Is Jim Morrison Alive?
image Most people think the musician Jim Morrison, lead singer for the Doors, died in Paris on July 3, 1971. But Gerald Pitts says that he "discovered Jim Morrison Living on a Ranch in the Pacific Northwest in the summer of 1998." According to him, Morrison is living a quiet life as an American cowboy "away from the Hollywood scene." Even though Morrison evidently engineered an elaborate death hoax to escape publicity, he agreed to appear on film for Pitts. You can buy a copy of this film for only $24.95 (shipping is extra). Pitts' site includes a video comparing the features of Jim Morrison the fifty-something cowboy to Jim Morrison the twenty-something singer. However, no matter how many times I watch the video, I just don't see any similarity.

Hey Keri,
I'm just a Jim Morrison fan and not any kind of celebrity. Nor will I ever be. I did about 2 looooooong years time for Rodeoswest, Inc. because of my sincere appreciation of what Gerald Pitts did to break this story out. I distributed a couple dozen Discovery videos around the world, been on the Chicago MANCOW talk show for an entire day, been banned from the DOORS websites, gotten a video to Billy Idol's manager Carol, and have talked to Cliff Morrison.
Gerald and I had a business falling out so I'm out of the loop with rodeoswest and that's fine. I am still indebted to him in gratitude. I am disgusted with how people can view his tape which has ACTUAL FOOTAGE OF JIM IN IT, talk to him for hours, regurgitate everything he has taught them and then mock ridicule him. Especially people from major cities that are not sophisticated enough to have a university or a higher center of learning.

Well I am going to be working in chicago with Mancow,and I have talked to many people as well,I can say Gerald Pitts is a very nice guy,He never asked for this,I have talked to him many times he is as old as my father,he is honest polite and very sincere but if you try to take over his stuff he has worked hard on he will easily tell you to go to hell in 5 seconds.He is right every body wants Jim.Nobody cares about him but what people fail to realise he put his time and money into releasing a video to show us the world jim is alive,and again like I said before why hasn't even one person stepped in to stop him? Why I will tell you why,this man is Jim all I can tell you is this to prove it watch the little clip where he does the mole match where jim has on the cowboy hat freeze it when it has a close up of his face,then if you can get the Jim Morrison scrap book on sale now in stores,go to page 9 look at jim's whole family then go to page 35 and look at that picture and compare then go to page 42 there is a close up of jim's eyes and it shows the blue look at both pictures,then go to page 45 you will see jim again a perfect chin match, and then go look at what ever you got and keep comparing,Geralds small comparrison don't work you have to do it your self to see like I did and once you do this you will see they do match very much

Firstly I will address myself to kind keri and then refer to this idiot lizard charachter who happily everyone on this website seems to regard as a (american term) schmuck!..is that correct?

Keri..this is probably my last post because I didnt enter this debate to argue if Jim Morrison was alive or deads. Untill I started I didnt know it was such a ..hmm hot topical subject. I merely asked my Uncle...well I've said this all before and dont wish to repeat.

If the Morrison famili do not want photos then that must be their choice Keri...I suggest to you that that perhaps they have mourned their son for over a quarter of a centuary...and if that is their wish...then those photos will return to my Uncles cabinet and will never be seen until his decease..if ever.

Keri..I come from a quite wealth family and wished no gain from this..I just thoughted I coluld lay some ghosts down.

As for you Lizard...you fraud, you ill mannered man...where once did I seek rerward? where once did I seek to gain in these mails...If you knew him as you say then how come his poetry did not inspire your schoolboy pathetic lines...you idiot...stop insulting someone like Keri...who at least beleives a thing truthefully instead of being a pathetic nothing like you. Keri Dont let yourself be upset by this hick..he obviously has little education, and less manners.

Regards Andreii

Keri,

I was just about to leave the site when I read again what you have said..I have said and what lizard has said...

Its bizare because it seems to me that most agreee on either of two points..
1)Jim is alive
2)Jim is dead

You and Lizard thing both agree he's alive! so stop the argue...Lizard..be more polite then maybe you will have more respect from people. Keri..dont get upset bt his rantings dressed in faux poetry..."extending pencil"..I ask you! how rediculous..assinine rubbish.

