Macca: Linda gave me a sign after she died by returning as a white squirrel
SIR Paul McCartney has revealed how his late wife Linda ‘came back’ to him as a white squirrel in the countryside.
Speaking of his grief after her death in 1998, the Beatles star, 76, said: ‘When you are grieving like that, you see little things, and you know you’re reading into it, but you don’t mind. You allow yourself to read into it.’
He told The Sunday Times: ‘I was in the country once and I saw a white squirrel. So this was Linda, come back to give me a sign. It was a great moment.
‘It thrilled me… I have no proof it was her at all, but it was good for me to think that.’
Sir Paul also told the newspaper how he ‘saw God’ while he was using DMT, a naturally occurring hallucinogenic drug. After taking it, ‘I saw God, this amazing towering thing, and I was humbled’, he said.
The singer added: ‘That moment didn’t turn my life around, but it was a clue. It was huge. A massive wall that I couldn’t see the top of and I was at the bottom.
‘And anybody else would say it’s just the drug, the hallucination, but [a friend] and I were like, “Did you see that?” We felt we had seen a higher thing.’
Sir Paul, who is preparing to release a new album, admitted to once trying heroin and regularly using cocaine in the Beatles’ heyday.
