to have solved a number of cases including the murder of a teenage boy in Spain and even found money for people.

He said: “I’ve had loads of correct predictions in the past and seen a lot of things people don’t tend to recognise as a vision.

“When I was 14 I was walking down Elm Lane in Minster and suddenly got this feeling to look in a bush next to me - there was a suitcase with £20,000 hidden in it.

“I took the case home and told my mum she knew a garage owner in Queenborough who had a similar amount stolen from the back of his Mercedes.”
