Thanks for clearing it up, ...
Is this Michael Jackson’s ghost?
OK, so it was late at night when I found this to post but on this day that MJ is laid to rest (did you set your alarm for 3am to watch his funeral? Me too. Oh wait, I didn’t) I thought it was worth sharing….CNN’s Larry King was filming inside Neverland when his crew accidentally filmed this:
And here is the tribute Madonna made to MJ on the first night of her European tour this week:

I’d really love to see Kerry O’Brian do this shit. Or Laurie Oakes. That would be gold.

Michael Jackson’s lawyers say he was like Anna Nicole Smith….

At what point does it become kinda sad? Oh wait. We passed that point way back yonder.
Ashley— If Google’s results are like that, then I wouldn’t be one to complain, because everybody else is trying to make MJ a saint. I do get annoyed by how much prying there is from magazines and stuff; can’t we leave him alone even after he’s dead? I dunno… mixed feelings there.
The ghost image thing creeps me out though…
I have just read my post again and I thought I better clarify – I am a believer in the spirits of loved ones being around us when they have passed however in the clip of Michael Jackson’s house, though it may be nice to think it was Michael, I too am thinking it was more likely a crew member’s shadow
My friend and I watched this. We nearly passed out…with laughter. I think it is most likely that its the shadow of a crew member. And considering he’s “the king” you’d expect he’d have more of a grander ghost than you know, a uh shadow? Although I can see why people considering the cirumstances would be alarmed.
I am a believer, having had a wonderful experience after the passing of my grandmother. After a long illness my Nonna passed away less than 24 hours after the birth of my first little girl. I am sure she held on until the next day so I wouldn’t associate my daughter’s birthday with the day she died, as my grandfather had died on my uncle’s birthday and she had always lamented that. I also believe she knew my focus would be on my new baby and not on her passing, as we were very close and it was very difficult for me. Once we came home from hospital and I would get up through the night to feed, every so often my baby would come off the breast and look to the ceiling – always the same spot, no matter which chair I sat in – and smile. I often felt that there was someone else in the room with me too, and I can’t explain that. Many doubters would say it was probably wind because a baby so young wouldn’t smile yet but when the same thing happened with my second child, in my own mind, I really felt it was Nonna looking down on us and making my babies laugh, as she would do me as a child. I have no doubt our loved ones are around us and I take comfort in that, as I hope Michael’s kids do too
I have an eerie feeling that it may have been MJ in the background after watching the filmclip. It’s believable because when my Dad passed away 10 years ago some strange things were happening in our home.
My family background is Greek and soon after my Dad’s passing, my Mum was singing these sad songs and dusting and cleaning around the house, with tears in her eyes. It was understandable because she lost her husband, her life partner of nearly 40 years. Only thing is my Dad hated anything morbid like wearing black continuously as is common in my family’s culture and singing very morbid songs to express the loss of someone close.
My children were very young at the time, my son was almost 3 and my daughter was 15 months. They had this little toy piano/organ thing where the keys were colour-coded. Now this really happened, my Mum has done her cross to swear that this happened as she got scared and walked outside.
As Mum sung and cried while she did the housework, suddenly my kids’ musical toy played by itself about three strong, loud notes and no one else was in the house. My Mum stopped in her tracks, put down the duster and went outside, terrified. Somehow she knew it was Dad, he hated that kind of morbid chanting when he heard it for others, so I am sure he would not have wanted it for himself on his own passing.
Also, he hated black clothing. If he saw me wearing more black than he thought was necessary, Dad always asked, ‘Are you attending a funeral or something?’, it always freaked him out. Ironically at his funeral the top I bought thinking it was black turned out to be a dark shade of navy blue. I was alone in my room changing back out of it when I saw the tag, and chuckled to my dad quietly, ‘I know you have something to do with this mistake Dad’.
Apart from seeing a doorknob move by itself when my ex-husband and I were alone in the house when our kids were with their grandmother, I have not seen a ghost as such. Only creepy coincidences and sensing my father’s presence, especially when I’m driving.
Personally I think God sends our loved ones in spirit to be with us so we can be comforted when we sense them near us. Some people are even lucky enough to see them before their eyes. I don’t wish to impose my view on anyone, only to express my agreement with those who feel the same way as I do about the subject.
I live in this old pub building, it is 110 years old, and apparently it is riddled with ghosts! I haven’t seen any in my time here… but I have had someone knock on my door when no one was there, I have heard someone walk up the corridor behind our rooms when the pub was empty, and I have heard the old floorboards creak as if someone was walking on them, but there was no one there… and my cats have heard it to!
Apparently there have been some other stories… staff members walking past people, and saying hello to them, and then realizing that there was no one there, seen a little girl sitting on the staircase – but it was a person there, and apparently some time back there was a family living where we are now, and their kids saw some people walking past the TV… again, no one was there.
I am usually a but cynical about these things, but, I think I am mellowing a little bit in this department… This place IS FREAKY!
I hate to admit it, but this actually really scares me!
I set my alarm early to watch the memorial.. it was something I wanted to see live and I’m glad I did. It was very respectful but such a nice celebration. Definitely tears when Paris spoke.
When I saw the reports about a ghost at Neverland, I couldn’t help but stop and think “seriously?! enough already”.. I do believe in ghosts in general, but there is such a saturation of media coverage at the moment that I can’t help but feel over it and cynical. Let him be. Probably hypocritical since I sat up to watch the memorial.
I know Michael Jackson has died, but I can’t help but think that he would have hated news crews going into his house and especially into his bedroom and such. Where is the respect?
