10 Creepiest Paranormal Events In Rock Music
2. Paul is Dead?
For many rock musicians, The Beatles are where the real force of rock music really begins. Though there may have been trailblazers like Little Richard and Elvis Presley before, once these Liverpudlian moptops graced the stage on the Ed Sullivan show, the world was treated to one of the most infectious rock groups they would ever see. Most of the magic comes down to the individual members, but many have suspected that the Fab Four had actually been Three for many years.
In one of the biggest musical conspiracy theories ever, fans have been speculating that Paul McCartney died in a car crash in 1966 after a heated recording session with the lads. This just a typical old ghost story in the world of rock, but there's actually more than a few coincidences that make these stories add up. Starting with Sgt. Pepper's, it is alleged that the band started planting clues to Paul's demise, from George Harrison apparently pointing to the time of death on the back cover to misconstruing Paul's OPD patch as an acronym for "Officially Pronounced Dead."
Even when The Beatles stopped recording, people have taken a deep dive into their back catalog for clues, whether it's the mock funeral procession on Abbey Road or the fact that this imposter Paul had a slightly different eye color after 1966. Paul McCartney is still among the living today, but even if he had perished in a car crash, his replacement has been making some of the greatest pop music the world has ever known.
