Yes, she was. I enjoyed her book a lot.
It revealed no "scandals" but seemed to be presented as the man he "really was." having to live with every day.

are you guys referring to "Inside Graceland" book? I tried getting it off ebay but they were out - so am still searching.

You should try Amazon - I got mine off there; also a fasinating read about the couple that got inside Graceland, while all the staff was there and was just walking around in Elvis' room and checking his things out ..amazing.

But I think the plastic surgeries that Priscilla has had has quite a lot to do with Elvis, as he wanted her to be perfect; even if her toenails weren't accurately painted he would comment, it haunted her in other relationships

yea I'd like to know who - because it sure created a frenzy over him being alive. I made comment in another thread that it could have been Johnny Harra (or however you spell his name).....did they ever figure out exactly who that would have been? I'd love to know.

The only two names I've heard that might be was : One of Elvis' cousins, who was a bit young at the time .
And, Al Strada. I read that Al said it wasn't him. Other than that I haven't a clue.

Harra didn't do that documentary until later .

You believe this was actually taken after Elvis' death? It would be so easy to use an old rare pic of Elvis in his house and pretend it was taken after his death...

He didn't tamper with the film, there was an actual person sitting in there but it was someone that used to be around Elvis before he died...maybe one of the staff, I wish I could remember the guy's name...sorry.

I can?t recall right now what it was I read Diane but I think was something along the line that the reflection on the glass in the photo didn?t match with what was actualy in front of the door in that time... so the picture could have been possibly a fake.
I could have read it in "Elvis decoded" but I would have to check it out.

There's very little I believe about many things concerning Elvis.

And, yes...supposedly the photo was authenticated.

It was on TV and in a book...;)

Patrick said a lot of things in Elvis Decoded.
One hinting that Elvis' will was forged .
I don't believe much of what he says either .

Well,I still dont know what to make of my story.
Whilst me and my daughter who was 16 at the time were visiting Graceland for the first time,It was incidently in july 2004.the 50th anniversary of "thats alright".we stopped outside Graceland each evening and just looked at the mansion from the wall, it was just getting dusk this particular evening,and we had been there for some 15/20 mins.when all of a sudden my daughter screamed..I asked her what was wrong,and she was as white as a ghost....I just saw ELVIS she said...naturally i just laughed and said something funny.i cant remember exactly what I said,"Dad ...I really did " she said again."where I said" thinking I would humour her for a while...."Up there in that front room".
she said, pointing to ELVIS.s bedroom...I must add..that at this point she didnt know which room was ELVIS.s.I asked her what she thinks she saw,as it is quite a way from the walls to the windows and would be dificult to see clearly...although ,the upstairs lights were on...
"Dad I saw someone ,,who looked like Elvis",and "Im telling you he was looking out of that window"she said...ok I said in total disbelief... I passed it off that it may of been a security officer or something..and I said no more about what she says she had just seen.
the following evening we were there again..and sure enough,although it was an hour or two later.the same thing happened....BUT this time I had never taken my eyes off of the window,the whole time we were there....and I never saw anything...She swears what she saw was true,,and I cant explain how I was looking at exactly the same place at the same time and never saw anything...she has never mentioned it again,untill i just played her the clip on this post subbmitted by Pauline...and all she said was "I TOLD YOU I SAW HIM"...I dont know how to explain what she seen,and would be interested to hear if anyone else has had the same or similar experience

On the Bill Bixby special about Elvis maybe being alive, there was a photo taken in the 80s of boxer Ali coming out of a hotel with a group of people -one person behind Ali looked like Elvis. It ended up it was an associate of Ali's who was shaded in the picture just right. In the picture you would swear it was Elvis but when you saw this guy with better light he really did not look much like Elvis at all.

Thank you for sharing about that picture of Ali with someone who looked like Elvis KPM. I'm wondering if maybe I'm confusing what I read about that one with this one in the bath house.

This is the guy in the Ali picture . I saw that Bill Bixby special too.
Didn't pay much attention to all that until I retired and tried to run it all down. Larry Kolb. He was on Bixby's show and I got interested enough to read his book. It was very good, actually. He was very friendly when I contacted him. Was writing another book.

