He died of natural causes last night at 1am Jan. 27th 2012.

Irisheyes and I had the honor of meeting Caral Lawson at Bobby Mackey's on March 11th 2011. I got to hear his story of a battle with demons that will forever be in our memory. Godspeed Caral you will be missed and NEVER forgotten.
Rest in Peace

I'm so sorry to hear that, he sounded like a truly good soul. I've never met him personally, but I do feel that I have come to know him through your eyes and your stories. He will be missed.

RIP and safe travels to the other side

for those unfamiliar with Carl Lawson:

The most celebrated case of possession at Bobby Mackey's is Carl Lawson, who lived upstairs above the nightclub as a caretaker for the club. Lawson, one of the main subjects of Hensley's book (Author Douglas Hensley wrote a popular book on the subject – Hell's Gate: Terror at Bobby Mackey's Music World.), claims to have been attacked by several of the resident spirits and actually possessed by some of them as well, including Alonzo Walling. A supposedly successful exorcism of Lawson and the entire building took place at Bobby Mackey's on August 8, 1991. It was performed by the Reverend Glenn Coe and witnessed by Hensley, who also recorded it all on videotape.

So sorry to hear of your friend passing away. My sincerest condolences to you Demented Warlock.

He was a good man! very friendly and kind!
