Was it Anna who posted about has anyone seen a Freddie look alike, this may be similar.
has anyone heard any Elvis type stories
(like he faked his death)
or any stories of Freddie after death sitings,or that he shows up or "haunts" his old hang outs?
look out folks you are now entering the twilight zone

Joy......You read my mind. I`ve been wondering about that too.

Joy......You read my mind. I`ve been wondering about that too.

For a celebrity that was so loved as Freddie was, and died so young, there's bound to be some stories and rumours that got published, but I've never heard of or read any. Sometimes I do some wishful thinking and imagine that he did fake his death and he is living happily on some remote tropical island......

Someone posted on here they had read somewhere he was alive & on a remote island. Wish it were true.

Then there was the incident I wrote about in here where I was talking to my hubby about Freddie one AM after watching that days CATM episode & said it wa a shame how Freddie had died & I heard 2 knocks on the wall of my house. I later went back to bed & dreamed about Freddie & in the dream he appeared to me & told me he was in heaven & allright... Weird...

I have felt his presence many times while writing about him--as if he is guiding me in what to write--and also when I am talking about him to someone on Yahoo Messenger. Plus one night when I couldn't sleep I felt him standing by my bed, stroking my left arm (I sleep on my right side) and saying, "It's alright, let go and go to sleep."

I live in the reality that he is gone..... Elvis is also dead. Sure there may be lookalikes but, there's only (1) of the real person.

Peko, I have also heard that one about Freddie's ghost grives Tony out of show business. I think it was probably more like Tony's demons...as far as the guilt he felt toward Freddie's death that drove him out of show business. I remembering seeing in the Behind The Music special of Tony that he had a nervous breakdown on stage due to the drugs and Freddie's death. He supposedly rambled on in front of an audience about Freddie and about the drug use. I think Tony's demons haunted him more than Freddie did. As far as wondering if Freddie's spirit still walks...I think that when someone dies a violent death their soul is never really at peace. They leave behind unfinished business. I wonder if Freddie still walks in the house that he and Kathy shared. This is where his unfinished business lies.

I agree with you, Tony Orlando's demons are the problem. I still don't like the dramatics that he played out. It still seems that he tried to overshadow Freddie's death with his own problems, drawing more attention to himself. It still goes back to being all about Tony. Know what I mean? Freddie was not self centered like him. I don't dislike Tony Orlando, but he has this dramatics thing, Freddie was more real and down to earth. I feel bad for Tony also, he had some real problems, but he should have helped Freddie, just like he got himself help.

You nailed it Peko!!! 100%. Friends take care of each other. If they felt such a kinship with each other to share drugs then they should have leaned on each other to get clean together. I'm sure his demons are stemmed from guilt.

To Cheryl and MariposaLKB, I believe you about these experiences and think it is great. I believe that people are never really gone. The love in our hearts keeps them alive and all parties concerned - connected. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif
FREDDIE FOREVER!

I have to agree with ya'll about Tony Orlando. At least he got help. Too bad he could've gotten Freddie help...

I've only shared this with a very few people but since this thread got started, I have contemplated sharing my story here. I know everyone on this board wishes things could have happened differently on that fateful night in January 1977. Did you ever wonder that if Freddie could communicate with us he would also tell us he wished it could have worked out differently? Many people have speculated that the events of that night were a cry for help. Well gang, here is my take on that, and yes this is a true ghost story. I was watching my tape of the E! True Hollywood Story that I was dubbing 4 times one weekend for some friends here on this board. Needless to say, Freddie's story was engrained in my subconscious after the 4th viewing. Well, I had been contemplating writing fan fiction for a while, but I had all of these other ideas for stories. Writing a 'what if it could have been different' story was not one of them. A few days later, I was sitting at my computer, thinking which story I wanted to start first, when this strong desire to write the story that has become "Salvation" hit me. I started to get a general outline and that is all, but each and every time I sat down at the computer, detailed ideas started to come to me that I would have never thought of. I really believe it was Freddie writing this story through me, like I'm a ghost writer for a ghost! You have to understand something about me to realize how improbably this is to have happen to me. I am a devout Catholic and I teach Science. I am normally a logical person, so this is something I can not explain, but I know is true. One night I was pondering where this story came from and I got a real sense that Freddie was trying to tell me that he wanted things to have been different. He is very sad he did what he did and wishes someone could have stopped him. This is his way of telling his fans that he is sorry and he would have liked to have gotten help. Why he picked me to convey that message to you all and why he used this story as his means of that conveyance, I could not tell you. You are probably thinking by now that I am either 1) crazy and need to see a shrink myself, 2) making all of this up, or 3) have felt something similar and believe me. I truly hope it is the third possibility. I have felt a kindred spirit here among the friends and fans of Freddie Prinze. That is why I have been brave and shared this with you all. Freddie is smiling that big smile of his on all of us cause I have seen it each and every time I sit at my computer talking and sharing with you all as well as when I was writing my story! The story was only the first encounter with the sweet spirit of this man! I could tell you of others, but this post has gotten long enough. Thank you, Freddie, for allowing me to share your story with your fans and thank you all for listening to him!