I’m also loving the ghost stories. I don’t believe in ghosts as such (don’t not believe in them, either), but I always find the stories really interesting. Does anyone have more?
Bring on more stories everyone. Luv em!
I haven’t had a ghostly experience myself..but a friend told me she and another of her friends both saw the same old man, dressed in very old fashined clothing, standing in her family room, smoking a pipe, saying he was worried about the bushfire in the distance. They saw and heard him at different times. She lives on a couple of acres and there have been bushfires ther ein the very distant past.
A bit eerie…but really interesting
I like to believe in general but not sure about this one. Marie your story made me cry – have had similar (albeit not as vivid) experienced with my maternal grandmother. I like to think they still watch over us (well, not all the time LOL). But a beautiful story from you.
i want to hear more ghost stories! please
i find them so interesting.
Sorry, I know I’m meant to be concentrating on the ghost, but what was with all those locks???? I mean, WTF? What was the man DOING in that bedroom that required 5 locks???
Actually… you know what… on second thoughts, I don’t want to know.
hahahahahahahaha Tim!
Ahhhhh Rene … I’ve got more goosebumps!
I would assume Michael Jackson’s ghost would be paler than that. It looks too shadowy.
Before my mother died she made me promise that for the first 5 years after her death I would fly all the way back to Adelaide to tend to her grave and put her favourite flowers on it. After the 5th year I was on the plane flying back home when she suddenly spoke to me and told me that she knew I was stubborn and would keep visiting her grave but she had only asked for 5 years and she would make sure that I didn’t do it again. I turned and she was sitting next to me in the seat vacated only a few minutes before as the passenger went to the loo. She smiled at me so tenderly and then she was gone.
I was (stubbornly) preparing for my next visit on the year 6 anniversary when in the middle of the night before my son called to say my first grandchild had been born 5 min ago, 2:21am. It was the anniversary of mums passing and exactly one minute before her death, she passed at 2:22am.
The baby was 2 weeks early. I know mum did this to force me to move on and stop me revisiting her grave each year as I would be celebrating my grandsons birthday with him instead.
It easy to pass these things off, I used to, but when you experience something so profound it is very calming and special not to mention very real.
Who’s to know whether it is him or not. But as Meg said ‘we shouldn’t be so quick to fob it off’. My grandparents lived in a big old farm house in which my parents now live today. We visited every holidays, all our cousins would come and stay as well. All of us have had ghostly experiences there not only on our own but together. I’ll share some from the past and present.
My cousin and I were sharing a room, we’d gone to bed and we were chatting away with the lights off when a young old-fashioned looking girl dressed in black with a half mangled face appeared in the corner of the room. We said to each other do you see what I see and she said yes. Terrified my cousin scrambled to find the light switch but couldn’t find it on the wall. Eventually the girl disappeared and my cousin found the light switch and turned the light on. Horrified on what had just happened we woke everyone in the house to tell them. The weird thing a week or so later my Dad fell out of a tree he was cutting and saw the same girl as he was falling. He broke his toe, rib and grazed one side of his face. Was it a warning? Who knows but we never saw that girl again.
My sister stayed with my grandparents for a period of time when she left school as she loved the farm life. One night she was driving up the very long driveway. Finally reaching the house she turned to get out and a man and his German Shepherd dog was standing at her car door. She said, ‘hello can I help you?’ the man said nothing then disappeared in front of her eyes. She freaked started the car went back down to the end of the driveway and waited for my other sister to get back.
Today the old farmhouse has been renovated and on a recent visit my sister and I still get the chills. On this occasion we finished watching Australia, turned everything off and headed off to bed. Next thing I hear the downstairs clock radio going off really loudly. I have bolted to my sisters room and said, ‘can you hear that?’ The clock radio has gone off by itself. She’s just stared at me horrified, I said, ‘we’ve got to go down and turn it off’. So off we went turning on every light possible. We get to the radio and tried turning it off and even unplugged it (not battery operated) and it was still blaring. My sister ended up putting it outside in the bin still blaring. Next day clock radio was back in it’s position and plugged in. We asked everyone if they had got it out of the bin and they said no we haven’t even been outside yet.
I have done research on this house and haven’t been able to find much to my disappointment. So my search still goes on and hopefully I will be able to find out more about the history and who lived there.
Yes, set my alarm and watched the memorial, it was moving, I cried some tears and lost it when little Paris spoke through tears for her daddy, so sad. I have had some strange ghost like apparitions appear in photos before and have since found out it has to do with dust/lighting/particles picked up by the lens.
It kinda pisses me off that Google’s ads they put on those videos were for Sex Offender stuff. You’d think that, for the moment being at least, they’d change up what topics they have associated with his name.
I don’t want to offend anyone who believes in ghosts but I have never been able to believe in any of that stuff. Im the sort of person who has to see it myself.
Ohhhhhh I have goosebumps from the footage.
BUT I am not sure where i stand on the ghost thing.
Meg – I hear stories like that and think they must be real? But I don’t think I want to believe in ghosts – I get too scared
Memorial was heartfelt, respectful and tasteful.
The memorial was beautiful, alot of love and respect for a very talented artist. I found his children very normal and clearly heartbroken.
The ‘ghostly’ figure could of course be a TV set up, but we hear to many stories about experiences such as these that we shouldn’t be to quick to fob it off. My father wandered around my house for the three days after he died until he was cremated, and I wasn’t the only one who saw him.
Well my Irish side says yes it could be MJ’s ghost but my Dutch side says no way!
Surely this is someone having a lend of us? And is there are weird glimpse of an MJ looking person behind the newsreader at the house at the beginning?
Wasn’t the memorial beautiful? Nice to see Prince Michael the second with his natural hair colour too.
