Like everyone else in the world, as soon as I found out that Michael Jackson had passed away, I knew the ensuing weeks would be a circus. Speculation about everything from the late singer's estate to the late singer's face would run rampant, leading people to wonder such crazy things as, What would happen to his kids? To his chimp? To his nose?
But I was not prepared to address the question that some are currently posing: Is Michael Jackson's ghost haunting Neverland? Those who support said theory would point you to Exhibit A) a shadow that's seen walking across a room at the end of the hallway during Larry King's interview with Jermaine Jackson (see embedded video below). I'm not quite a believer in things that go bump in the night, so I'm going to guess that the image was simply a cameraman's shadow. After all, if it were Michael, wouldn't he be moonwalking across the room? And emitting some sort of falsetto ghost wail?
Do you believe, PopWatchers? Is Neverland just creepy enough to warrant a spook?

LOL, I totally believe in ghosts. But I’m also rational enough to believe there’s probably an earthly explanation.
If you look at this video closely and in slow motion, there is absolutely NO OTHER explanation other than it must be the ghost of Michael Jackson. This makes perfect sense. If you notice the way the apparition moves along that far way, it is just the way Michael used to walk. It would make sense that Michael’s spirit would want to settle there at Neverland, no? The ghost in this video seems so comfortable there, knows its way around, etc. I can only hope that whoever takes over that place treats the ghost with the respect it deserves. Ghosts are friendly most times, and if they become unfriendly, all you have to do is ask them to leave the room and they must do so. I think it’s wonderful that they’ve captured this raw footage of MJ’s ghost. The world entire should view it, and reflect on it. It is a message, a sign, a wish for a better future. It’s not a shadow, I’ll tell you that. There’s no way it’s a shadow.
LOL you got ALL that from 5 seconds of footage?? are you serious? do you have a life madame ghost expert?
if that was MJ his ghost would have moon walked by.
HAHAHAHAHA you really think its a ghost. get off the pills
I’m sorry to burst anyone’s bubble but, that looked more like someone’s reflection coming into the room from outside that room’s window.
I can’t wait for the “Ghost Adventures: Neverland Ranch” episode where the dude w/ the hair (I don’t know their names) starts taunting Michael Jackson “If you don’t like me, come here and moonwalk across my foot!”
If anyone would refuse to leave earth and haunt their home it would totally be MJ!! Hahaha. I believe.
Ghosthunters episode forthcoming, I hope.
yep, sure, ghosthunters, a scientific ghost disproving team is gonna go to neverland ranch to prove his ghost is there. yep, sure.
Rationality and ghosts don’t co-exist.
Really? This couldn’t just be a crew member walking behind the camera, casting a shadow down the hall? People want to believe whatever they want to believe.
chris u do not know a thing and if u dont believe it why did u watch derdader duh
Was the above post written by Michael Jackson’s chimpanzee? If you don’t possess even rudimentary language and spelling skills, you shouldn’t publicly embarass yourself by posting online.
Oh, please. I will say that I do not believe in ghosts one bit but this is just plain ridiculous. As if Larry and Jermaine were the only people in that house during the interview. I’m sure there were no less than 20 people (production staff, cameramen, etc) milling around that house, if not more. People need to get a little common sense about this.
how would u know u werent there?
i was and that was me.

It’s a shame that there are so many cynics on EW.com. Why can’t you all just let us believe, er, know, that MJ has returned to his favorite place on Earth as his final resting place? Like I said in my previous post, there is absolutely no other explanation other than this must be his ghost. I heard from a source within the compound that that room we saw the ghost in was OFF LIMITS to all television crew people, etc. Can’t we just let this man rest in peace? Seriously. Also, for all you cynics, I’d like to see the proof that DISCREDITS the claim that this is MJ’s ghost. There isn’t any! So that proves it.
I can’t prove you’re not an asshat, therefore you must be?
Lack of evidence does not support a claim – the fact that there is no proof against this being MJs ghost says nothing. Show evidence – pure, empirical evidence – that this IS MJs ghost, or its false.
As for the asshat comment – read your own posts. It provides all the proof I need.
eric, i like you. swandress stop being a complete asshat.
Asshat…that’s good. I like that. Thank you, Eric.
HA! that made me laugh out loud! Now I’ll be seeing crazy moon walking ghosts everywhere, I’ll let you know if any of them start emitting falsetto ghost wails!
there is a perfectly logical explanation. that was MJs ghost. you cant prove that its not. And no one else walks like that. this makes perfect sense. part of Mjs enegy is in my house, i feel it. you believe what u want to believe, but i truly believe that that was Michael
i belive that it was michael jackson and u can try proven me wrong u wont win it was him and ghost are real rip michael i love u wit all my heart <3
is it realy micheal jackson
yea i don’t know about you but seriously, let him rest in peace he deserved. cuz honestly and no offense, half of yall actin’ really… how i’m gonna say this? realistic. you got to admit that was some serous crap over there and sure enough it could be him. how else anyone be that tall and lean with the hat…
Bjork’sSwanDress – you’re an asshat
This is a shadow of a person walking either outside of a window or inside the room where we cannot see to the left.
I watched the video of the tour and saw the room in question. Those windows would not be able to cast that kind of shadow. Look on you tube for neverland ranch tour
you’ll see why
very good point most of the time u dont see a shandow when it’s light outside from a window rip i love u michael jackson
lol, I just found some guy on eBay selling soil from the spot where Michael died…this is too good!

