Paul McCartney is dead - CLUES
ujband
was talked about in great detail. Here are the clues that
Paul McCartney was dead.
On Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band:
1. McCartney sings "So let me introduce to you, the one and only
Billy Shears." The name announces the arrival of William
Campbell - not Billy Shears, but "Billy's Here."
2. On the cover, Paul alone faces the camera straight on. That's
because, the real Paul being dead, the surviving Beatles are
posed next to a lifesize cardboard cutout.
3. McCartney holds a black instrument - an English horn, not
found
in a marching band.
4. The Beatles stand before what appears to be a grace with
flowers
forming a left-handed bass, which Paul played. Some fans maintain
the flowers spell PAUL backward.
5. On the album gatefold, Paul wears a patch that says "OPD" -
for
Officially Pronounced Dead?
6. Above Paul's head is a hand - a death sign.
7. A doll in a Rolling Stones sweater holds a small, white Aston
Martin with a blood-red omterior. She sits on the lap of a ghastly
figure wearing bloody driving gloves.
8. At the top of the grave, a small figurine of a girl watches a
group
of yellow flowers that appear to be a flaming car going over a cliff.
Number 9, Number 9, Number 9. If you put the thin edge of a mirror
against the middle of the bass drum, letters appear that spell:
"He Die"; an arrow points to Paul.
10. On the back cover, Paul has his back to the camera.
11. He's taller than the other Beatles, as if ascending.
12. George Harrison points to the lyric, "Wednesday morning at 5
o'clock,
the time Paul was allegedy pronounced dead.
13. John Lennon sings in "A Day in the Life": "He blew his mind
out in
a car. He didn't notice that the lights had changed. A crowd of
people stood and stared." ( Amoung the gawkers on the new Free as
a Bird video is a 1967-era John Lennon.)
On Magical Mystery Tour:
14. In the fade-out of "Strawberry Fields Forever" John murmurs,
"I
buried Paul."
15. "I Am the Walrus," sang John. The song's little-noticed
subtitle
is "No, you're not, said Little Nicola." Meaning someone else
- Paul - was the Wlrus, said to be a death sign in Greece.
(Later in "Glass Onion," John sang, "Here's another clue for you
all. The Walrus was Paul."
16. Paul, in a drawing on the first fold-out page, has closed eyes
and
a red nose - because he was drunk at the time of the crash.
17. He's also the only Beatle with black flowers on his magician's
hat.
18. On Page 3 of the album booklet, Paul is seated beneath crossed
flags,
as at a military funeral. A recruitment sign in front of him says,
"I You Was," meaning, "I Was You."
19. On Page 4, Paul's hat is crushed, signifying a head injury.
20. On Page 5, the Beatles are pictured before a giant stone
building - Paul's tomb. The "Eggmen" behind them, dressed in white
smocks and caps, the surgeons who tried to save Mccartney.
21. Atop the tomb stand four British police officers, who directed
traffic at the crash site. (The new video show the same police
alignment.)
22. On Page 6, John stands by a sign that says, "The best way to
go
is by M&D Co. - a British funeral parlor.
23. On Page 8, is a photo of people dining at a cross-shaped
table.
When the photo is turned sideways, a large white skull appears on
the left side of the page.
24. On Page 9, McCartney is pictured as "The Fool on The Hill" -
with
a large crack in his head.
25. Page 21 shows a mystical portrait of an oranged-suited George
Harrison. In the pictures's upper right corner, two cars are about
to crash.
26. On Page 23, the Beatles are wearing white tuxedos with red
roses in
their lapes - except Paul, whose rose is black.
27. In the booklet gatfold, Paul's shoes are covered with red.
28. The circly, yellow writing on Ringo's bass drum says, "Love
the
3 Beatles."
29. On "I Am the Walrus," John sings "Goo Goo Goo Joob" -
supposedly
Humpty Dumpty's last words before he fell and smashed his head.
30. In the song's fade-out can be heard a recitation of the death
scene from King Lear.
31. William Campbell is pictured on Page 2, sitting behind Paul on
the
bus, on on Page 24, with his hand raised above Paul's head.
On Abbey Road:
32. On the cover, the Beatles are leaving what appears to be a
cemetery,
walking in a kind of funeral procession. John is dressed all in
white, a gleaming Christ figure. Georges's jeans outfit makes him
the grave-digger, while ringo is dressed as a preacher.
33. Paul is bearfoot, as British corpses are sometimes buried.
34. His eyes are closed, and he's the only Beatles who's out of
step.
35. McCartney holds his cigarette in his right hand. He is left
handed.
36. The license plate on the Volkswagen parked on the street
reads,
"28IF," meaning Paul would be 28 if he were alive.
37. On the back of the album, there is a crack through the "S" in
the
stone letters that spell "Beatles." McCartney - James Paul McCartney
is the only Beatle with an S in his first name.
38. The dots before the word "Beatles" are easily connected to
form
a 3, menaing "3 Beatles."
39 A small skull emerges at the end of "Beatles" when the album
is
held sideways.
40. On "Come Togethe," John sings, "One and one and one is three."
On the White Album:
41. When John's gibberish between "I'm So Tired" and "Blackbird"
is played backward, he ways, "Paul is dead and I miss him miss
him."
42. On "Don't Pass Me By," Ringo sings, "You were in a car crash,
and
you lost your hair." a reference to McCartney's head injury.
43. "Revolution No. 9," contains the sounds of a car wreck, flames
and
screams.
44. Played backward, the announcer's bass intonation of "No. 9,
No. 9, No. 9," becomes "Turn me on, dead man."
45. At the end of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," George can be
heard
moaning, "Oh Paul, oh Paul."
46. In "Glass Onion," John sings about "trying to make a dovetail
joint" - used to fasten coffin corners.
47. On the collage poster included with the album, a picture shows
skeletal hands reaching for Paul.
48. The poster also shows William Campbell, with a mustach, eye
glasses and short hair, before he allegedly had the surgery that
transformed him into the ultimate fifth Beatle.
49. Another photo shows McCartney half submerged in a tub of
water.
His eyes are closed and there's a dark substance around his mouth
and nose. Ghoulish clue-hunters suggest this is Paul's corpse
being washed and readied for burial.
50. In close-up phots of the Beatles accompanying the album, Paul
has
several days' frowth of beard. Why would the prettiest Beatle,
the cute one, pose for a unflattering a photo? The theory
wsa that hair continued to grow on his corpse.
51. The same photo shows a small deformity on Paul's upper lip -
an
imprefection left by Campbell's plastic surgery.
On Let It Be:
52. Paul is the only Beatle pictured against a blood-red
background on
the cover.
53. "I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me,"
sings
Paul, presumably newly dead and in heaven.

Actually, the message is not backward. If you read it normally from left to right,
you can see where the flowers spell out the characters "paUL?"

The badge says, "O.P.P." which stands for Ontario Provincial Police. I heard
that William Campbell was Canadian.