In regards to the bloke that took the photo that allegedally shows Elvis, that if he indeed is alive it's funny that no more photos would have been taken off him accidentally - and has there ever been any confirmation of any senior member of Kodak saying that this letter is true, don't we just have the guys word for it that it is true?

Couldn't it just have been a cut-out cardboard of Elvis? Many thousand copies of tabloids are sold if they have a some sort of "Elvis is alive" article in it, so couldn't it just have been a shrewed way of sparkling people's interest and trying to keep the brand alive?

And about Malc's story -- a light on in Elvis' bedroom at night?? Surely that can't have been any staff, that must have been Lisa. Wasn't all his windows in his bedroom with a tin foil; have they taken that down?

However the story by Billy Smith in the Memphis Mafia book (by three of the Mafia's members) is quite bizzare and somehow bugs me - the one about Elvis going to switch indentities; either a joke on Elvis' behalf of a serious suggestion that never came to fruition

The thing was that in the mid 70's, EVERYONE had hair and sideburns like that, so seeing someone with that style wouldn't make me thing Elvis either...

(darn, but true)

I had heard on a different thread that there used to be a tour guide at Graceland that said that when he would help open up the house in the mornings before the tour, there were always records out in the TV room downstairs (even though the house had been secured the night before) and it looked as though someone had been playing them. would have been cool if he'd posted what the albums were that "whoever or whatever was listening to at night...:blink:

As far as I know no one's ever figured it out.
But, stranger things have happened I guess.

Think why everyone jumped on that ;it would have been odd for Vernon to want anyone around that resembled him of his son that soon.
As far as I know Vernon said he lived in his house {not Graceland} with his girlfriend Sandy.

Do you believe in Ghost? There are lot people who swore they have such an eerie encounters with their departed love ones and It is pretty hard to make a conclusion on this matter. We must admit that there are some phenomenon that even modern science can't explain. If the Elvis apparition is true or not will depend on your belief in the existence of Ghost and will of course be a subject of more debate for the unbelievers

I do believe in our spirits/souls ; whatever one wants to call the subject..;)

Without going into some wild crazy stories or offending anyones religious convictions; yes, I think it's possible for our loved ones to communicate with us after they're gone. There are many unexplained phenomona in our world .
I just accept the possibility and go on. :)

IMO John Edwards is the biggest con man on the planet.It's all fake.He is good at what he does however.Good at "fishing" for info and then stringing the people along.I believe his act was exposed on 20/20 or some other news program.
I believe Elvis' ghost has been picked up hitchhiking on hwy 51 several times over the years.

We would be pretty arrogant to think we "know it all." ;)
I have watched John Edwards in the past, yes.
I'm not sure if he's "for real" or not. I let everyone decide for themselves .
It appears the ones that he's given messages to believe him.
Perhaps if he talked to me, I might too.

Yes, it was in the book "Elvis decoded" byPatrick Lacy.
The author wrote that the iron fence from the pool couldn?t get reflected on the door glass from the angle the photo was taken and because the door was closed, plus the fence is too low and the door is on a higher level to show that refletion to the top of the door.
I tried to check it for myself but I couldn?t find any pool house picture along with the pool and the fence so I can?t know for sure if Patrick Lacy is right.
If he is that Kodak certificate has no credibility at all.

I don't think he's fake -sorry jak if you do. If 20/20 "exposed" him...why is he still on? he has a new show and he also does readings for celebrities....am not going to get into a punching match with anyone over this....I accept your opinions....please accept mine....

Graceland is haunted and there is little doubt to the question. Harold Loyd said that he would see a light out in the yard and when he would go investigate, the light would disappear and on more than one occasion, he heard Gladys voice around the grounds. It's also believed that spirits are drawn to important places or objects that they were attached too in life. Graceland was a very important place to Elvis and it is filled with important artifacts from his entire life. It's also beleived that spirits are somehow tied to an area where something traumatic or life altering has occurred and in the case of Graceland, Elvis experienced a little of everything while living there including his untimely death. Too many people close to Elvis and Graceland have experienced strange things happening there that cannot be explained as anything other than supernatural. On top of all this we have to remember that Graceland also holds a cemetery where Elvis' remains and those of his family are at and if you add all this up is there really much to doubt about it unless you just don't believe in the spirit world?

