Paul’s car crash killed him almost instantly. As such, he was not administered the Last Rites before he died. Campbell and the remaining Beatles feared that as a result, Paul’s soul would spend eternity in Limbo. These concerns are poignantly expressed in the song “Nowhere Man.” ---

The original title of “Got To Get You Into My Life” was “Got to Get Some Life Into You” and was actually written by Ringo after he ran McCartney off the road and tried, unsucessfully, to resuscitate him. ---

-During the launch of Apollo 7 in October 1968, mission commander Wally Schirra made the cryptic remark “Blackbird, fly” which was equally mysteriously entered as “This bird’ll fly” in the radio communication transcript. This was over a month before the Beatles’ “White Album” was even released—but exactly two years to the day since the supposed death of Paul…who’s wife, Linda, was related to Schirra’s family by marriage, on her mother’s side. ---

Neil Armstrong’s cryptic second line after landing on the moon was “Paul is dead.” Paul McCartney is thanked in the end credits of _Night of the Living Dead_ with no explanation given. Paul McCartney was not nominated for President in any election since 1966 - and dead men are not eligible to run for President. In a 1976 RAND study of the effects a global thermonuclear war would have on human civilization, the death of Paul McCarthy was not listed as one of the effects despite the fact that he would clearly have been killed if he was alive. Paul McCartney has not been linked to the assassination of John F. Kennedy - despite the fact that every person now alive has been linked in one way or another. ---

Linda “McCartney” 's last words - “now I’ll get to meet this Paul guy I’ve been hearing so much about” well, if Paul died in 1966 and Linda and Paul did meet until [1967](http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/obituaries/80481.stm) , it makes sense that she married the imposter thinking he was Paul and, due to the “single beds” theory in the OP, discovered the terrible truth at some point inthe marriage ---

If you play Pink Floyd’s _Dark Side of the Moon_ while watching the DVD of the Beatles’ movie **Help!** with the start of DSotM timed to start with the first shout of “Help!”, at 9:21 into the song you’ll see a closeup of Paul while Pink Floyd sings “horrific car crash.” ---

Heather Mills is actually rumoured to be the love child of Paul McCartney and long time girlfriend Jane Asher. She married the imposter to get her rightful share of the McCartney estate. The real Paul was a “meat-and-potatoes” man, and suddenly he’s into this veggie stuff. Yeah, right. What more proof is required? Yoko Ono actually admits she wanted to go after Paul, until she met “him.” (the imposter). That’s when she set her sites on John Lennon.
