Elvis’ Friend Revealed How The King’s Spirit Visited Him One Night Live On Stage In Las Vegas
Wayne Newton stands on stage in Las Vegas, preparing to perform a medley of Elvis Presley songs. At this point, The King’s passing is still very raw. But as the performer starts to sing, the atmosphere in the room becomes unquestionably eerie. For one, the lights suddenly stop working, plunging everything into darkness. Then, as Newton looks up, Elvis’ iconic outline catches his eye. It’s a moment that’ll stay with him for decades.
Yep, even today, Newton believes Elvis’ spirit lives on. At first, you can see why that’d be a comforting idea for fans of the King of Rock ’n Roll. But there are plenty who think that Elvis’ untimely death means he left unfinished business on Earth. Thankfully, celebrity medium Kim Russo has shed more light on the forces that may be at play here.
Russo hosts the show The Haunting Of, where she attempts to connect well-known people with the ghosts of their past. When the series premiered in 2012, she firmly told People magazine, “I don’t dial the dead. It’s whoever shows up.” And that concept of “whoever” may well send a little shiver down your spine.
In the episode where Newton reveals all the goosebump-giving details of his supernatural encounter, he meets Russo outside the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino. The building dates back to the 1960s, and it was previously known as the International Hotel and then the Las Vegas Hilton. It was the last place Elvis ever performed. And according to Russo, a powerful and frightening energy can be felt both inside and out.
Looking up with trepidation at the towering hotel, Russo told viewers, “Anything could have happened here – anything. I really have my work cut out for me today.” And what she could sense was obviously very dark, as she added, “I hope Wayne gets here soon because I just can’t take another minute of how I’m feeling.”
