You know, like Elvis is still alive, Elvis was kidnapped by extraterrestrials...How and when did it start?
I'm wondering about this too..............
Thanks for putting up the question
Rumours like this are usually started by two types of people:
Complete *****s who are delusional, or people who want to prey on those deluded *****s to make a buck.
Unfortunately, the delusional *****s are the most rabid of Elvis fans.
When a big star or personality dies, you get the "alive" rumours. People can't comprehend that someone so big as Elvis could actually die, so the rumour mill goes into overdrive. Some *****s just can't accept reality.
These alive rumours are soon followed by the "death conspiracy" theorists, ie "Elvis was killed because he knew too much", "the royal family killed Diana" etc.
It's all ridiculous, and I try to ignore it. Elvis is dead: no conspiracies, no FBI witness protection, no Elvis in Kalamazoo etc, and no cover-ups.

Ok Getlo, I guess we all know and accept the fact that Elvis is dead... But who exactly are these "complete *****s" you're refering to? Some fans? And the people who just want some money, same question, anybody has their names?
Yes, ***** fans. They start websites like this:But who exactly are these "complete *****s" you're refering to? Some fans? And the people who just want some money, same question, anybody has their names?

And of course the "Elvis is alive" brigade, the likes of Gail Brewer-Giorgio, Major Bill Smith etc etc. Almost too many to mention.
All pure evil.

people who don't want to accept the fact that such a legend is really gone. People who believe that if there was any justice in the world, Elvis wouldn't have been taken from us at such a young age ... everyone must wish and dream that Elvis was still alive at some point, right? some people will truly believe that such a person like Elvis could never be taken away from us, there just HAS to be a more plausible explanation to them. (and no i'm not putting Elvis on a pedestal, but the people who are on such websites might be. i do not mean for this to sound like a controversial reply- honest!

Actually, it was the Elvis fans and the fan clubs way back in 1977 .
Giorgio and others didn't look into any of that until 1986-1987.
I understand it started because Vernon called some and told them to not come to the funeral. As they looked at other things; it started the questioning. All the "clues" are on some of those sites. I believe I and others pretty much ran all those so called "clues" down years ago.
Except for that darn pool house picture .

yep...and Gail's book had some really good points in it....except now some of the things she had in her book have been explained. She really almost had me convinced when I was reading her book. But here is how I look at it - for Elvis to have faked his own death - he would have had many people involved to help him carry it out. There is NO WAY that many people would have kept it a secret all these years.....see what I mean?Actually, it was the Elvis fans and the fan clubs way back in 1977 .

Back to the original question, it started when Vernon told people not to come to his funeral and then the whole casket thing and the body not looking like Elvis....and it just took off from there....oh and someone said they sold "Elvis" a plane ticket under the name Jon Burrows who left the country right after ELvis died......and nobody collected his 3 million insurance policy....so stuff like that kept coming up and let's not forget the spelling of his middle name on the coffin....and the fact he's not buried next to his mother - which we all know he would have wanted.....okay I'll stop now....but you can see how it all snow balls out of control.
You ran down all the clues years ago?Actually, it was the Elvis fans and the fan clubs way back in 1977 .

Who are you?!
coffin I'm sorry, I meant headstone.
You're welcome. I thought it was interesting sorting through all that.
I learned a lot from the ones that were there .
Nice people.
Yes, there was some good points, thanks to his fans.
They followed him everywhere back then.
Yes, I read her book as well as others. It was a very good plot/mystery.
I wish the fans had been right. In some things, they were.
I think people just like to make up stories or they may be jealous of elvis. I find that the gossip seems to happen to everyone not just elvis, it seems that me that somebody aren't happy till they pulling the wool over someones eyes or simply making up stories.
His fans always loved Elvis; same as we do.
The only thing that aggravates me is the real *****s that like to fool others by pretending to be him !!Those people are not fans, IMO. And some have taken advantage of the more trusting.
That makes me mad !!
l agree but maybe these people aren't true elvisHis fans always loved Elvis; same as we do.

The "fake elvis", obviously not.
the fans that just " hope and pray" he didn't die...?? They're probably bigger ,truer fans than any of us.
We all wish elvis was here, but sad as it is he's gone and we have to accept that and enjoy the things elvis had left us.
I agree and some nuts just prey on the ones that want him to be alive.
Truthfully, I wish the "fakes" could be locked up. But, it seems it's no crime .
Unless, as some they solicit money or other other valuable things.
as some of you know, as I've shared in the past - a person on myspace was claiming to be Elvis aka Jon Burrows. he was on my friends list but I was told that "The About Elvis" contacted him and started asking questions and he pulled his page....not sure the whole story. But I asked him once when he first found me (yes he found me....strange huh?) that if he did really survive what about Lisa and Priscilla? His response was - "well they'd obviously know"...anyway...I really wish it were true....but I just don't see how that could be......
