I became aware of that entrance on September 30, 1977 when I visited Graceland, shortly after Elvis' death. My mother, brother and I actually met Billy Smith that day. He came down that entrance on his golf cart and chatted with us. He was so very friendly and nice. I have pictures of him on his golf cart and with my mom. You can see over his shoulder that entrance. We were fortunate to have met Vester Presley and he was so gracious and allowed us pictures with him and gave us his autograph. I took a picture of the Graceland Christian Church sign that day too. My brother walked along side of the white fence and took pictures of the backyard. He took pictures in a sequence and we put them together to make a panoramic view and they turned out great. Remember, that was back in the day when you had to have film developed. I took pictures of Charlie Hodge stopping at the gate to enter Graceland as he chatted with Vester Presley. We signed the rock wall and photographed that and our day was complete. How exciting! We visited the mausoleum at Forest Hill Cemetary on October 1, 1977 but learned that Elvis and Glady's bodies were being moved the next day. It was a whirl wind trip to Tupelo, Memphis then on to Nashville, Tn. A trip I will never forget!
Wow you were there on a very eventful weekend for sure.. Had to be a banner day.. Did you get any pics at the mausoleum?
@@SpaGuy Yes, I have pics of the mausoleum from the outside. Entrance roped off with floral cross arrangement at top of stairs. I have my pic beside the arrangement. There probably were no more than a dozen people there. That was my only visit to Memphis. Would love to visit Graceland but it would be a solo trip and I have heard bad things about Memphis area so guess that won't happen. I was fortunate to see Elvis in concert 6 times. The last concert was in Macon, Ga on June 1, 1977, shortly before his passing. Thanks for all your videos as I really enjoy them!
OH SPY, OH SPY GUY... DO YOU HAVE A JOB THERE TOOO🦚
Great video Billy! Really like the secret entrance! Thanks Billy
Thanks to you, Spa Guy, our trip to Graceland was amazing! We stood at the side-gate entrance looking in, when all of a sudden, it opened.... I thought it was a gift from God. While debating if we could walk through, a grounds keeper went by on his golfcart laughing, then the gate closed. It was magical for a moment! Thank you Spa Guy!!
Nice job documenting and researching this as always, Billy. I was lucky enough to be able to go down that driveway on the side of the EPE offices and through a security gate back in 2006. I won't mention the person's name, but I was a personal guest of a personal friend of Elvis. This individual drove, went through security and delivered something personal to the employees during Elvis week. Again, I don't want to share their information in this forum, but I will be glad to tell you privately Billy, if you are interested.
Then, during the candlelight vigil, I spent the night on that very hill that you were standing on. Because of being a private guest of that same individual, my wife and I were granted access to that hill for vigil night. We had camp chairs and blankets. There was an inflatable movie screen set up and we were able to watch Elvis concert performances all night while taking turns doing shifts as honor guard. It was a very special time that I will treasure forever.

The 'Best Elvis Archaeologist' on this planet. Thank you for taking the time Spa Guy Billy.
I appreciate you encouragement!!
I've never been the same since we lost elvis in 1977. A piece of me went with him. The world is a little bit worse off within Elvis. Everything seemed well when we had Elvis. Still have to remind myself that Elvis is no longer with us. Seemed like I knew him personally.
Well Billy you keep bringing great stuff to us . Thanks again.
Have to admit it our first time to Graceland as my Dad talked to Uncle Vester he told me about the gate back there ELVIS had just passed so you couldn't go on the grounds yet funny thing was I climbed the wall to look at Graceland as I'm sitting there two little dogs come barking running my way next thing I hear was a lady yelling at me later I found out it was Aunt Delta oh the funniest part was yet to come I jump down off the wall and think a brick I'll take a brick off the wall for a souvenir great idea until I came around the corner and my Dad and Uncle Vester were still talking my Dad looked like he wanted to kill me but Uncle Vester kind of laughed it off hey I was a 14 year old kid and I'm a Graceland so I was super excited. Peace and GOD Bless You ALL from Saginaw Michigan Dontoons
Gracias por compartir conocer videos fotos de ELVIS PRESLEY FOREVER GRACIAS 2024 5 2 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
you are the best with elvis's documentary history 🙌🏻
I agree. No one else even compares
Great video, really interesting to see the aerial phots over time, what is striking is how out in the countryside Graceland looked when Elvis bought it and how built up it became over the years. I wonder how Elvis would have liked or disliked the fact that it was no longer out in the countryside, did it loose any of its sanctuary or remote appeal over the years he lived there or had he lived on after 77 how might he have felt about it.
