That was quite an interesting read. I saw it earlier but waited till I arrived home to read it. It’s a lot of stuff that I’ve already seen, but there were a couple of clues that I forgot about, like the eyes.

Hello Everybody,

Im very new to this Forum,and thought I would join,as I feel very strongly,about the Paul Mccartney replacement theory.

Ive been studying the Paul Mccartney old Cavern Photos,to video’s,Interviews etc,since last year 2016,and Iv’e been blown away by some of the Photo’s I have come across,of a Man that goes by the name of John Halliday.

The Facial Features are a match,and so is his History,and so I have created a Video,of which I have just recently uploaded to Youtube.

Obviously I don’t expect People to have the same views,but all I can say right now,is that I wish I had been one of those lucky People,who had visited the Childhood home of Paul Mccartney,when John Halliday was Custodian.

I believe John is still in the Liverpool area,but is a Man that is deteriorating quickly,since being sacked from the National Trust in 2010.

I will try an upload the video if I can

Clithtina.

Hi Clithtina. I moved your post into this Paul Is Dead thread, because that’s where “replacement theories” belong.

I met John in 2010 on a National Trust tour. He did look a lot like Paul, but IIRC he was quite a bit shorter. He even made jokes about his resemblance to Paul. There’s really nothing more to it though.

John Halliday doesn’t even look that much like Paul. I mean….. The differences are obvious and plentiful. His eyes are blue, for one (Paul’s are hazel), but you needn’t look far to see that no way, no how is it the same person….

Wow, Paul couldn’t have died back in the 1960s because some scammer needed him to off himself last week.

Facebook have admitted they were tricked by a “malicious advertiser” into carrying a fake news post that Sir Paul McCartney had committed suicide .

The shocking post appeared on Facebook feeds across the world claiming that the former Beatle had taken his own life.

Shocked social media users who clicked on the post were taken to a phishing page which claimed their computer was infected and gave a freephone number to call.

Great going, Facebook.

A similar celeb dead myth this time concerning Avril Lavigne.

In the thread, they allege that the singer took her own life in late 2003 after her grandfather’s death.

The theory says because her supposed “death” occurred at the peak of her career, Ms Lavigne’s record company hired a lookalike known as Melissa Vandella to impersonate her. Vandella was reportedly recruited beforehand to pose as the Canadian singer for paparazzi, the theory continues.

This death hoax has surfaced several times in the last few years. Ms Lavigne was also the victim of another rumour, which said that she’d been killed in a snowboarding accident.

Those who support the theory on Twitter back their claim with inconsistencies over the years in the appearance of the star’s skin, jawline, eye corners and fashion style as well as handwriting. Others cite a promo picture of the singer with the word Melissa written on her hand.

What’s next, a theory that Freddie Mercury committed suicide in 1980 and was replaced by someone who wore a moustache, the differences are very clear, just look at Freddie and Fakie side by side both clean shaven and with facial hair.

This one is particularly absurd – clearly an Avril Lavigne suicide would have improved her record sales. The record company probably should have considered having her killed and staging it like a suicide…

Not sure what you’re linking to, @Paul mccartney is the man, since all I’m getting is something I think says the page can’t be found:

@Ron Nasty They’re linking (or trying to) to TKIN (The King Is Naked), a very poorly thought out PID site made by SunKing. Some of those comps, many of which include manipulated photos, have been used for the Italian Wired article which was debunked here:

Hmm Interesting  

As pointed out. It’s a crap PID site that uses manips and etc. It’s not to be taken seriously. 

While PID is one of my favorite urban legends, it’s SO not true.