I have to agree with you on this....plus i was told by another member on here? I can't remember...how they were at his grave at night and the moon was shining and a beam of light directly onto his grave and like shooting star type stuff was coming down......it scared the crap out of her....and the guard who was with her said, "here we go again....."

Laugh if you want.....but it scared her.....

The man who took that photo is/was a man named Mike Joseph. The photo was taken in December of 1977... December 31, 1977 if I'm not mistaken
.


Am I correct in assuming that the Meditation Gardens were opened to the fans for the first time in November of 1977??

In the UK we have a show called Dead Famous where a physic and a non believer visit locations associated with dead movie stars/singers etc.On the show on Elvis they visited Sun Studios,a large disused brewery in Memphis(what this had to do with Elvis i don't know but apparently well known as a haunted site)and the gates of Graceland.Nothing was really found and the show was a bit of a disappointment but two things i did find of interest 1,The physic Chris ?? stated he felt a evil presence around the gate area of Graceland not someone who wanted to hurt Elvis but loved Elvis and secondly Elvis' spirit was grounded to earth because there was too much love from the fans and this was preventing him from passing over.I found this sad,the only other piece of interest was a EVP(electronic voice phenomena)which recorded the spoken word "sniper" outside the gates.I find the subject of the paranormal very interesting but as part of my job i attend intruder alarm activations out of hours and have had to go into empty buildings in the early hours with reputation of being haunted and apart from one instance i have never seen/heard anything spooky.Oh well:hmm:

In the UK we have a show called Dead Famous where a physic and a non believer visit locations associated with dead movie stars/singers etc.On the show on Elvis they visited Sun Studios,a large disused brewery in Memphis(what this had to do with Elvis i don't know but apparently well known as a haunted site)and the gates of Graceland.Nothing was really found and the show was a bit of a disappointment but two things i did find of interest 1,The physic Chris ?? stated he felt a evil presence around the gate area of Graceland not someone who wanted to hurt Elvis but loved Elvis and secondly Elvis' spirit was grounded to earth because there was too much love from the fans and this was preventing him from passing over.I found this sad,the only other piece of interest was a EVP(electronic voice phenomena)which recorded the spoken word "sniper" outside the gates.I find the subject of the paranormal very interesting but as part of my job i attend intruder alarm activations out of hours and have had to go into empty buildings in the early hours with reputation of being haunted and apart from one instance i have never seen/heard anything spooky.Oh well:hmm:

very interesting indeed....thanks for sharing......I would like to believe his spirit is still with us.....and you are right - us fans don't want to let him go....I guess that is sad though.

Missy - even Billy Smith has stated that when he came back to Graceland after Elvis death it shook him up because he'd walk across the front yard and instinctively look up at Elvis' window and could swear he saw him.....also he'd hear loud whispers: "Hey Billy!" and it spooked him......as strong of a presence that Elvis had alive....I can totally believe he has even stronger one dead.....his aura was so strong.

I seen my Dad just after he died...and my Brother saw exactly the same Image as I did.
My Dad had a moustashe...I never seen him like that before.when I told my brother that Dad was sitting on my bed last night ...HE said "did he have a moustashe...." we both saw the same image.although we were miles apart...spooky !!!
I think there are several things that cant be explained....Did Elvis see his mother sub conciencesly...because he missed her so much...

You know, things like this happen when we miss someone too much and want him/her here with us...I think it's imaginary thing.
3 years ago my granddad has passed away and we were really close and one night I saw him from outside the window in my room. I knew it couldn't be and looked away, when I looked back, he wasn't there.

Maybe you won't link my story with the stories about Elvis, but it's just my opinion on stuff like this.