Great Question.. I think by the end of his life he was really enjoying Palm Springs because was more of a sanctuary than Graceland.
It’s too bad he didn’t buy any other acreage that was available.
Yes, I often thought this too, he could have created a Circle G at Graceland had they purchased the additional lands around. I often think Elvis had no real time to stop and think, as he worked solidly, maybe like many of us do as we get older we get time and opportunity to engage with our passions. I think with Elvis we will always be "what if" and sadly we can never know. Thanks for the reply @@dktk540
@SpaGuy if you get an opportunity then please do a video on his various filming locations.
Thank you so much for these videos! Greetings from Uruguay.
This is so cool Billy! Love the back History of how things were in Elvis's life especially GRACELAND! Thank you for this
Great video, I finally understand the back entrance layout. My first visit to Graceland was in 1988. I have pictures of me standing by Elvis’s cars and snowmobile. Aunt Delta was cooking in the kitchen when I went through the house.
It was very different back then as you know.. A lot more personal..
@@SpaGuy Yes, we just kinda did our own thing, I hung out out back checking out all of the vehicles. I got a picture by the pink Cadillac under the carport. I haven’t visited Graceland since 2009, I heard the crime rate has worsened.
This was awesome!
Thank you for sharing!!
Great info Billy. Somewhere between that convenience store and the shopping area, I was sitting in my car one day in 1975 outside a Barbeque restaurant just watching the activity at Graceland. In a few minutes the black limo rolled in from the South toward the gate and it slowed quickly as Elvis stared me down. I was sitting in my black 1969 Pontiac Grand Prix. Years later I learned that he really liked the Pontiac Grand Prix and the Stutz Blackhawks were built on the Grand Prix chassis.
I never knew there was a second entrence into Graceland. Really cool to see the different time periods in the areial photos. Thank You, Spa Guy !!
Love watching all your videos. Been a fan since I was in my late teens. Still in high school. I am now 71. I named my daughter Lisa Marie. I have so many movies. CDs. Cassetes. I miss him. Will keep getting your notifications. Keep up the great work
When I stayed at the Graceland hotel back in October, I wondered what was behind that fence. Now I know. Thanks as always for your fantastic and informative videos!
Thanks for watching!
Very cool Billy!
Great video, loved to see how much it changed over the years. Was always intrigued by the secret side entrance, and what’s hidden in the back. Thanks Spa guy, you always put out great stuff for us to watch ! ❤
Excellent detailed information on the history of Elvis property. Much better quality than a lot of other TH-cam channels that have a lot of Elvis content. Your channel isn’t fixated on one particular object with questionable backstory’s to it great video.
Wow, thank you! I really appreciate the encouragement..
I can remember in the mid 70's when i visited Graceland and the church being there. Plus the apartments and the car dealership down the street. Just wish i had pictures from back then. Your video takes me back in time. Especially visiting Libery Land.
Great video Billy - love these comparisons - thanks for sharing 💛💙
Thats was nice to look back from photo to photo. How much its changed... hadnt seen that Last picture before. Thanks Spaguy 👍 🙏
Thanks Spa Guy. Would love to go back in time and see Graceland as Elvis did that first time.
Very interesting Detective 🕵️♀️! Thanks 🙏
Seriously fascinating! You are a tireless researcher Spa Guy!
Absolutely Terrific! Wonderful perspectives and layouts throughout the years with your asssitance in understanding what is what in every overhead view....I have been waiting for something like this and you DELIVERED!!!! AS ALWAYS! Thank You! TCB!!!
Thanks Billy, good job. My 1st visit to Graceland was in 88.
Great video! When you were up on the hill at night and said you were sure there was stuff thrown up there by Elvis and the guys, I was positive you were going to find a fast food cup which you would have been able to gift to the Elvis Beverage Guy.
LOL!!!!
Thank you for showing this shows this from the very beginning and in the future.
I love this kind of stuff. You do a remarkable job we appreciate you so much.
God bless you and your family
Cool 😎 ! Thank you Mr. Spa Guy. Keep tightening up. God's speed to you and your family... those precious grandbabies.
Very cool. Didn’t know all this. Thanks for the great research and information again sir! Always enjoy your videos
Good video as always spa guy . To see G-L before a lot of the construction has started nice .✔️ . From 🌞
Thanks Spa Guy. Man you are really good. Man I really like when you do this kind of things about Graceland. Makes it so real. Thanks again. Hope you have a wonderful day.
Wow, this is a great production. Lots of work went into this.
Another great video with awesome research!! Keep them coming! 😊
Wow awesome!👏👏👏👏👏⚡😎👍
Interesante Información
Muchas gracias
Love the way you investigate!!! You do the things I only think about doing!!! Love the SpaGuy ❤❤❤
Thanks so much!
