Psychic Geller says Elvis told him not to worry about house bid

MEMPHIS, Tenn (AP) - Uri Geller said he got a sign from Elvis Presley, and the message was loud and clear: "Don't worry, you'll have my house."


The psychic, who had the winning bid of $905,100 US for a house Presley lived in as his career was taking off, said he was travelling to London in the closing moments of the EBay auction Sunday when the radio began playing, Love Me Tender.
He told The Commercial Appeal newspaper that he knew then that it was a done deal.

Presley bought the four-bedroom house at 1034 Audubon Drive in 1956 with his early song royalties. The singer, his parents and grandmother lived there for 13 months before moving to a two-storey colonial house already known as Graceland, the house that Elvis would make famous.

Geller, who lives outside London, is buying the house with two partners: Peter Gleason, a New York lawyer and retired firefighter, and Lisbeth Silvandersson, a jewelry maker in England.

They plan to restore it to its 1956 splendour and bring sick children from Palestine, Israel and America to see it. He hopes for permission to make it a museum.

Geller said he met Presley in the 1970s and "freaked him out" with his spoon bending. Geller became a celebrity in the '70s for his alleged power to bend spoons and other objects with his mind.

Current owners Cindy Hazen and Mike Freeman bought the home in 1998 for $180,000 US. The couple, who have co-authored two books about Presley, said the house is far more historically significant than Graceland.

A month after the singer moved in, Heartbreak Hotel hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts, ultimately ending any privacy he had in the neighbourhood. Fans lined the neighbourhood streets and police frequently had to be called in.

A Life magazine article from August 1956 had pictures of teenage girls sitting with their ears pressed to his bedroom wall and picking through the grass in his yard for souvenirs. The commotion became so intense that Elvis moved his bedroom to the back of the house.

While Presley lived in the home, he appeared on Ed Sullivan's TV show, starred in Love Me Tender, bought his pink Cadillac and posed in his gold lame suit.

Hazen and Freeman have partly restored it and uncovered the wallpaper printed with musical notes and instruments Presley added in the hall.

The porch the singer converted into a game room and where he rehearsed and recorded remains as it was, with star-shaped lighting fixtures and trophy cases. Outside is a swimming pool, at the time the biggest residential pool in the city.

"The house is like an archaeological dig," Hazen said.

YEAH WELL...ive studied this too. ...and EVERYONE has powers to move objects but we are not evolved enough to use the full capacity of our brain. ...our total brain is not totally used ...only like 10% (not sure of %) (but low)...you can not think an object to move. ...but yes (it rarely happens) sometimes if your brain completely has no thought or thoughts whatsoever ...nothing not even a thought of the color black. ...kinda like if you are unconscience to the point of thinking only..and it is documented that ..that has happened but only lasts maybe 1 second. and objects have moved. ....ill try to find the book on it ...its something you cant control as a human w/ only 10% brain usage ...

well i hope restorations and maintaining the integrity of the familys home is his top priority......will see eventually over time.

YEAH right.

here he is, bending a spoon... lol