I read somewhere that Elvis seen his mother a couple of times when he was alive, so if that's possible than why couldn't we see Elvis from time to time. Some fans that been to graceland get a eerie feeling that someone is watching them too.I remember seeing this in a film(can't remember which one may have been Elvis with Kurt Russell)Where Elvis and a few MM guys a sitting at the dinner table and they heard a voice calling out "Elvis"in the manner of Gladys the MM guys drew their pistols and checked the house as they thought it may have been a intruder,after no one was found it was thought it was Gladys.Don't know if this was based on fact or just fiction

yes it's all very strange.....I'm not saying he is alive...there are certainly a number of people around who look like him.....and back in the 70's the long hair and sideburns was the thing....so I don't know.

Now, don't ask me where I read this , can't remember .;)
This whole thing was debated somewhere ..
IF you look at the picture, some said it was NOT a reflection, but a part of the fence that hadn't been put up yet. BEHIND the person that was sitting there . Otherwise, if it was a reflection; it would be in front of the person.

IMO John Edwards is the biggest con man on the planet.It's all fake.He is good at what he does however.Good at "fishing" for info and then stringing the people along.I believe his act was exposed on 20/20 or some other news program.

Yes, he's brilliant at what he does, ir dupe millions of people into believing his crap. His technique is "cold reading" - a technique based on high-probability guesses.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_reading

Edwards has been exposed several times, yet gullible people still tend to follow him and others.

Obviously, any photo that purports to be of Elvis after August 16th, 1977 is a fake, and anyone who perpetuates this crap is a fraudster.

There are no such things as ghosts, spirits or anything like that. Every occurrence has a logical explanation, although some may take longer to discover than others.

Ghosts? Bah. File such things right next to Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Loch Ness Monster!

this is making for great reading. Thanks for all the posts!

I kinda wish Elvis were "haunting" Graceland, walking around in his bathrobe and slippers at home while tourists trape through (would be kinda fun to run into something/or him there sometime). :D

I don't know if anyone watches the show Ghost Hunters, but it's pretty good too. I'm not sure how I feel about ghosts, for real. I mean, I love ghost stories, but if I heard bumps in the night, I'm sure I would not assume its a ghost, but rather the heater kicking on, etc...

On the other hand, there are many things we can't explain in this world.
Not only is this universe stranger than we imagine, but it's probably stranger than we CAN imagine.

I do believe in life after death and I suppose the possiblity of a loved one coming back to warn someone about something could happen or things like that??

Hate to think that Elvis could be "trapped" because he is loved so much? Not sure what would "cause" that... Definitely prefer him to have passed over

Anyway...these are great stories and I respect everyone's opinion on the matter.

the pool house did change a lot after that incident.
The see trough door isn't there anymore.

I have that pic in larger size because it intrigued me also, it still does.

Never was there any explanation given either about that picture.

I do believe Elvis aura and soul was very powerful. He died there a rather unexpected death. He is burried there along with his family members.

Is Elvis still there??

I truly believe he is


Lisa Marie stopped sleeping in the house after his death and after a disturbing and frightening event.

this photo was taken by a man who toured Graceland after Elvis died....

The photo was proven years ago to be of Al Strada or Dr Nick's son Dean. Can't remember which.

It is ludicrous to believe this was Elvis if it was taken December 1977!

Just ludicrous.

Graceland is haunted and there is little doubt to the question.

Little doubt??? :lmfao::lmfao::lmfao:


Too many people close to Elvis and Graceland have experienced strange things happening there that cannot be explained as anything other than supernatural.

So these things couldn't be anything other than supernatural? Anything? How about imagination? :lmfao::lmfao:


On top of all this we have to remember that Graceland also holds a cemetery where Elvis' remains and those of his family are at and if you add all this up is there really much to doubt about it unless you just don't believe in the spirit world?

Yes, that pool house picture is one I can't forget. Al Strada said it was NOT him. The other person mentioned many years ago was one of the teenage Mann cousins. I've never seen who it was proven to be , or if it ever was.

After all the upset about this picture , the man swore he never said anything like that. Of course, it's even on YouTube now. He said it.

Read the part about cold calling. If the punters gave him specific info to begin with, then the trick is ruined. He starts off with generalities, then traps the subjects into agreeing with him.