Great video Billy as always 👍!
Well done Billy!...very interesting!
Hi Billy what a great video and so much research and detail 👍
I drove through that gate back in November when I went up to visit an old friend
Nice video. Good information and feels like the old spy guy at work....😊👍
Great video. Thank you
Loved it loved it loved it! After looking at all the old aerials - Elvis should have tightened up and bought most, if not all, the property around Graceland. The 1956 photos looks like he's out in the country. So sickening to see how quickly the city encroached upon his privacy. No one around in the early days. Now - Graceland has hardly any property at all. Just amazing to see then and now. Lessons to be learned I guess if you're blessed with money and want to find that perfect getaway.
way kool billy!.....thank you from BILLY in tacoma washington....
By golly you do your research. lol. Love it. Thanks for all of those pics and satellite images. That was awesome.
I went to Graceland when the old gas station was across the street. You could buy Elvis memorabilia there, that's where you also bought tickets to Graceland
😮 WOW, thanks spy guy !! did not know that 👍🏼 U just gave me something 2 check out on next visit 🙂
Very good video. Thanks Spa guys❤
Interesting and fun to watch!! Thanks Spy Guy! Safe travels!
Great
Very nice
Love your videos!
Great job brother! Love your videos. God bless 🙏🏽
Thanks for watching
Well done as always, friend, as I know it takes quite an investment of time, but I hope you love it as much as we all do! From various pictures, and yours included, it seems like a small little village in the area of the side gate. As if memory serves me, I believe I once saw a light blue Cape Cod style home back there, as well as several concrete type structures where I had thought the guys might stay. Photos of that area seem very hard to come by. Any idea as to those brick structures & other things, while a great pic of Billy and Joe's place, as well as Tish's.
P.S. I was just thinking, too, but the attraction of Elvis always amazes me. As we're about the same age and I, too, was crawling through the trees in the late 80s. lol
Yep not sure why I an drawn to the story but I am.. The Blue Cape Cod is the doublewide trailer.. It was Blue in 1988 when I saw it..
Great Work!
That was a great video Spa Guy, thank you ❤ wow so much has changed over the years, incredible. Just 11 years after the passing of Elvis and you were already at the scene. I wonder if you have any photo's of the trailers and how many were there. Must have been an interesting site to see.
There were 3 trailers back there the doublewide you see and 2 single sides.. One of the single wides was move to the right of Vernon's office and it the place the employees go to for work at the mansion..
You are amazing! I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this video. Thank you for all your work!
Thank you Billy for your story from Sydney Australia 🇭🇲
Great video again Billy , thanx a million xx
That was a good video, very interesting!

Spa Guy interesting secret entrance.
We have visited Graceland many times, my husband and I were wondering if Graceland had any other entrance perhaps a secret one? Voila! You come with the facts.
Thank You we enjoyed watching this video.
Arrivederci!
ThanQ Billy ❤ Next Year in mai then i'll go to Graceland finaly 🙏🎉🕺💃🏼🌈🌟💞🙋🏼♀️
Thank you see this 2024
I still around! I appreciate all your Elvis stories. You did a good job showing his connections to Texas. Thank you
On the Graceland Christian Church webpage their history section says that they remained at the location next to Graceland from October 1956 to 1989 when EPE purchased the land to expand their facilities. They moved their church to Stateline Road East in Southhaven, Mississippi. Their write up mentions Grace Toof, Mrs. Moore and Elvis in the history.
So it was 1989.. I remember in the 90's it still having the sign out..
I went to school in Mississippi during the 1970’s.A history teacher of mine claimed that her friend lived in one of the houses that was on the back side of the property and said that Elvis would knock on her door.He would go through her house and call someone then go out the back door and jump the fence and have someone to pick him up and drive to his house.We were skeptical that it was true.
I would say that if he did do that there would be pictures of it as the fans could be fooled a time or two but not constantly and they were always around..
I think I’ve been driven that way once, around 13 years ago. Hard to say exactly where I was. I was taken with some others, possibly by golf cart, around the left side of the house and up a back way. From what I could tell, it looked like there was more to the house area than they show you on the tour. And I was taken to some building back there where there was kind of a security office. That’s all I remember. But interesting stuff.
It's there. Or it used to be. I lived in Memphis on Winchester and rode my bike to the big white fence and kept going until someone stopped me and told me I was not allowed to be there. This was in the 70's. There were horses there too. 1971 to be precise.
My wife,daughter and myself was at Graceland in 1988.
