Considering how many movies have been made out of conspiracy theories (JFK, Shakespeare, Lindbergh's baby), someone should make a movie about Paul McCartney dying and being replaced by a doppelganger in 1966 whose name is William Campbell.
Maybe it could be that William is a fan who discovers he can look like Paul and sing like Paul, so he kills him to replace him. Then Brian Epstein finds out and decides not to tell the police, but instead forces other Beatles members to accept this new guy as Paul because there's a lot of money at stake. So they play along, leaving subliminal clues to the fans (eg. on Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album gatefold photograph, McCartney is wearing a black armband featuring the letters ‘OPD’ – ‘officially pronounced dead’).

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