He never says things like, "Okay, your husband's name was Freddy and he died in a thresher accident on May 5th ..." Never anything specific. Seriously, read all you can about cold calling, then look again at what he does.

He's a great magician.

Himselvis, I've spent probably a total of maybe 20 hours in and around the actual grounds / house at Graceland.

However, I could spend a hundred years there - maybe even staying in Elvis' bedrooom, wearing one of his jumpsuits, listening to his records, making love to Linda Thompson, downing a bucket of amphetamines, eating hamburgers - and I'd still never believe that Elvis' spirit was there! If I don't believe in ghosts or sprits, why would I make an exception for Elvis' non-corporeal form?

I'm betting you've been to Graceland and seen or felt something. Great. That's your perception, and if you want to believe that, fine. It's kind of like religion and God for me: I'm not a believer myself, but for anyone else: hey, whatever floats your boat. Go for it, I say.

I am so positive about spirits etc, because there has never been any ... are you ready for my favourite word, people? ... proof that they exist! I don't believe in fairies either. I don't need to "research" this topic because there is simply no such things as ghosts. People see what they want to see; hear what they want to hear. And for everything that can't be explained, some people say "Oh, it must be supernatural". Whereas, I prefer to say "It can't be explained".

I've spent quite a bit of time at graceland and I can't say that i ever saw anything "supernatural" happen but that does not mean that stories i heard from what i consider to be reliable sources, employees of Elvis/family members, have no validity.

Himselvis, I've spent probably a total of maybe 20 hours in and around the actual grounds / house at Graceland.

However, I could spend a hundred years there - maybe even staying in Elvis' bedrooom, wearing one of his jumpsuits, listening to his records, making love to Linda Thompson, downing a bucket of amphetamines, eating hamburgers - and I'd still never believe that Elvis' spirit was there! If I don't believe in ghosts or sprits, why would I make an exception for Elvis' non-corporeal form?

I'm betting you've been to Graceland and seen or felt something. Great. That's your perception, and if you want to believe that, fine. It's kind of like religion and God for me: I'm not a believer myself, but for anyone else: hey, whatever floats your boat. Go for it, I say.

I am so positive about spirits etc, because there has never been any ... are you ready for my favourite word, people? ... proof that they exist! I don't believe in fairies either. I don't need to "research" this topic because there is simply no such things as ghosts. People see what they want to see; hear what they want to hear. And for everything that can't be explained, some people say "Oh, it must be supernatural". Whereas, I prefer to say "It can't be explained".

Look, please understand that my ribbing here is all in good fun, and this has been one of the most entertaining threads in weeks. Some people believe in all of this stuff, others don't. And that's cool.


Great post.

Don't believe in any of that mumbo jumbo myself.

Some of the "spiritualists" from years ago have moved into the "Ufo" sector now....apparently it's the hippier form of conning people out of thousands while filling their heads with stories of little green men or spirits!!

OK, all a lot of great dialogue!

But we lost a line of discussion a bit earlier...

someone said that Lisa Marie stopped sleeping in Graceland after Elvis died due to some incident...

What was it? does anyone have the scooop?

In Joe Esposito's book "Straight Up" it states that, "The moment Linda Thompson hung up the receiver (after Lisa Marie called Linda to say Elvis had passed away), every light in her apartment went off. Strangely, in the entire building, only the lights in Linda Thompson's apartment went dark"...

I don't know if this is an Elvis Ghost story, but it reminded me of this...:lol:

Lisa and a friend had spent the night in aunt deltas room after elvis death and the girls heard nosies outside the window well after that lisa didn't want to sleep there, so everytime when lisa would go to memphis she slept at her aunt pastys place.

you are right of course...assuming it was taken after he "died" as some like to believe...so not sure myself. I also am questioning the bars from the pool house gate being in the background, doesn't make sense to me.

Of course healthy branches fall for nothing: only last year here in Australia, a 10-year-old girl was killed as she slept in a tent in one of our most famous parks - right under a tree. Later examinations proved the tree was perfectly healthy. It was just a bad accident.

