Top Ten "Paul is Dead" Clues (The Theory that the Real Paul McCartney Died in a Car Accident in 1966)

I have this at number 1 because this is the one that really makes me raise an eyebrow. Almost everything else can be hoaxed by the band. There are old photos and video of the "original" Paul playing right-handed.

This is actually really interesting. I never gave it a thought until now. You raise some good valid points.
This really is a good list.

Doesn't he still play left handed today, though?

Personally, I think most (not all) of these are a stretch. There are so many examples, these are just a few popular ones.

Sgt. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band Album -
Lovely Rita - the line "standing by a parking meter/when I caught a glimpse of Rita" referring to Paul's accident.

Good Morning, Good Morning - the lines "nothing to do to save his life", "you're on your own/you're in the street", "people running 'round/it's five o'clock (the supposed time of the accident)", and "watching the skirts you start to flirt, now you're in gear" are all said to be references to Paul's accident.

With a Little Help From my Friends - The intro announces, "Billy Spears" is a play of words for "Billy's here". The introduction of the man who replaced Paul, William.

The Magical Mystery Tour Album -

I am the Walrus - at the end of the song, there are voices of men saying, "bury me...bury my body" and "Paul you're darn near death...rest you."

Hello Goodbye - Some think the line, "you say goodbye, I say hello" is referring to the "new" or fake Paul addressing the "original" Paul

All You Need is Love - People think when John sings the word "yesterday" he's purposely making it sound like he's saying "yes he's dead" then the chanting of "we love you yeah, yeah, yeah" comes in. Notice yeah is said 3 times? Supposedly it's each of the three remaining original band members sending "dead" Paul their love.

Strawberry Fields Forever - At the end of the track when the music fades back in John is said to be saying, "I buried Paul".

Abbey Road Album -

Come together - "he got early warning" is suppose to reference Paul's reoccurring dream about his death. "one and one and one is three" like 3 Beatles. "he's got to be good looking cause... more

The album cover is suppose to represent a funeral scene.

All the people on the album cover are suppose to be all the people Paul looked up to or admired. There is also a photo of the "early" Beatles who look like they're in mourning. Some theorize they're not just mourning Paul's death but also the end or death of the original band itself.

The headstone is the stone statue to the right of the drum.

The floral display in the front is in the form of a left handed bass guitar and spells out Paul or "P". Above its spells "LiES".

On the right of the "headstone" is a woman looking at a car that's on fire. The woman is suppose to be "Lovely Rita the Meter Maid". She supposedly saw and was the cause of Paul's accident.

If you hold the album cover to a mirror, focus on the drum and split the drum in half (hold a small mirror or use the back of a cd, hold it to the middle or half way on the words LONELY HEARTS on the drum) it reads, "1 ONE 1 X HE DIE" with an arrow pointing at Paul. 1 ONE 1 is suppose to represent the three living members, HE DIE is referring to Paul.

The number 5 is next to the word Beatles hinting at their are five Beatles members. (John, George, Ringo, Paul and "fake" Paul)

Paul is seen with a hand over his head. (Said to be an Eastern tradition of blessing the dead.)

The four armed doll on the bottom is holding a bouquet of flowers and one arm is pointing at Paul.

Paul is holding a small hook symbolizes the reaper's scythe.

(Record version) The inside sleeve looks like it was soaked in blood.

(Record version) On the back of the album George is pointing at a line that reads, "Wednesday morning at five o clock". The day and time of Paul's accident.

(Record version) On the back cover, Paul is facing the opposite direction of the other members. This is suppose to symbolize he is not "one of them".

(Record version) A photo inside shows Paul wearing a patch on his left... more

The album cover is suppose to represent a funeral procession. John is dressed like a preacher. Ringo represents the pallbearer. Paul is the corpse. George is suppose to symbolize the grave digger.

Paul's eyes are closed symbolizing he's dead.

In the background there's a Volkswagen Beatles with a license plate that reads "28IF". Rumored to symbolize or state that "if" Paul was still alive, he would've been "28" years old when Abbey Road was released.

Paul is walking out of step with the other members. All the other members are leading with their left foot, Paul with his right. Supposedly representing the same thing as when is facing away from the rest of the band on the other covers. He is not one of them.

Paul is walking with a cigarette in his right hand. (Rumor has it the "real Paul" was left handed.) Also cigarettes were/are known to be called coffin nails.

There are eight circles next to the "Beatles" sign. When the circles are connected, it makes the number 3. This is suppose to represent that there are only three original Beatles members.

That same Beatles sign has a crack running through the "S". People think it represents a fracture of the band (Paul's death).

In keeping up with the funeral theme, the record sleeve us black.

The stars that spell out Beatles, when viewed upside down, reveals a phone number. (Some say it's 5371438, other say it's 2317438 ) The number 2317438 is reported to be a mortuary in London. Some have even claimed they got a recorded message of a voice saying, "You're getting closer".

In the movie (also in a photo in a booklet that came with the record version) Paul is sitting at a desk with a sticker that reads, "I WAS"

On page 12 in the booklet mentioned above, Paul's shoes are to the left of him and covered in blood. There are tire tracks leading right up to Paul. In the same picture, the kick drum reads, "LOVE The 3 Beatles".

In the booklet there's a picture of Paul wearing a black carnation while the rest of the band is wearing a red one.

Numerous photos of a hand over Paul's head in the booklet

Again Paul has a hand over his head symbolizing an Eastern tradition for blessing the dead.

The Yellow Submarine is beneath the band members. This is suppose to represent Paul's coffin underground.

On the top is a picture of Paul screaming with no teeth showing. (Rumor has it that most of Paul's teeth were knocked out and was decapitated in the accident.)

Again Paul is facing the opposite direction.

Look it up. Either way I find this kinda disturbing. The story is John never really accepted "Faul" and was mean to him.

The other members started calling Paul "Faul". As in "fake Paul".
I don't know what to think of this. Maybe it's a accent thing and people who are ignorant to the language (like me) are jumping to conclusions? Maybe Britgirl can give her two cents about this and straighten this out for us? If it isn't an accent thing and they are blatantly saying "Faul" instead of Paul, that leaves only two options in my opinion -
1: This all was an elaborate hoax either started by The Beatles themselves or, at least they enjoyed throwing fuel on the fire for fun, or publicity. Or...
2: Paul's really dead.
