It Happened on
November 9, 1966
In the autumn of 1969, a strange hysteria swept across college campuses and radio stations: whispers claimed Paul McCartney had died in 1966 and been secretly replaced by a look-alike. Fans scoured Beatles lyrics and album covers for “clues” — a barefoot Paul on Abbey Road, backward-masked messages on Revolution 9, cryptic imagery on Sgt. Pepper’s. What began as a student’s prank spiraled into an international media frenzy, illustrating how rumor, symbolism, and mass imagination could collide in the electric glow of pop culture’s first conspiracy.