The story of the Elvis image on the glass is true. I've seen an interview with the lady on tv who now lives in the house. Best I remember, Elvis had the house built in the early 60's for his handicapped friend Gary Pepper. It's back yard backs up to the fence at Graceland and it's very near Vernon's house on Dolan Street. Elvis was supposed to have spent some time in the house to visit gary and to also just get away from Graceland for a quick sec. I believe her story is full of holes though. She made it seem that Elvis face was appearing on some glass but from what I can tell it looked as if someone drew a rough outline of Elvis' profile, turned on the hot water in the shower and let the glass steam up and voila.....elvis appears in the glass.

Is this the lady who they took a video tour of her house and she had Elvis items literally in every room (Elvis hot pads, towels, toilet seat covers, throws, pics, etc...)? Sorry...but even if our man was standing there himself, her having so many items around just doesn't lend truth to the story. It seems like she would be looking for Elvis in anything she's such a huge fan. I mean, heck, the ghost of Christmas past could be standing there and she'd claim it was Elvis.

You are correct, because somethings are unexplained does not mean they are of a supernatural origin. By the same token just because some scientists don't believe in something like ghosts etc. does not disprove it either.
But a lot of things attributed to supernatural origin do end up being other things-but not always in every case. Sometimes there is no rational explaination and that is where some look for other answers.
Also it is not just people with "mental imbalances" who see things which do not always have a rational explaination.

Can you show some examples of unexplained things which can actually be studied? Rather than someone being 'visitied' by a little green man or an angel.

If you are giving examples refrain from the Bible as the parting of the waters by Moses or Jesus walking on water can not be proved to have actually happened and thus cannot be examined.

The Ghost of Elvis dressed in a white-sequined suit has also been seen by stagehands at the Las Vegas Hilton where he often performed in the early 1970s. Elvis' Ghost has also been sighted in a run down old building just off Nashville?s Music Row which had once housed the recording studios of RCA in the 1950?s. The Ghost of Elvis has been seen here as it was a pivotal place for him for it was here that Elvis recorded his breakthrough 1956 hit single, Heartbreak Hotel. People that have worked there claim that every time the Elvis name is mentioned something odd happens. For example ladders fall down, lights pop or go out and unexplained noises are heard coming through the sound system.

Although I've never come across anything which proves the existance of ghosts to me, since I believe in an afterlife I am open to the possibility and regardless...I love a good ghost story.

I always look "for a logical explanation" in all things.
To NOT do so; would be quite limiting to ones knowledge and intelligence.

I have a grandson who I have great converations with.
In my differing studies of religion, metaphysics, etc. I only have this conclusion : it is great to use ones "intelligence and reasoning" ability .
But, at the end of it all; if one isn't big enough to admit some things cannot be explained with your intellilect and "facts" ; I feel that limits us too.
Who in the world can assume one knows all things?
IMO; that shows ones ignorance and mindset as well as blindly accepting everything is paranormal if it can't be explained by me.

In my differing studies of religion, metaphysics, etc. I only have this conclusion : it is great to use ones "intelligence and reasoning" ability .

But, at the end of it all; if one isn't big enough to admit some things cannot be explained with your intellilect and "facts" ; I feel that limits us too.

Who in the world can assume one knows all things?

IMO; that shows ones ignorance and mindset as well as blindly accepting everything is paranormal if it can't be explained by me.





Hi Cameron,



Well said.



I would like to add, that you obviously, and many others do here, too, apply this to other subjects as well. Going with what makes sense. Not with one person's point of view. For instance, if it is the written word, it certainly doesn't mean that it is true, which generally speaking, some people, tend to believe.



Or, to blindly believe one person, (I always ask myself "what is their motive?") isn't using one's reasoning capabilities, to the maximum. However, as you said, reading or taking in all, then going on what makes sense, (I guess some life experience has to kick in here) is a good way to be. I'm so open, lol, I think too much breeze blows in there at times, hehe (nah, joking), I have a lot to learn.



