Rocker Pete Townshend once chatted to a dead pal who had reincarnated “as a deer”.
The Who frontman, 79, rescued the stuck animal from a barbed wire garden fence near his London home.
He claims it suddenly came back to life and revealed itself to be his band’s guitar technician Alan Rogan, who died from cancer in July 2019.

Pete told the Rockonteurs podcast: “We have a lot of deer around our house. And there was a dead deer, a baby deer, a dead being caught up in some barbed wire. And I pulled over my car and I went over to it and I started to help it, but it was dead.
“So I was just gonna pull the deer out and then take it to be buried or whatever. And just as I got it down, it came to life and ran away.”
He later told his partner Rachel: “I’ve just had a conversation with Alan Rogan.”
The rocker has since left the Richmond Hill home where the weird encounter happened. But it is not the first time he or Rachel have channelled their spiritual side.
Pete added: “I’ve seen Rachel have conversations with a horse, she’s psychic, and I have certain psychic abilities. Several people that I’ve put curses on have had the most terrible things happen to them, to the point where I’ve actually had to stop doing it.”
The musician says he’s used to people mocking his paranormal abilities.
He said: “I think it’s very easy indeed to be a non-believer, to be an atheist. “I think it’s really, really easy. You just take the piss out of everybody that believes in anything, and just say, well, I’m ready to turn to dust.
“And what’s harder is to actually try to rationalise something, which you instinctively feel.”
The Who paid tribute to Rogan who also worked with music legends including Eric Clapton, Keith Richards and George Harrison.
A statement on the band’s website said: “Although always working on the support team side, he was as big a star as anyone he worked with.”