My solicitors will continue to try to contact the family of Jim Morrison to see how they wish these photos to be handled...if they wish them to be destroyed then they will be..totally. It is my Uncles instruction.

Lizzard...If you want to talk about uneducated cities...well let me inform you that Paris had a University from about 250AD which I suggest is many centuries from whatever ill informed institution that you attended...if any.

To Aries in Canada:
NO! We do no choose to stop this "nonsense", I believe Canada is a free country just like the USA, we can discuss what we want no matter how far-fetched it may seem to others, with the emphasis on discussion - the exchanging of other people's ideas, it doesnt mean that every single person on here subscribes to and believes wholeheartedly in this discussion especially the more insulting ones and ignorant ones. Why dont you stop reading this or if you must take whatever "chill pill" you need to before you do.

And yeterday I met his son,and he is a really amazing person but it had to be so hard without his father,we became the best of friends in a matter of minutes we talked most of the day today!
Now if you do see this video I will tell you what to look for ok so you don't think I am nuts...
In the beginning of the video you see a chic next to her you see a balloon that says 35 look to the right of the balloon over by the wall its Jim,and up against the brick wall you see an indians face.
Now at the end of the clip you will see a concrete doorway stop and look at the top of the doorway,if you don't see it jim don't want you to see him,

I had just checked out Gereld Pitts site again as there is a new video clip on Jim Morrisons' mole on his left cheek. Well Pitts goes on to say it has gone transparent over the years, see I have the same mole in the same place and I had asked pitts why is there no mole on Jims' face, this was last summer 2007 and he stated in our conversation on the phone, "Jim had it removed", but now he states it's there, but transparent. He states about another mole on Jims neck and it is not in the same place as it is in young JDM pics. THE GUY IS A FAKE, I swear this conversation happened and this is a fraud JDM. R.I.P. James Douglas Morrison, so many people miss you

To whom it may concern including Jlizard,
First to JLizard,I understand you put alot of time into this whole thing with Gerald Pitts and did your research,Well I got more research done in 1 month than you did in 2 years only because I have the ability,No I am not cutting you down or anything,no I am not being rude so just wait,Ok I believed so much like your self it was really him,gerald has not seen him in 8 years,his name is John not jim and he did 5 years in prison,Did you know that,Geralds main concern is to sell the video's
John is gone! No one is going to buy them,He would be better off filming Jims son atleast he is alive today,Gerald is a really nice guy,But before I leap I look where I am leaping...I am becoming very close to jim's son we talk everyday,
He wants me to come out to LA..He sounds just like his father I feel I am talking to Jim......Jim is dead,1000% sure he really is gone,
So I no longer will debate the fact this john guy in Oregon is Jim he is not Jim....And I found out the truth about Jim, he is in paris in that plot he is gone.....So Jlizard if you want to make good use of your time me and you can write abook together on the whole story of this guy in Oregan and how he said he was jim!

:roll: Aries in Canada! What are you so upset about? You gave me my first real laugh of the day, I was referring to this whole discussion from the first page to the last. Do all things enrage you like this or is it only the tiny,insignificant ones like other people's opinions whom who regard as inferior to you? Your funny! Got anymore ANGRY SERMONS AND SUPERIOR ADVICE FOR ME?

Peace Out while I go see if I can spot Jim at the local mall with Elvis

:lol: Ohhhhnoooo! more hostility from Keri in Minnasota Hmmm 6:46 in the morning was when I received my first laugh of the day? I consider that pretty good. Actually, I am a huge fan of the Doors and always have been. I enjoy reading all of these theories and what might have beens and it is an excellent way to learn things about the Great Jimbo. AND I certainly intend to keep reading this,pertinent facts, idiot remarks,insults and factual accounts - all of it. and Sorry I will from time to time I will comment on anything I choose just like you and everyone else does but I do worry that Aries/Canada has anger problems, oh sorry! laughing again, he/she was just so angry at me, it just really made me laugh. :coolsmirk:
Posted by RHIANNON  on  Mon Aug 18, 2008  at  01:38 PM
Hi,
I haden't intended to comment on these pages again but I looked just to see if Lizard had picked any holes in my prior statements. (which as I have already comment on..is in the hands of family lawyers.

