SHOCKING: Lisa Marie Presley Was Only Centimeters From Death by Her Own Father’s Gun!
Behind the dazzling brilliance of the “King of Rock ‘n’ Roll” lay a hidden world of firearms and erratic outbursts. The terrifying secret of a stray bullet that nearly claimed Lisa Marie’s life inside the Graceland mansion continues to send chills down the spines of fans worldwide.
A Nightmare Inside the “Paradise” of Graceland
To the public, Elvis Presley was a doting father who spared no expense to spoil his “Little Princess,” Lisa Marie. However, few knew that life inside the mega-mansion of Graceland was often like living with a ticking time bomb. Elvis possessed an extreme obsession with weapons, owning dozens of firearms and carrying them on his person even while he slept.
The horrific incident occurred in the mid-1970s. In a state of mental instability—likely fueled by prescription drug use and a sudden burst of erratic energy—Elvis drew his weapon and fired directly at an object in his bedroom just for “amusement.”
The Stray Bullet and the Deadly Gap
The deafening blast ripped through the quiet atmosphere of the home. The most terrifying part? Lisa Marie was standing directly in the trajectory of the fire.
-
A Near-Fatal Moment: The bullet slammed into the wall, tearing through the luxury wallpaper and missing Lisa Marie’s head by only a few centimeters. A fraction of an inch in the wrong direction, and music history would have been scarred by an unspeakable tragedy.
-
The “King’s” Horror: Before the smoke could even clear, Elvis snapped out of his trance-like state. He was struck with the soul-crushing realization that he had nearly killed his only child. According to witnesses, Elvis collapsed, threw the gun aside, and clutched Lisa Marie in a fit of immense guilt and agony.
A Psychological Ghost That Haunted a Lifetime
This event was more than just a close call; it was a stark testament to the chaos of Elvis’s final years. For Lisa Marie, it remained a psychological scar that never truly healed.
“I knew my father loved me, but living at Graceland was like living in a chaotic kingdom. You never knew when a gunshot would go off,” Lisa Marie once shared bitterly in an interview.
While Elvis Presley passed into legend as a musical icon, for Lisa Marie, the memory of her father included not just lullabies, but the smell of gunpowder and a moment where she almost died at the hands of the person she loved most.
