PADUCAH Kentucky - John Burroughs, an 89-year-old recluse living in a cabin deep in the Pulaski County woods, has become the center of a local mystery due to his uncanny resemblance to Elvis Presley..
“I swear it’s him,” said neighbor Darla Greenleaf.. “The hair, the sideburns, the voice – it’s like the King never left the building!”
Burroughs, who moved to the cabin in 1977, leads a quiet life, rarely venturing into town.. His enigmatic presence and Elvis-like features have fueled rumors that he is, in fact, the rock 'n' roll legend living incognito..
“When he hums ‘Love Me Tender’ while chopping wood, it’s like a private concert,” Norton added with a wink..
Burroughs dismisses the rumors with a smile and a hip shake.. “I’m just a simple man enjoying my peace and quiet,” he said, before slipping into a dazzling white jumpsuit for his evening stroll..
Whether Burroughs is the real Elvis or not, the legend continues to thrive, much to the delight of the local community...