Well Luckymama - I came to this board because I missed Freddie. Over the years something inside of me wondered about him. I wanted to find out what really happened? As a mother, with 3 children and a great husband. Something inside was gnawing at me. As you all remember there were really no sites of Freddie Sr. only on Jr. I've have heard Freddie's voice waking me up when it was 5:00 AM in the morning and I had to tape an episode. He said "Wake up so you can tape the episode"! At 5:00 AM It's hard for me to wake up. I believe he really knows about the love we have for him. May it never die!!!

To Luckymama58, THANK-YOU ever so much for sharing this with us. I believe you with all of my heart. I am so happy that you are here and have given us the beautiful story in "Salvation." I enjoy reading it so much. I must tell you. When I first started reading your story, I thought that you were a personal friend of Freddie's because it was so realistic, believeable and all the factors fit. It is a sweet, sensitive, romantic and moving tribute to "Our Prinze". Thank you for your gift to him and all of us. I feel that he is smiling on all of us and speaking to us through the works of the fantastic authors here. I am so gratified at what you have shared with us and cannot thank you enough. I cannot prove it, but I know what you are saying is true.
God Bless You Always.

JennyLee22, I think that is so great! I know what you mean about waking up at 5 am. I believe you and agree with you that Freddie knows and is fully aware of the love we have for him. He is still with us. He has made the transition, but his spirit is still with us. Love has no limits, boundaries, or end.
Thank-You for sharing your beautiful feelings with us. It is so comforting to hear feedback like this. God Bless You Always.
FREDDIE FOREVER!

Atlangel, bless you to for such kind words! I'm so glad we have such understanding people here! http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif Makes up for not having them at home!

Amen Luckymama58 amen.

I enjoyed LuckyMamas story. You all are gonna envy me but my hubby doesn't mind my interest in Freddie/CATM. He even watches episodes with me! http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif How blessed I am to have him! http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

Thanx to Cheryl's mention of this on another thread, I looked up on eBay to see if there was a copy of the Tony Orlando and Dawn album on which Freddie sang backup, "To Be with You". There was, and I managed to be the high bidder!!! I received it last weekend but saved it until this weekend when Luckymama would be visiting me to listen to it for the first time. It got to be very late last night before we had a chance to, and then we had to wait through the first song and all the way to the end of the second (which is the title song) to hear Freddie. OMG!!!! It was only one line, in Spanish--"Estar contigo, mi amor (To be with you, my love)"--repeated over and over almost at a whisper as the song faded out, but it was like hearing him the way I did several months ago. Let me explain.....

I was talking on instant messenger with Luckymama late one night when both of us had the sense that we were feeling Freddie's presence. I also thought I could hear him speaking to me, saying basically the same thing that I heard on the record last night, "Estoy aqui, mi amor (I am here, my love)". Of course at the time I thought I was crazy, but after hearing him on that album last night, I'm not so sure!

That is soooo KOOL Mariposa! Congratulations on getting the album and I have goosebumps from your experience. I truly believe that Freddie let's us know, one way or another, that he is still with us and appreciates all the love and support we have given him throught the years. I think he remembers us because we never forgot him.

Okay gals. I remember that song. Does the beginning go like this?

To be with you, One moment of each lonely day, Can there be no end,

Let's see if that is the same song I remember many, many, moons ago. And NO I don't have that recording....... (Sniff) http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/frown.gif

By the way Mariposa....... Congratulations in getting another Freddie item!!! YaY............. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/wave.gif

JennyLee, yes that is the song. I had never heard of it before this all came about. But boy am I glad I did!!!

I had the opportunity to be here when Mariposa heard this part of the song. The thought that went through my head as I heard him, in almost a whisper like quality, sing this line was, it reminded me of my favorite part of his comedy CD, the part where he whispers "Marie, I love you" in the routine about West Side Story. As I was thinking about this was when I heard her exclaim and I looked at her and she had that look like someone who had seen a ghost! It was an incredible experience. I kind of felt at that moment that he was with us again.

"To be with you" was sung back in the 60's by another artist. That's how I remember that song. It is a beautiful song. I had no idea Tony Orlando sang it with Freddie. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

I'm really happy you were able to get that album Mariposa - I'd love to hear Freddie
whispering/singing that particular line! I have a friend who is a big fan of Tony Orlando and she has practically every album he ever made. What is the name of the album that the song is on and I am going to see if I can borrow it from her and hear it for myself? I won't rest until I hear it now!!

catcopy, the song on which Freddie sings the last line is the title song, "To Be With You". It is the second song on side one.

Congratulations Mariposa,
Ah to hear Freddie whisper such sweet words would give me chills. I'm so happy you were able to get it ! You go girl ! Woohoo!

Thanks for the info on the record. When Ilistened to my copy of it I recently found at a flea market I couldn't really hear him singing, mainly the backup singer singing. So I wondered if they had drowned him out. I had heard that sexy talking at the end of the song & wondered if it was Freddie but assumed it was Tony Orlando. I should've known that Tony Orlando wouldn't talk that sexy LOL! I hope to put a clip of it up on my site one day. Just keep hitting the flea market & used record shops to find it as I don't think it is available on CD. I found my copy at a flea mart. I didn't know that another singer had it out in the 60's. Thanks for the info! How I had found out about it was someone wrote about it on another Freddie site... http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif
