In 1969 with The Beatles in financial and creative turmoil a strange rumour swept the world. It began with a phone call to a US chat show: Paul McCartney had been killed in a road accident and replaced by the winner of a look-alike competition, William Campbell an orphan from Edinburgh. It sounds unlikely, but millions of fans believed it.
And there were clues that could only be revealed by playing the Beatles records backwards.
Matt Thompson spoke with the man who took that phone call, the hoaxer who developed the myth, and an expert on folklore who sees uncanny parallels with ancient myths about changelings and the darker side of fairies. What does this odd tale tell us about The Beatles place in our cultural history?
