In responding about Tavistock on another thread, I came across this link from several years back: <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20031215080117/digilander.libero.it/p_truth/" target="top">Paul is dead</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br>Here's some. There are pictures, too.<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Sunday 11th September 1966, Evening <br><br> and Paul were returning from their trip in good spirits. <br>It had been a wonderful time. <br>After John's notorious phrase which had instigated the storm in the world against the Beatles and the turmoil over the "butcher album" cover, everything seemed to have returned back to a normal routine. <br><br>And Paul had had a sudden burst of extraordinary creativity over a very short period of time, perhaps as a reaction to all that had happened. <br><br>It had been a typically seasonal rainy day. <br>At a semaphore stop a van suddenly cut across the street, blocking the car and Paul were in. <br>The car didn't quite stop in time and hit the van, but not seriously enough to do any real damage. <br>They expected to discuss what had happened with the occupants of the other vehicle but instead men dressed in black appeared from the van and grabbed , Paul and one of the girls who happened to be with them at the time and forced them into another car that had turned up in the meantime. <br>The second girl who was with them, however, had the presence of mind to run away. <br><br>The morning afterwards, not knowing what had happened, we tried to call and Paul but strangely we couldn't get hold of them. <br>We retraced their steps through our common friends but nobody had seen or heard from them. <br>We were on the telephone all day. <br><br>And then the next day the police phoned to tell us that they had a girl with them confirming that and Paul had been kidnapped. <br>Ringo was the first one to arrive where the kidnapping had taken place; the vehicles were empty. <br>The girl told us what had happened. <br>We began to panic. <br>John became hysterical and we didn't know what to think or what to do. <br>But we were able to suppress the story from the Wednesday newspapers thanks to some acquaintances of ours. <br>We had directly contacted the intelligence service who understood the gravity of the situation and the social ramifications if word got out. <br>They told us that they would take care of everything. <br>All we had to do was to continue our daily routine and keep all our previously appointed business engagements.<br>We waited for the kidnappers to contact us, a ransom demand of some sort. <br>Time passed and nothing happened. <br>As more days passed, our apprehension grew. <br><br>It was the Tuesday of the following week when we received the call, but not the one we had been waiting for. <br>We were called out in order to identify Paul's body. <br>At the time John was in Paris and George was in India. They immediately returned home.<br>Paul was found at the foot of a hill, a little distance from a white Volkswagen.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>I was a fervent "Paul-is-dead" believer back in the day... --MaryK<br><br> <p></p><i></i>
