The William Campbell clue was invented by Fred LaBour who was an arts reviewer for The Michigan Daily, student newspaper at the U. of Michigan.
From the history of the PID story:
"A followup article, printed in J. Gray's underground journal "Big Fat Magazine", gives the date of Russ Gibb's broadcast (12 October 1969), the date of Fred LaBour's tongue-in-cheek response (14 October 1969), and even details some of the clues invented by LaBour---the invention of William Campbell, Paul's "look-alike" (LaBour originally wanted to call him Glenn Campbell but thought that would be too obvious); the statement that a walrus was a Greek symbol for a corpse (this seemingly derived from the Harper/Ulviden clue that the walrus was a Scandinavian or American Indian sign of death!)."

What is the origins of this person.. where did the name come from? The name William Cambell was part of the misinformation put out there when this story first broke. There are so many false clues mixed in with the real ones, that it became very confusing for any amatuers trying to get to the bottom of this mystery back in the late 60's. This is still speculation of course, but a lot of us have come to the conclusion that Beatle Bill's real last name isn't Cambell, but William Sheppard. Forget the name Cambell, it leads nowhere. (IMO) |

William Sheppard is derived from a few places. First of all, the name William and varations of it appear several times in post-1966 Beatles lore. Sheppard comes from the White Album's "The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill," which was about the tiger hunter William Sheppard. Then there's the Billy Shears alter ego (a shepherd shears sheep). It's also theorized that this is where the name Sgt. Pepper came from (Sgt. Pepper = Sgt. William Sheppard).
Also, in the Magical Mystery Tour film, there's a scene where the supposed Faul appears dressed in an Ontario Provisional Police uniform behind a sign that says "I W A S." One theory is that W A S is actually his initials: Willaim A. Sheppard. It's also worth noting that in the credit's for Paul/Faul's 1982 song Wanderlust, there's a drummer by the name of Adrian Sheppard. The odd thing is that nobody can apparently find information on who this person is, leaving yet another possibility that it was a relative of Faul's birth ego or perhaps a sly reference to himself (William Adrian Sheppard).
I know that all sounds like bunk above, but I'm too tired to really elaborate on it. There's lots more to it, actually.

A couple of the radio shows made mention that Paul's replacement was supposedly from the Edinburgh, Scotland. Now, one of the most prominent clans in Scotland is the Campbell clan of Edinburgh. Perhaps the place to start is the Clan Campbell HotelThen might you might look up the Campbell surname at the Peerage. You'll find Sir Ian Douglas Campbell, 11th Duke of Argyll who was born June 18, 1903 and died April 7, 1973. Unfortunately, none of his male off-spring would seem to be good candidates for being Paul's replacement. There is no mention of "William Campbell". Lord Colin Ivan Campbell might draw some consideration, but it appears he's still alive. Anyway, if there was someone from the Campbell clan from Edinburgh, he had to have come from another section of the family tree (which could take on quite an extensive search). So if we are going at more from clan Campbell, we might very well start with wikipedia:Clan Campbell. Or try a shortcut by searching for wikipedia:William Campbell. If you scroll down to the very bottom of the page of wikipedia, there is William Stuart Campbell. Now just exactly how it came to be that "Stuart" is his the middle name is anyone guess. But there you go, if you can find more, then good luck! |

"Junior"Campbell seems to be from Scotland !  |

Yes, although a very minor point that Junior is from Glasgow not Edinburgh. Nonetheless, for what it is worth, it is still Scotland.

Are you all aware that Faul owns land on the Mull of Kintyre which is next to a place called Campbelltown? Coincidence? I don't think so. Campbell seems to be also the name of an Illuminati bloodline family.
I believe there are three Pauls and one of them is Phil Ackrill who, in interviews as Paul, refers to Scotland quite a bit. Faul aka William Sheppard aka Aleister Crowley lives and spends his time on his estate in Peasmarsh, SUSSEX. Phil Ackrill's Paul (who has a thicker accent than the other two) lives in or near Scotland. And JPM, the real one, seems to spend a lot of time here in the United States.

I always thought that he spent more time in St. Johns Wood, but that's just a personal assumption I made, I could be proven wrong.
Just out of interest why did you capitalise "SUSSEX?"

Junior Campbell was born as William Campbell, and it couldn't have been him, for he was in a band called Marmalade then worked on Thomas music until 2004. He couldn't have been Paul!

Here's a curiousity. "Paul Is Dead" by Jensen Rufe www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4McYkNXFQYA fairly typical litany of the PID clues, with a surprising declaration at the end. Is it BS, or does Jensen know something? |

It's my opinion that Jensen Rufe is trying be sarcastic and make a sick joke. He's merging together Elvis and Faul. Elvis overdosed on prescription medication which caused cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) in 1977, and claiming that "William Campbell" died in a similar way with a cocaine overdose (I haven't ever come across any evidence to suggest that to be the case). I'm afraid it's his way of trying to discount PID.

What's in a name? ;D Parents of Adolf Hitler Campbell lose custody of newborn Honsusnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/11/22/8952917-parents-of-adolf-hitler-campbell-lose-custody-of-newborn-hons"New Jersey couple who lost custody of their first three kids after giving them Nazi-inspired names has been denied the right to take home their fourth child, a newborn boy they named Hons. Heath and Deborah Campbell's other children - Adolf Hitler Campbell, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell - are in foster care. On Monday, the Campbells went to family court in their hometown of Flemington, N.J,. in a bid to regain custody of Hons, who they say was taken from them by state child welfare officials hours after Deborah gave birth on Thursday, reported myfoxphilly.com. Hons is still in the hospital, but the couple has been barred from seeing the baby, they told FOX. Heath Campbell said police came into the nursery and took Hons without a court order. “They kidnapped my kid,” Campbell said. “I’ve been sleeping with his little blanket from the hospital.” The state took custody of the couple’s other children nearly two years ago, saying there were in danger because of previous violence in the Campbell home, The Associated Press has reported. The Campbells have been fighting to get their children back ever since, claiming the violence charges are fabricated. It wasn't clear whether the latest court hearing involved all of the children or just the newborn. The Campbells came into the spotlight in 2009 when a supermarket refused to ice a birthday cake for their now 4-year-old son Adolf Hitler. Heath Campbell defended the children's names and told myfoxphilly.com on Monday that his reverend approved of him naming his new son Hons. The Campbells have denied that they are neo-Nazis.

A name is very important. It affects your character throughout your whole life. But the impostor wasn't called Willam Campbell, anyway.  |
