Wild Conspiracy Theories About The Beatles From Clones To Witches
Decades after they changed the pop culture landscape, The Beatles still inspire sound-alikes, adulation, and a whole barrel full of conspiracy theories. From Paul being dead, songs about demonic possession, and the illuminati, people are pretty sure that the lads from Liverpool were up to no good. A couple theories even involve other famous people like Stephen King and Michael Jackson.
Fall down the rabbit hole of Beatles conspiracy theories, and try to stay sane as things get very curious. Take a moment to vote on your favorite Beatles conspiracies.

In 1994, college student Chris Fishel devised evidence that instead of Paul being passed, that it was every other member of the The Beatles who had actually gone on to the Greaet Beyond. Fishel argues that Ringo Starr was supposedly the first to go, in 1963.
He was then followed by George Harrison in 1964, and John Lennon in 1965.

Prior to the Tate/LaBianca incident in 1969, Charles Manson believed that he shared a telepathic connection with the lads from Liverpool. So much so that he was pretty sure that The White Album was speaking directly to him and asking him to incite a race conflict.
Obviously, this was not the case, but the entire Beatles/Manson connection is worth a read if you have a day to spend with a little conspiracy theory.

Stephen King Killed John Lennon

You're probably thinking to yourself, "why would Stephen King want to take down John Lennon?" Lucky for you Stephen Lightfoot spells it out on his website. Lightfoot states Stephen King, Nixon, and Ronald Reagan, all of them acting on behalf of the CIA and communicating through headlines in TIME, Newsweek, and other similar periodicals worked together to take out John Lennon.
Maybe King was planning on putting the ex-Beatle in a pet semetery? Until the author comes forward with the truth, we'll never know.

The Beatles Were In A Coven Of Rock N' Roll Witches
In the song "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," Paul sings that it was "20 years ago today…" and to those convinced of a Satanic Beatles conspiracy, of course Paul was referring to the passing, 20 years prior, of Satan's earthbound buddy Aleister Crowley.
From there, one can easily connect the dots, and 20 or 30 entirely rhetorical and totally tenuous connections later, we find that the Beatles were part of a Hollywood-area Satanic coven established by Crowley, and frequented by other devil-worshippers including the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin.

'Across the Universe' Is About Demonic Possession

David Richards is pretty sure that John Lennon was trying to summon a demon when he sang "Nothing's gonna change my world." In a post on Henry Makow's site he writes that "John Lennon sings 'gai guru deva' (all hail to the devas). In theosophy, a deva is a spiritual entity, which exists behind the scenes manipulating and directing human behavior.
Luciferians believe they are possessed by these entities when they harm innocent people.

Paul McCartney Is a Clone

In a spin on the Paul Is Passed theory, a small contingent of folks have realized that Paul McCartney isn't actually passed at all... he's a clone. After his accident in France, Paul was taken by the Illuminati and turned into one of the four types of clones. There isn't even enough time to get into that.
The case for this theory? Paul was a terrible bass player and super cheap.
