Pauls Dead, No Wait He's Not, No Wait ...

At a news conference in 1969 Paul McCartney announced that the rumors of his death had been "greatly exaggerated," but had they been? Joel Gilbert of Highway 61 Productions has another theory. On July 5th of 2005 Highway 61, a company that specializes in Bob Dylan documentaries, received a set disks recorded by the late George Harrison. On the disks Harrison claims that Paul McCartney did in fact die in a traffic accident on November 9th of 1966.

As the story goes Paul and John Lennon had a disagreement causing McCartney to storm from the studio. While driving along in a tither he picked up a female hitchhiker. As the two proceeded on their way the girl recognized Paul and threw herself on him in a dazzle of hugs and kisses, causing him to crash the car. Paul died.

Later the remaining Beatles were contacted by MI5 and asked to come to the scene of the crash. MI5, acting on the idea that Paul's death would lead to wide spread suicide among British youth, hatched the plan to replace McCartney with known look-alike William Campbell.

The young ladies identity was also changed and she was ushered into a life of mystery in order to protect the secret of Paul's death. Many years later the woman, now called Heather Mills, contacted William Campbell, AKA Paul McCartney, threatening to go public with the story unless he married her, so he did. Read all about it
