WHAT
IS
UPSTAIRS AT GRACELAND?
WE
BELIEVE
THESE PHOTOGRAPHS
TO BE
AUTHENTIC
Due
to the ferocious nature of the attorneys representing Elvis Presley
Enterprises, the originating story of these photos cannot be
told, but these
photographs match in every detail the written descriptions of
Graceland's
upstairs rooms, as found in books authored by Ginger Alden,
Joe Esposito, David Stanley, Red West and Priscilla herself.

Elvis' bedroom and bathroom are still
to this day exactly, precisely the way he last saw them. Nothing
has been touched. Underwear, socks, pajamas, sweaters, gloves,
scarves and other items are still kept in the dresser drawers. |

When
not on tour, Elvis spent all day and all night for weeks at a
time upstairs at Graceland, rarely leaving his temperature-controlled
68 degree haven. Staff brought him anything he asked, whenever
he asked them to. |

The sheets
on the bed are the last Elvis and Ginger slept in. Miniscule
hairs, skin cells and dried body sweat still cover them. The
bed was straightened and food removed from the room by Elvis'
housekeeper only hours before the room was sealed. Bodyguards
claim they also removed prescription drugs, vials and hypodermics. |

Linda
Thompson slept with Elvis for years, pictured here on Elvis'
bed when it had a furry dark rose-colored bedspread.
Linda
was responsible for redecorating Graceland in the rich gaudy
crimson velours and plushes. Priscilla's color scheme used greens
and yellows and whites, and Graceland post-1977 is decorated
in Priscilla's style.

The heavy
double doors guarding Elvis' bedroom are padded for soundproofing.
Today they are chained and locked from the outside to protect
the room and maintain its pristine condition. |

Over
the years, items from Elvis' upstairs office and the furniture
from Lisa Marie's childhood bedroom have been brought down and
put on display. The office contains a white leather couch, piano,
table, desk, gun case and assorted photos and gifts. |
Today, much testimony
and evidence exists to suggest that Elvis saved up three 8-hour
doses of his daily prescription drug cocktails and took them
all at once to commit suicide. His body was found in rigor-mortis
face down between the toilet and the shower. His skin was tinted
blue and he had bitten deeply into his tongue. His pajama pants
were still around his ankles. Three hypodermics and the three
bags for the drugs he usually took at 8-hour intervals were found
next to him. Be it by accident or deliberately, Elvis killed
himself. |
THE
BATHROOM
Towels
still hang.
Toiletries of cologne (Brut), toothpaste (Crest), hair dye, deodorant,
enema and constipation medication, cotton balls, combs, brushes,
hair gel, lotion, various make-up vials and brushes and a couple
of books still litter Elvis' sink and vanity area.

BUT IS
ELVIS ALIVE?
Priscilla
paid for a commission to investigate the circumstances regarding his
death.
That
reports concludes by saying "The Presley Commission is continuing
to monitor matters pertaining to Elvis' disappearance in 1977,
and is active in maintaining intelligence related to the entertainer's
whereabouts, as well as his intentions for future public contact,
if desired."

99% of the fans who enter Graceland don't
realize that as soon as they walk into the foyer, they are standing
directly below where the body of Elvis was found.
In 1968
a tunnel entrance was found on the grounds of Graceland that
historians say dates back to the time of the Civil War and the
Underground Railroad which smuggled slaves to freedom. It led
approx. 300 feet and exited the property in the S.E. corner.
Did Elvis ever use it? Is it still passable today? Why isn't
it ever mentioned?