I was surprised to see that Lizard did not comment...and more amazed to see continuing attacks on both Keri and Aries...both of whom are opposed to eachother as to whether Morrison is alive or not.

As I said before, I have no positive evedance...just three photographs of what may or not be a dead Jim Morrison. I can understand debate over this issue but when comments become cynical and sort of nasty like Rhiannons are...then it sort of defeats the object does it not?

Rhiannon of course you may enter this debate..it is a free world after all....but please dessist from using expletives such as "Oohhhhnoooo" as it is meaningless with no basis in any modern language that I know of and is only used in the context that you used it,as a kind humilliating 'put down!' to Keri...whom I do not think deserves exposure to bad manners!

Keri..My Uncles lawyers want to talk to you; if you have contact address with regard to Jim Morrison estate. They have contact the U.S Embassay in Paris who could not help...all they wish to do is send original photos including my Uncles hand wrote report to the family...for them to do as they want....destroy or whatever! So if you dont mind I will give them your mail address.

I'm sorry all about my aweful English..if I had more time then it would read better...I wish you all a good night, its twenty to one in the morning here and I must to bed for the mornings work.And please everone!..be polite to eachother in dissagrements, otherwise it is just a fisticuffs...a fight..a brawl!

Love

Andreii

Andreii,
Please don't forget about me I want to see them to
yes the morrison's will destroy them,of course thats why I want to see them because I will know if it is Jim or not,I will very easily! Take a copy and email me one its not the original picture anyway,email me the copy not the photo,And yes the attorneys can reach me and I will put them in contact with jim's son or dad!
Posted by keri  on  Mon Aug 18, 2008  at  04:53 PM
Keri,
I will contact my Uncles lawyers tomorrow to see what can be done with regard to your request.

I must tell you that my Uncle is very old fashioned in these situation and still very reluctant to release anything impropper...(not right?) to anyone other than the registered next of kin (I think you say).

My view is this...if at all possible..I think these photoes that I have should be shown to public gaze, because I think..and I have looked at them for days and days now...that they are of Jim Morrison..I am not a liar and my Uncle certainly isn't!...he most certainly does not wish fame for a dead guy who he didn't even know was famous until a few weeks ago.

Keri..be calm.. (I mean by this to have patience)I am proceeding in the best way that I know how to. My Uncles lawyers have had no success until now as I said with contacting the Morrison family..and while they dont doubt that Cliff Morrison is perhaps his son (I dont doubt it Keri)..he is not yet next of kin...legally speaking...Do you see our quandry?

My family dont want to seem like grave diggers...we are in no need of money even although I know the value of what these photos probably are.

Its not me Keri...I want to release them to the fans...but my Uncle (right now) does not permit..and I must respect him.

Sweet dreams from the magical mountains between France and Spain...the magnificent Pyrenees!

A bientot! (local dialect)

Thank you Keri for last page, and for Rhiannon it's time to grow up as you seem to not want to read others opinions, also if i'm your main focus then you are leaving some one else alone, I'm glad to always be on your mind, hugs kisses to you, no anger problem here.......

so thank you rhiannon 😉

Alas,you leave me broken-hearted, I tell you I am a broken woman, but somehow I shall endeavor to carry on. Think of me with pity, often! 🧛 I think your ego can handle it!

Farewell!

:-S Bon Soir..I just wish to visit this site one more time to say goodbye..This question is now out of my hands as police are now involveds.

We in France do not wish to contribute to weird conspiricy theory..we always seek truth and always do. A few weeks ago I contacted a relative of mine about someone quite fameous. My family DONT want to join any mrdia chaos...My family dont want anything to do with the Jim Morrison estate.

They will lodge the photos in a local Mayors office somewhere in Paris and if familly wishes to see then it is their decision.

