Research & Evidence | Conspiracy Project

In order to effectively create our conspiracy edit, we needed to supply our audience with convincing enough evidence. My crew and I spent time finding a selection of evidence to use within our project and after receiving. I believe that we found fairly convincing evidence. I am personally not convinced by it but I am confident that we will be able to present the evidence convincingly to our audience. Some of the evidence we collected (with sources) can be seen below.

The Headstone "On Presley’s gravestone his middle name Aron is spelt Aaron. Although Aaron is Elvis’ genuine middle name – but allegedly either his parents or himself wanted to change his middle name to Aron, possibly so it was more similar to Presley’s stillborn twin, Jesse Garon Presley; but some fans believe that the misspelling was intentional, and way of letting us know that Presley faked his own death."

The Pool House Photo "Taken on December 31, 1977, is was rumoured that a photo taken by Mike Joseph (who was visiting Graceland with his family) showed Elvis sitting in his pool house. In an interview with Larry King, Joe Esposito then declared that the person in the photo wasn’t actually Elvis, but Al Strada, but not everybody is convinced."

YouTube Research

Other than evidence, we also had to collect some research for the project. This included, news articles, TV news reports, interviews, etc. Using our project/structure plan meant that we had something to follow to help us research into specific areas. Much like the evidence we spent a good deal of time finding everything that we needed.
