Elvis Presley is ALIVE… Material proof is being presented!!!

What is the truth about Elvis Presley? Ask that question and many will answer ….’He was the greatest entertainer of the 20th Century’; ‘He was the King of Rock ‘n Roll’; ‘He died August 16th 1977’; ‘He is still alive today and faked his own death’. All but one of those statements is based upon personal opinion, the only FACT is that Elvis died on August 16th 1977…or did he?

Why would so many question that statement? Countless conspiracy theories abound as to whether Elvis really died that day and because of them people naturally wonder if they could be true. Sure, there is a death certificate, there was a funeral, there was a grieving family left behind BUT there were also numerous inconsistencies surrounding the circumstances of his death which make many fans believe Elvis faked his own death to escape the life he was leading.

However, one particular ‘theory’ which we feel compelled to discuss involves a nonentity called ‘Jesse’. A woman called Linda Hood Sigmon AKA ‘Shuma’ who runs a website devoted to the said nonentity, claims to KNOW that Elvis Presley is alive and well and is now calling himself Jesse. According to her, Elvis supposedly ‘retired’ on August 16th 1977 and reinvented himself as Jesse in honor of his twin brother who died at birth.

All evidence within Linda’s website is circumstantial and uncorroborated, it would never stand up in a court of law. The FACTS are based solely upon the writings and random musings of TWO people, that is of course assuming that Linda Hood Sigmon is actually in contact with another individual, she could quite easily be fabricating the whole thing herself. It could be that ‘Jesse’ doesn’t even exist and she is playing the role of Elvis/Jesse herself in some twisted, sick game! There is no evidence to prove Jesse exists, no independent witness to verify the ‘facts’, only one woman’s word for it that Jesse is real! As such you are advised in her website to take her word for it or move along!

After learning that Jesse had initially lied to her about his involvement with Gilbert’s documentary, Linda Hood Sigmon goes into great detail on her website outlining the series of events surrounding WHY Jesse decided to get involved with this documentary. According to Jesse, Joel Gilbert, the director of the DVD/CD, hounded Jesse for months, desperately tracking him down because he KNEW he was Elvis and then he blackmailed Jesse into doing the voice-over for the DVD and also ‘persuaded’ him to record some song tracks. Then, according to Linda and Jesse, naughty Joel Gilbert didn’t tell Jesse that he was going to release the songs on a CD so Linda and Jesse are none too happy with Mr Gilbert for doing that. Astonishingly, this public accusation of extortion by Linda and Jesse doesn’t seem to bother Mr Gilbert, it is clearly stated on Linda’s website that Jesse felt pressured into helping Mr Gilbert with his documentary as Gilbert threatened to expose him if he didn’t do the voice-over work! Doesn’t it seem strange that Mr Gilbert isn’t suing Linda and Jesse for making the claim that he is an extortionist? Maybe that’s because Mr Gilbert is riding on the coattails of Jesse, maybe they are all in this scam together, Gilbert gets a persona for his DVD/CD and Jesse at last has a voice? MONEY, MONEY, MONEY! You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours?

Something else that makes this ‘story’ even more intriguing is that Joel Gilbert made inquiries to Jon Cotner in December 2010 regarding this documentary. Mr Gilbert offered Jon Cotner $7,000 to be the voice of Elvis in his documentary. As most will know Jon Cotner sounds remarkably like Elvis Presley, both in respect of his singing and talking voice. Jon speaks in his own natural voice and is well known on the internet, many believe he IS Elvis Presley, it should be noted though that Jon categorically denies that he is Elvis Presley nor ever was Elvis Presley. Unfortunately by the very nature of his voice, people continue to believe otherwise. There is nothing Jon can do about this but it is clear that Mr Gilbert had heard Jon’s voice online and was keen to have him involved in his documentary, we can’t blame him for that!
