Did JOHN LENNON'S GHOST visit The Beatles in 1995?

This is one of the spookiest ghost stories in rock, and it involves one of the most iconic musicians in the history of recorded music. Did John return to The Beatles while they worked on his songs for the Anthology in 1995? Here's the story; you be the judge!

[@bradparker9664]

Paul was right. I don't believe in coincidence. There's also the story Julian Lennon tells of being in Australia and being given, I believe by an indigenous person, a large white feather, and John had specifically told Julian that if he saw a white feather after John's demise, it was from him. Very well done, sir.

[@RTA6226]

Yes. Also there's an interview with Julian and Cynthia when Julian was a very young man. He talked about the white feather then and that he had been watching for it.

[@secularZoo]

John was "kinda cocky" after all, but as rare a bird as you've ever seen

[@bobjpgr3683]

John is Free As a Bird. Did you see the part of the Anthology where a purple light came in view while Paul was being interviewed? The cameraman saw the light and Paul told him not to edit that. Spooky. Who knows if it was real, but I’d like to think so. Erin

[@pikemeredith5604]

John's voice was SO clear on Now & Then he probably heard it from the heavens.🌟

[@AbigailJrney-1]

Very interesting story!

[@stony2494]

The Peacock in white is a symbol of Free as a Bird 🦅 ❤

[@thomascollins1739]

So ironic isn’t it. That is the truth.

[@colindeer9657]

Well, I’m a cosmic kinda of guy and I say it was John, you can see how much particularly, George’s face lit up after Paul had said that. Amazing photo too. Julian, also recalled seeing a white bird in front of him on one occasion. John was right into astral travel. If there was a way for John to make himself known to them, here it was. The universe is full of things we are blind to here in this level until shown. Thanks so very much for the presentation. Cheers Colin 🇦🇺

A peacock. A bird. FREE AS A BIRD

[@lauracohen385]

Never knew about any of this . The anthology sets do have some of the best Beatles songs on there. I’m glad that your channel exists because it’s great to hear so much unknown knowledge about the Beatles and other bands

[@javierszapari5836]

Very nice and emotional video. Love this story!!!

[@superfuzzymomma]

Excellent insight nto things, my friend! Well done. Welcome back!

[@garys8357]

Look Lennon & McCartney are a class apart as song writers, why keep analysing them and not accept they were the best in our lifetime. George added another dimension, which was rarely accepted, but in my opinion George wrote some of the best songs. The Beatles set the standard and although there are many good songs since them, only a few met the standard and only on the odd occasion, not consistently. No one has met their standard on a long standing continuous basis . .......oh and by the way Ringo did his bit too and is a greatly under estimated drummer. Stop questioning the Beatles and accept these boys are best to date on so may fronts.

[@jellycream1964]

Did Paul own the peacock or was it wild and it just happened to walk by?

[@TheGuitarHistorian]

I was not able to find any evidence that he owned it. I did try to look that up. So I have to assume it was wild, which makes it even more spooky.

[@bradparker9664]

@@TheGuitarHistorian i've heard Paul tell this story on a couple of occasions, and he never mentioned that it was his. I kind of feel like he would told the others at the time, "Oh that's just Chuck. He's a pet." In England, I believe that pretty much everything in nature, be it the wildlife or trees or whatever, is owned by the royal family. So that white bird just cruising through Macca Land was probably on an errand for the Queen. "I'm just taking these papers up to Balmoral."

[@johngibson911]

No, the Royal Family don’t own all the wildlife in Britain - the monarch does still have an ancient right to exclusively take swans from the Thames but it’s just a quirky bit of old lore that people like to refer to and nobody actually eats swans any more. Peacocks in Britain are principally descended from birds originally brought from India by wealthy 18th & 19th century landowners to decorate their country estates and aren’t wild. Leucistic peacocks are very rare, and I’m sure John would have liked one as a pet if he’d still had his own country pile in the Mother Country, so this one made a good metaphor at the time.

[@geoffreyevans1549]

@@johngibson911 I did hear of swans going missing of late and it was put down to immigrants.

[@dougsfilmtv9810]

That is interesting I never heard of that story before. I think that was John giving them the sign I am here.

[@SuperAnimelover100]

I believe the Peacock was John so what a great surprise. I very much enjoyed . Thank you. :)

[@MrSFSTUDIOS]

When it comes to the soul and the personality, Ancient Egyptians believed in a BA and a KA. The KA is symbolized by upraised arms joined at the biceps. This was your eternal soul. The personality of a person, the BA was depicted as a little bird with a human face and arms. So who knows? Anything is possible. I hope the peacock sang for them and displayed its feathers, that would have been very John-like.

