Paul is very much alive, but it's still neat to look back and see all the clues that supposedly proved the theory that Paul had died.

An American Beatle fan had been spending a lot of time listening to his Beatle albums and searching the covers and booklets. He was looking for support for his theory that Paul McCartney had been killed in a car crash in 1966 and had been replaced by a lookalike, William Campbell, who had once won a McCartney lookalike contest. This man called up a disc jockey at a Detriot radio station, Russ Gibbs, and told him his theory. He said that Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, and The White Album were the way the Beatles were communicating Paul's death to the fans who were clever enough to figure out the clues. Gibbs passed on the news of Paul's "death" and soon the story was out everywhere. People began searching for clues on all the albums back to 1966. They found many clues to support the theory and when Abbey Road came out, even more clues were gathered. Paul McCartney really was in a car accident on November 9, 1966, but it was minor and he wasn't hurt. But there were a lot of clues in the albums and when put together, it created a convincing argument.