Take care,

Kim

well I wrote something on this thread about a possible Elvis ghost story....so did a few others...guess you just have to read back a page or so......the day Linda found out Elvis died (same day he died) and all the lights in her apartment only went out for no reason....the branch that broke off a perfectly healthy tree as the MM and paul bearer's were carrying Elvis' coffin outside to hearse. Billy Smith's words about being at Graceland after Elvis died and he would hear, "Hey Billy!" like a really loud whisper and it was Elvis.....or Billy felt the need to look up at Elvis' window and saw him there (or thought he saw him there).......stuff like that......very creepy.....but I for one would love to think he is still around. (not alive...but as a ghost or a spirit. I don't see how that strong of a spirit while alive - can't still be around in death)

The Ghost of Elvis Presley is also claimed to have appeared in the lobby of the famed Heartbreak Hotel, and one witness who took a photo of the apparition says, ?I heard music coming out of the chapel, not wedding bells, but what sounded like Marilyn?s song, Diamonds are a Girl?s Best Friend.?

The Ghost of Elvis dressed in a white-sequined suit has also been seen by stagehands at the Las Vegas Hilton where he often performed in the early 1970s. Elvis' Ghost has also been sighted in a run down old building just off Nashville?s Music Row which had once housed the recording studios of RCA in the 1950?s. The Ghost of Elvis has been seen here as it was a pivotal place for him for it was here that Elvis recorded his breakthrough 1956 hit single, Heartbreak Hotel. People that have worked there claim that every time the Elvis name is mentioned something odd happens. For example ladders fall down, lights pop or go out and unexplained noises are heard coming through the sound system.

:clap::clap::clap::clap::lmfao:

Oh how I wish that someone would push the boundaries by going out to the old Nashville Music Row studios, take some video or audio recording equipment, invoke the ghost of Elvis and see what happens! LOL. :clap: Now that would be value!

No, he'd be too busy haunting Graceland, wouldn't he??? :lmfao:

Nothing would happen if someone did that!

Thanks for replying ksimms,
After I posted my question I did see some of the stories. I'm not a believer or a non-believer in ghosts myself. I've not had any kind of paranormal experiences myself. Which is just fine with me!! :) But I hear stories like these and you just have to wonder. :hmm: Pretty spooky!

In the film and book of Priscilla (elvis and me) she alreaddy stated that the house seemed to be haunted by Gladys...

I once read a comment that Gladys waited for her son, right there at Graceland , waited until his time had come...

If we really believe all these creepy tales then we can wonder..

Did Elvis die so soon because of Gladys wanting him with her or missing him...:hmm:

But hey it is almost Halloween and I must say when I heard that statement of Gladys maybe waiting for him It did linger on a bit in my toughts.

You do know Billy has said in the same breath in Revelations that it probabaly was his mind playing tricks on him.

Very true.

This irrational belief that Elvis is somehow haunting Graceland or other areas is complete rubbish.

It is amusing to see how easily led some are to believe in it though!

I saw an article about John Paul II appearing in a fire lol I thought the burning bush went out with the rest of the Old Testament as purew fiction.....seeing as the world was made in 7 days and woman is made from mans rib!

well of course...what else was he going to say? I truly believe it was him? Look at what people are saying on here about that stuff - imagine what other names Billy would be called had he actually admitted he thought it was Elvis' ghost. I'm just speculating of course because I wasn't there, nor have I spoken to Billy on this subject.....but I can certainly understand how he feels.

Thats the trouble people believe what they want to and if they believe in ghosts then it must be a ghost to them.

Of course going through an emotion time can evoke memories and that's what I believe happened and it seems Billy does as well as he said as much.

Billy talked pretty openly in Rev.

Exactly. After my mum died, I kept "hearing" her voice around me, clear as day, for a couple of weeks. And even "feeling" her there with me.

But I was smart enough to realise that it was just my mind and emotional turmoil playing tricks on me.

However, that event did make me appreciate why some people choose to believe in an afterlife. It would be great to think Mum's there waiting for me, but .... naaaaaah! The whole ghost and afterlife thing is just a nice idea to make us feel better about people whom we love falling off the twig, and this mortal existence here on earth. Once you're dead, you're dead.

Like Elvis.
