A mysterious voice is heard saying "Turn left" just before the camera pans back to Larry and Priscilla.
Some are convinced that it was Elvis himself speaking, despite him dying decades earlier.
The fan who uploaded the clip to YouTube captioned it: "Elvis Presley says, 'turn left!' Is true!
"Elvis is still alive and on Earth with us!"
The video was shared on a Facebook page called Evidence Elvis Presley is Alive, with believers saying the "southern drawl" of the mysterious off-camera speaker proves it is Elvis talking.
Elvis' ex-girlfriend Linda Thompson, who went on to marry Caitlyn Jenner - then Bruce, wrote extensively about their relationship in her autobiography A Little Thing Called Life.
Linda, now 69, was just 22 when she met Elvis, who was 15 years her senior and a longtime object of her affection.
She even described in her book how she cried as she lost her virginity to him.
Linda said that despite him being used to getting whatever he wanted because he was famous, he vowed not to put pressure on her to have sex before she was ready.
He was a man of his word, or as Linda would say, a true Southern gentleman.
After two months of living together and sharing a bed every night, Linda says she was finally ready to go all the way with Elvis.

thedailymirror--2020-01-19--Shkodran Mustafi explains how Mikel Arteta's approach has improved Arsenal

Shkodran Mustafi has become the latest Arsenal star to praise Mikel Arteta for the organisation lacking under Unai Emery .
The north Londoners were held at home by Sheffield United and have lost just one in seven since Arteta replaced Emery in December .
Mustafi has claimed the squad is performing better because of a clear tactical plan from their new boss and his ability to get the best out of playmaker Mesut Ozil .
The centre-back said : “ It is not tennis when everyone can do whatever they want .
“ Just because you have 11 or 18 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is going to work .
“ It was important to get someone in like Mikel that knows exactly what he wants from each player in each position .
“ This is the way we can perform only when someone like him comes in and tells us exactly what he wants and stick to the plan – it makes everything a lot easier .
“ For me , Mesut has always been the same .
The change that we had with the boss helped him a lot as it helped a lot of other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ performing well , it is easier when everyone knows how we want to play and knows his job .
“ You can focus on your job and you don ’ t have to care about a lot of other things .
You can focus on yourself .
“ For him , now , because we want to play attacking football , it suits him .
“ He enjoys himself and when he is playing like he has in the last few games it helps the team.
” Arteta believes each week is getting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were denied a clear penalty which would have put them two-up against Sheffield United .
But the Gunners boss says his side are up for the challenges ahead .

`` But we are up for it whatever @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our best every time we get on that pitch and we did that today .

Arsenal have produced better form under their new manager having lost just once since Emery's departure,which Mustafi feels is a result of Arteta's simple demands

In October 2019 the ban was lifted, and the FCO updated its Egypt travel advice explaining that they "no longer advise against all but essential travel by air to/from Sharm el Sheikh".
It says that an estimated 415,000 British nationals visited Egypt in 2018, with most visits being trouble free.
However, the authority still warns Brits that 'terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks in Egypt'.

easyJet isn't the only travel firm to be resuming services to Sharm el Sheikh.
For example, TUI has brought back Sharm el Sheikh packages for holidays from February 2020, while Red Sea Holidays brought back holidays from December 2019.
A number of UK firms have also said they are considering their options now that the destination has re-opened to British tourists.
Sharm el Sheikh isn't the only Egyptian destination where easyJet offers flights from the UK.
The airline also has flights to Hurghada. In fact, the company revealed that it will be extending its winter flights to Hurghada to operate year-round, from Manchester Airport three times a week, with the first flight set to depart on the 1st June.