Haha you have to see it. It contains MJ’s ghost!
That is crazy!! There is no way it’s his ghost. He isn’t dead. You guys are falling for the classic Jackson tricks. If you read his wikipedia history you will see that almost all of the “strange” things he was accused of he actually leaked out himself. This was a brilliant plan. It increased public interest. So a few months ago he said he is have “a come back”. And now he is dead? Kinda fishy. HE FAKED HIS DEATH!! He did for real, what people have joked Elvis did. Then he will come back in a year or two and be more popular than ever.
I so totally agree. From the moment we saw the news about MJ’s death…I have been telling everyone. He needed to do this. He hadn’t been in the news for what like 4-6 years, it was about time for something else. Why not really go a bit over the top. I couldn’t agreed more with you Fred!
Shadows point of origin seems to be from two sources of light behind the walls, making it look like a shadow passes in front of a doorway with nothing creating it. Either that or they caught a ghost on film.
Since when can a shadow reflect itself through walls? It’s walking and is reflected on the wall and the floor through a wall from the outside???
i wish… if ANYONE can figure out a way to break thru the ozone and walk around after death its Michael! he was an innovator and creative=he mgith break thru… i wish he would….
as for azll the MJ haters-no one forces you to read or listen= and he was not
EVEr EVEr proven to hacve hurt a child both kids recantewd their stories and one of the famliies was caughyt on tape gloatingover how much money they werew gonna make off Michael=Michael was terriblu malihned missundertsood takne adavantage of by everyhobe who could make a buck off of him-hounded by the media and had no peace on this earth= he couldnt even get a good night’s sleep-listen to the song “Childhood” =thren maybe you will understand
No. If you know Michael Jackson’s religious beliefs while living on the state of the dead, i.e. that the dead sleep and do not know anything, then you know how ridiculous he would think this. Jehovah’s Witness use the Biblical texts of Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10 and Psalms 146:4. He sought advice from other spiritual leaders but the Jehovah’s Witness belief was ingrained in him. This belief on the state of the dead is the reason he made the disclaimer at the beginning of the Thriller video regarding the occult. If there was a ghost presence he would tell that it was a demon, not Michael.
im with sherry, Mike didn’t do the “child stuff” he was accused of. People took advantage.
But I still think he is alive. He’s been setting this up for years. You don’t think he has enough loyal fans or billionaire friends to pull this off? Please!
I’m just glad he’s dead and I wish they’d plant the sucker.
WOULDN’T THE GHOST MOONWALKED AND GRABBED ITS CROTCH IF IT WERE MICHAEL?
Michael would not be dishonest and fake his death. If he did, he would not be the Michael that we have all come to love. Think about it. He would not cause doctors to be accused of something they did not do. He was too loving to do this. If you accuse him of faking his death, you are discounting everything he stood for and believed.
Was the ghost moonwalking? No? Than it wasn’t Michael.

Indeed, could be a shadow and not a ghost… after all, Peter Pan lost his and had to fly from the stars to get it back! Why not Michael? ^-^ (btw… “innocent ’til proven guilty”, so nice if you saved your personal “judgments”) ~Rest In Peace, Jacko~
There are tons of windows in that room. It’s obviously a shadow and a statement by the author.
Oh please don’t start the “fake his own death” rumors thats just what went on when Elvis died.
pleaz michael did not fake his death and yes i belive dat elivs did
but how do u know?
Oh please do not start the “faked his own death” rumors; thats just what happened when Elvis died.
This is something which if you believe is true is just that, we all are here by the grace of God and sometimes he takes people too early, maybe he wanted his music up there. I hope it is his Ghost but I also hope he is not dead. No need for any people not MJ fans to join in this, if you didn’t like him – go somewhere else. MJ best signer and entertainer of our time the world IS a sadder place without him, sadly missed.
