Jim Morrison, the famous lead-singer of ‘The Doors’, allegedly died on the third of July in 1971 at the age of 27. The news spread like wildfire around the globe, soon followed by an enormous amount of rumors. Jim died under mysterious circumstances. As with the passing of all great artists a lot of people can’t believe it is true and claim that Jim is still alive. The claims are often accompanied by statements like “Jim staged his own death to get away from the business” or “to get out of a record deal” and the list goes on and on and on…

As someone who is skeptic by nature I don’t believe all this talk about Jim not being dead and faking his death and stuff like that. I just enjoy what is left of Jim (& The Doors), two handful of great records. Did I already mention I’m a skeptic? Well, I’m a skeptic.
Well, I was a skeptic………

Some digging on the internet showed a new wave of ‘Jim is alive’ rumors, even more persistent than right after his death. My search revealed a lot of stories that makes even the most stubborn skeptic doubt his skepticism. Let me quote some stories I found:

On the topic of Jim Morrison, yes, he IS alive and well. My evidence is this. I visited his grave in Pere Lachaise Cemetary back in 2002. As I was heading to his plot, I noticed a slendar older man hiding behind a nearby gravesite. My curiosity got the better of me so I walked closer. The man then turned around as I walked directly up to him. I couldn’t believe my own eyes. I knew then that I was looking into the eyes of the real Jim Morrison. He actually looked much like he did in 1971 but his hair was completely gray and he had numberous wrinkles. However, the basic features were the same. He looked at me without blinking and said, “Well, I can see by your shocked expression, that you know who I am.” Before I could respond verbally, he quickly turned and quickly walked away among the dismal graves. As he got about 50 yards away from me he turned and yelled, “Break on through to the other side!” You may think that I’m nuts but I can assure you that was the real Jim Morrison that I saw back in 2002. I’ve been trying to contact his family members since then but have had no luck.

See? Jim Morrison is visiting his own grave, sending himself his last regards. That should convince you right there. But wait,… maybe you are also a hardcore skeptic, like I was, and need more proof than this. Okay. I have more proof for you in store. I have found a very reliable source who has a remarkable and stunning story that has to be true (implied by the consistent use of capitals):

I SEEN JIM MORRISON IN 92 IN A CLUB CALLED, CLUB CORONADO IN ANHIEM CLAIF. OFF BALL RD. AND MAGNOLLIA, I MET THIS YOUNGER FELLOW AT ONE OF OUR GIGS A WEEK BEFORE WE PLAYED THE CLUB CORONADO HE HAD TOLD ME HE HAD JUST FOUND OUT WHO HIS FATHER WAS AND SAID IT WAS JIM MORRISON AND THAT HE WANTED TO SET IN AND SING WITH OUR BAND AGIAN SO I GAVE THEM MY PHONE # THEY CALLED ME UP AND WANTED TO KNOW WEAR WE WHERE PLAYING NEXT I TOLD THEM THE CLUB CORONADO,,,, THEY CAME TO OUR GIG THAT NEXT WEEK AND THIS YOUNG GUY WHO SAID HIS FATHER WAS JIM MORRISON AND SOME OTHER PEOPLE, WELL I WOULD SAY ABOUT A 20 MIN. AFTER THIS GUY CALLED CLIFF CAME IN I SEEN THIS GUY WALK INTO THE BAR HE HAD LONG SALT WAVEY HAIR DOWN TO HIS SHOULDERS A LONG SALTY WAVEY BEARD DOWN TO OR ABOUT TO THE SECOUND BUTTON ON HIS SHIRT, HE WAS WEARING A LONG LEVI JACKET DOWN PAST HIS HIS KNEES ALMOST DOWN TO HIS ANKOLES IT WAS LIGHT BLUE AND REALATIVELY NEW,AND WAS WEARING SUSPENDERS. HE CAME IN BY HIMSELF WALKED OVER TO THE CORNER WHERE THERE WAS A TABLE AND SAT DOWN. I FREAKED OUT ON THIS MAN, IM THINKING THIS IS CRAZY THIS GUY CLIFF SAYING HES JIMS SON AND NOW IM SEEING HIS DAD IN THE BAR, ANYWAY WE CALLED CLIFF TO COME UP TO SET IN AND SING SOME OLD DOORS TUNES, AS CLIFF WAS SINGING I WAS WATCHING THIS GUY WHO I SWEAR WAS JIM MORRISON, HE WOULD SET THERE AND WATCH CLIFF SING. ONE OF THE BAR MIADS WENT OVER AND SAID SOMETHING TO THIS GUY, YOU KNOW SHE ASKED IF HE WANTED A DRINK, THE GUY NEVER DRANK A BEER OR SMOKED A CIG AND WHEN CLIFF WAS DONE SINGING HTE GUY GOT UP AND WALKED OUT. ME AND THE DRUMMER IN MY BAND WERE THE ONLY TWO THAT NOTICED HIM, IT WAS JIM, NO IFS OR BUTS…. LATER I WAS ASKED TO PUT A BAND TOGETHER WITH THIS KID, WE DID AND CALLED IT THE, LIZARD SON BAND…… AFTER HEARING WHAT IVE HEARD ABOUT MORRISON SURFACING, IT MADE SENCE NOW I KNOW WHY THAT GUY WAS WEARING A MOUNTIAN JACKET , I TEACH GUITAR HERE IN AT LA MIRADA MUSIC IN LA MIRADA CALIF. MY NAME IS OVERTONE, THIS IS A TRUE STORY,,, JUST LOOK UP LIZARD SUN BAND THE NAME WAS CHANGED FOR LEGAL REASONS…….

See? ALL CAPITALS, leaving hardly any room for punctuation nor doubt.

After some more browsing I found a site that not only claims that Jim Morrison is still alive. They also claim that they know where Jim resides and what he does for a living nowadays. They claim Jim Morrison is a ‘cowboy’ now, he is raising horses on his farm. So the cowboy is actually a horseboy. He has a son called Cliff Morrison who is also in a band (The Lizard Son Band). Please note: Jim referred to himself as The Lizard on more than one occasion.

Do you like that? They even have a recent picture of Jim Morrison so we know they are not horsing around.

The facial features show a striking resemblance to the old picture of Jim Morrison. The site also features a small video that shows you a morph from the old Jim Morrison to the contemporary Jim Morrison. Now here is your proof, mr. Skeptic. See for yourself.

If you still are skeptic (which I doubt) then the site offers you official FBI documents stating the true identity of the portrayed individual Jim Morrison. You can even order the VHS Jim Morrison discovery video tape. You can see Jim Morrison singing along with some classic Doors-tunes on the radio. Do you like that? Also available on DVD. VHS and DVD, what more proof do you need?

So now we know: Jim Morrison is still alive. However I have this gut feeling that there is more… The morph proof is very strong proof. You can see the nose, eyes and the mouth are identical. So I did some investigation myself. If Jim Morrison can be proved to be alive with a morph there are many more open cases waiting to be closed. I have created another morph that is now official evidence that Elvis Presley still lives! This stunning evidence will for now and forever proof what many people already suspected: Jim Morrison is Elvis Presley

Still not convinced? Turn on the well-known twilight-zone music and then contemplate this: why have Elvis and Jim Morrison never performed on stage together? Why did they never record a duets album? I think you know the answers by now…

What’s next? Someone claiming Michael Jackson is still alive? What? We all know Michael Jackson is Tupac Shakur, right?
Now stop it,….
Tupac is dead!