Ive seen pictures where Elvis is at the gate when the wall etc was being built. In the picture you can see across the street and there is nothing but an old house. Graceland was at that time in the country on an two lane country road.
You can almost see Elvis cruising on his motorbikes 😊
There was a few trailers in that area but no pictures of them me and my mom came in many times that way in the time they was moving stuff out of there trailers
I remember when i visited back in 2009 i was shocked how low the front rock wall is. I was thinking people must jump it all the time
So that’s where the chapel is. I had wondered
You should do a video on Elvis possibly being Melugeon
I don't believe he is.. The Indian stuff is not true..
I have to check my photos I was at Graceland in 1988 and have a picture of the same sign out front with the one A on it if that’s so I have to check that out I also signed the wall a little to the left of that sign I took photos of the whole outside and out front of the main house and back where the horses were at the time of my visit cool to know this stuff I hope to get back there to show my wife it. I should of bought photos I seen on eBay the photos were at the back of Graceland someone took photos over the wall there was a swing set back in the late 70s I guess it was Lisa’s swing set the photos were rare snapshots I hesitated to buy them they were cheap and when I went back for them they were gone but they were nice shots of the back of Graceland I never seen before the person who took the photos said they had to climb the wall quick to take them
The Swing set is still there in front o f Vernon's office.. And you are correct the historic marked had Aron with one A no doubt..
@@SpaGuy yes and from your video it had 2 double As and when you said 1988 that’s when I was there in June and took a picture of it now I have to get the photos out to see. Plus I liked your video awhile back you finding the rescue that carried Elvis to the hospital in 77 that was amazing. But yes the swing set someone was selling pictures of that on eBay I was going to buy them for my Elvis collection I’m a big collector of Elvis stuff. It’s cool to see the things you find on Elvis
You already posted this video several years ago. Why no new videos about Graceland?. Thanks for showing Billy's double wide I've always wondered what it looked like.
I am going back and updating every video from the early days when I had 15,000 subs.. Now I have 100,000 and most have never seen the original videos. I am also updating them with new information I have and making sure what I said then is correct.. I know a lot more now than I did then so I am making sure they are up to date!!
C'est pour cela Elvis est mort jeune.
Les gens n'ont vraiment aucun respect pour la vie privée.
Le pauvre!
Elvis étouffait d'être toujours épier surveiller.
C' est vraiment malsain.😢😢✝️✝️🙏
Cela fait partie du fait d'être célèbre. Vous vivez une vie de roi mais vous perdez quelques libertés.
❤
The road that is behind the Graceland guest house, was it put there when they built that hotel for easy access to the building where they keep the special items? I notice that it closely joins the area where the other entrance use to be, or where the wedding chapel might be now.
Yes that road was added when they built the Guest House for access to the Wedding Chapel..
@@SpaGuy Awesome. Thank you for the info, and keep on making the great videos. 💯
I was wandering where that white building was is that the one lisa always went to thanks billy another great fact
Not sure which building you are talking about? The Horse Barn?
And there was a walk in gate for Vernon at his house at barn
Yes that gate is gone now.. I would not consider that an entrance since it was only for Vernons house..
That car that was red / burgundy was the smith car so it was a Lincoln mark or something like that it was got the same time my moms blue car was paid for pats son or pat got so that was there when i was there so if you said that was 88 so ? Love to know date of this and same on them
Hi Billy, thank you for all the great stories! Btw, are you offering Elvis related tours in Memphis? I will be in Memphis around March 19th. This would be awesome!!
Not offering tours at this time.. we normally only do them in January and August Elvis weeks..
@@SpaGuy oh thats too bad. Then I'll book a tour at Graceland. And I hope to have time to visit your new Karate Museum:) All the best from Switzerland to you Billy and thank you for all those great great stories!
@@nicolaswitschi1730Is the Dojo open now?
@@SpaGuy
Hi I have a ? There's a recent video on Elvis dad's house being closed up looking really bad what's going to happen to Elvis dad's house are they really going to trash the house remove from the property can you please do a update video on what's going on with Elvis dad's house thank you very much appreciated please 😀😀😀
@@Eio7 oh no, I didn't know it is closed...
I'm just curious more investigation for you. See if it's a deeded easement access. Check the register of deeds. It would be interesting to know.
I'm sure it's all together now but it would be in the registered of deeds if there was an easement. It would still be there.
Sorry for the theft of your camera and yes it does good what the price tag on one of those cameras it a shame what the world is coming to
If only you could metal detect those woods.
Billy, did you get the message I sent you re: the 16 Elvis Movies I found? If not, where can I send a pic of them?
I didn't billy@thesgnetwork.com