Keri, I suggest to let this happen..Let Jim die as those doors guys dont seem to want to...Maybe I've taken copies of those photos..If anyone is still alive who saw him when dead...please explain what those (what looks like felt tip marks) on his forehead, are..They confuse me as they have no meaning. If anyone alive can explain..then I perhaps will break my oath to the family.To my family

Rock legend Jim Morrison may be alive and living in the Seychelles, according to his former Doors bandmate Ray Manzarek.
The Doors keyboardist admits he became suspicious after Morrison died as the enigmatic singer had discussed the possibility of faking his own death and going into hiding abroad.
In 1971, a year after the alleged discussion, Morrison was found dead in his Paris, France apartment after reportedly suffering a heart attack after a drug binge.
And the bizarre circumstances of the tragic incident have led to continued speculation about whether the iconic rocker is still alive.
Manzarek tells Britain's Daily Mail newspaper, "I often wonder if his death has been an elaborate charade. Jim was a restless soul, always looking for something else in his life, and even six years of success - and excess - with The Doors hadn't been enough for him. A year earlier, he had shown me a brochure for the Seychelles and said, 'Wouldn't this be the perfect place to escape to if everyone believed you were dead?'. At the time, I never thought anything of it."

Andreii,
I understand that.....But.......I asked you to take copies for I can see myself,If you can't tell who it is why would I beable too ,But I have studied his eyes,hands,fingers teeth,and eye brows,I would know and if I think it is him then you can have your attorneys contact the morrisons,No attorney of yours ever emailed me either?????So if these copies are in your hands email me one so I can see for myself.I want to know if it is jim or not.I am writing a book on him being alive so a picture of him dead would definately make me stop writing this book! So send em my way today! .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

Investigation Reports.
The following report is a must read for the people who seek the truth!
"Jim Morrison Ceremony"
...Exploring The Shaman Possession...
By Adriana Rubio
To begin with, Author Adriana Rubio is a Freelance Investigative Journalist and, as such, wants you to know that many of what it is reported by some media people as true facts, rarely reflect the accuracy of such affirmations. In most cases they want people watch, read and listen to what THEY want by posting or giving the news the way THEY want people to know, so we just believe anything other than what it has been told without taking into account that we have the right to ask questions!
The events that surrounded Jim Morrison death in Paris back in July 1971 are as hard to believe as he is alive in the Pacific Northwest. Additionally, Chapter 7 from the "Jim Morrison Ceremony" book is still upsetting people. There's something wrong here and that is what encouraged Journalist Adriana Rubio to search for evidence to reveal the truth once and for all whether the Oregon Cowboy is the real Jim Morrison or not.
We want to make clear that in ANY way Journalist Adriana Rubio affirms that the Oregon Cowboy as well as the claims of Gerald Pitts from rodeoswest.com are true. She just found a big puzzle full of irregularities and lies where many pieces seemed to be missed.
Posted by A FAN  on  Mon Aug 25, 2008  at  11:01 AM
However, Rubio is still trying to put the pieces together especially now when former manager of The Rock' n 'Roll Circus, Sam Bernett, came out the closet AFTER 36 YEARS saying that Jim Morrison died of a heroin overdose!
http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/jim
Even though Journalist/Author Adriana Rubio has worked on this completely alone, during the course of a three years investigation, she asked for help to some American Journalists and well known published authors who wrote about Jim Morrison. Many of these ones were very disrespectful and even one of them laughed at her over the telephone! We believe they misunderstood the course of the investigation since many of them are used to inform people the way we explained above. Whatever the reasons are for them to act that way, Journalist/Author Adriana Rubio didn't give up. She is working on what we currently call "The Jim Morrison Manual Case".
Adriana Rubio has copyrighted the whole investigation in her name since she has worked on her own with no partners, affiliates or members of any media group. Among many things done during the investigation process, Rubio interviewed a man called Gerald Pitts from rodeoswest.com for the
Posted by A FAN  on  Mon Aug 25, 2008  at  11:03 AM
"We met Gerald Pitts as mutual friends. In the course of a year we determined that he was not honest and forthright with us. He was fired effective December 31st, 1999. We have completely disassociated ourselves from Mr. Pitts and his friends and his family. We have nothing to do with Gerald Pitts!