[@AnneEloiseOfCNY]

Very beautiful and emotional. Thanks for these insights. And yes, that peacock was John Lennon.

[@RTA6226]

I agree. 😍😍😍

[@larsfrosznielsen3536]

So beautiful story. I believe Paul was right, and I also think it's not the first or the last time. Paul's white peacock....when did he get it?

[@TheGuitarHistorian]

I couldn’t find anything that it was a pet

[@larsfrosznielsen3536]

No, but I guess it doesn't just came flying🤔🕊@@TheGuitarHistorian

It may not have been John, but I'd go so far as to say it represented him as being there, and was his doing.

[@juanbernando]

😊It was either John or just some publicity stunt pulled by the surviving Beatles themselves or a publicist. Still, I think it's a nice touch.👌 Very creative way of remembering John.

[@shuddupeyaface]

It's earie, how those early Dylan tapes sound so similar to this. A thousand + miles apart and yet connected in a strange way.

[@chumola9]

Interesting. Well, the white bird is likely from John. And it even tells us more, think about it. John said he would leave a white feather, but an entire live white bird appears instead. Telling us that the next world is not only there but is greater than what we might be greater than we know.

[@aporue5893]

such a beautiful bird. 💖

[@paulorlando5877]

So what happened to the bird after the photo shoot, did it just fly away? lol.Did someone take it?

[@petejones879]

Please tell me this is a joke... John Lennon coming back as a white peacock... Jeez.. Anyone who believes that also probably believe that Paul died in 66 and Elvis and Michael Jackson are still alive... Ffs

[@InterWebGuy99]

New Sub. Really enjoying your videos taking me back to when I wore a younger man's clothes. If there ever was the perfect time for John to make an appearance, it would be their reunion, working with his musical gift to them. That all three instantly knew it was John was the proverbial icing on the cake.

[@NJF60]

There’s no doubt that it was John… no doubt at all. The Beatles will always be together forever in time…past and present and future…

Oh how strange, what a pile of s..t, dont supose they forgot to mention there is freerange peacocks roaming wild on his estate because john bought them to roam frree, like all peacocks do when you have a thousand acres.

[@jonathanrosaler8286]

I mean maybe that's what made them want to work on Free As A Bird first. Sometimes life is random like that but it doesn't necessarily mean it's just a coincidence.

[@pastorandreaswendt]

There IS life after death...but there is no reincarnation. It's fun to think John is still lurking around his mates, but Lennon is dead.

[@TheGuitarHistorian]

I would hate to think that the afterlife is simply having to watch your friends live their lives but not being able to participate. I think it’s more of a “dropping in” at opportune times.

[@fredthejunkman]

@@TheGuitarHistorian You really think Lennon is floating around somewhere? He's either in the presence of God or he's in Hell.

I believe that our consciousness is special, and that after death, it becomes one with the universe. I don’t know if any “gods” have anything to do with it, but from a scientific perspective our electrical impulses in our brain are measurable and exist. And I believe that we may be able to revisit wherever we want to.

[@markzappasodi]

I must make a correction. 1994 was NOT the first time that the three Beatles had been photographed together in 25 years. There are several photos of Paul, George and Ringo together at the wedding reception of Eric and Pattie Clapton in the UK in 1979. The three of them are posed with Skiffle king Lonnie Donnegan. Look it up on the internet.

[@MUE4731]

Talk about fake, McCartney is the biggest bullshit artist, he keeps coming up with these stories about different things now that there’s nobody left to question him about them. You could see in the anthology series George wasn’t that interested in working with Paul, he wasn’t interested in finishing now and then yet here we are almost 30 years later and paul goes and records the song pretty much by himself and passes it off as a Beatles song. I’m sure if George was still around he would have stopped it.

[@TheGuitarHistorian]

Stay tuned. I actually agree with you about now and then. Paul talks about the band being “Democratic“ and if one doesn’t want to do something, they don’t do it. However, after George said he didn’t like the song he still did it. Not cool and not Paul’s best moment.

[@dannyvine3605]

One of the reasons George was not happy with Now & Then was that John's voice was poor due to the quality of the tape recording and his voice being drowned out by the piano in parts. According to Olivia Harrison, George felt because of these technical issues, a good recording could not be done. Until Peter Jackson and his team found a way to isolate John's voice away from the piano. Olivia Harrison said that George would have whole-heartedly worked on Now and Then in 2022-2023 with Paul and Ringo.

[@bobbystereo936]

If George worked on the damn song in 1995 then of course he would've helped finish it in 2023.
