ABOVE: A ghost is probably not the creepiest thing about MJ’s house.
We are sort of hoping that in the middle of today’s Michael Jackson memorial at the Staples Center, MJ will hop up like a zombie from the ‘Thriller” video and reveal that this was all a very elaborate episode of Punk’d.
That’s probably not going to happen.
However, MJ seems to be reaching out from beyond the grave-to Larry King on CNN, for some reason. A popular video clip shows what seems to be a ghostly figure wandering around MJ’s house as reporters are touring his bedroom.
Actually, we think that the idea of being in MJ’s bedroom (and seeing all of the locks on his door) is far creepier than anything the ghost has to offer.
Do you believe in ghosts?
Will you watch Michael Jackson’s memorial on TV?
Do you think there’s any chance this whole MJ death thing is a hoax and that he’s really eating peanut butter sandwiches with Elvis and Bubbles in Memphis?
So many questions…
Even if you are a huge MJ fan, you have to admit that this memorial is over-the-top. His family is reportedly going to bring his casket to the Staples Center for fans to see during the public memorial service on Tuesday July 7. This will surely be broadcast live, and in re-runs, until we all lose our minds. Why are people so eager to attend a funeral?
Does the world really need a million blurry iPhone photos of Jackson’s casket in an arena? Seems kind of tacky to us.
Live Twitter coverage of the funeral? Spin Magazine online has it covered. Ghoulish much?

I do believe in Ghosts…As i hv felt and seen them..They are shadows…
I cannot comment on this video as i was nt present there.But yes what raises my eyebrows is how come nobody saw that shadow or person,whn it was caught on camera??Its a shadow again,n there is nobody in front of the reporter and MJ friend..anything behind the camera cannot be captured,thn what was that?I feel it was MJ ghost..coz whn u diea sudden with dreams n wishes unfulfilles ur soul never rests in peace..and MJ had unfinished business…
Wish he was alive…

OMG…yes i believe in ghost….i believe that mj is the ghost in his own home…where ever the ghost is going it might lead to a clue….or something that might happened to him before his death….you should get someone to look behind that wall or the room next to it…its a clue to bring who ever it was who killed him to justice….
TRUST ME I KNOW THIS STUFF :O

Ok…ummm…lets see here…umm ghosts are real but that was no ghost…
OK? that was just a shaddow from the window with one of the staff walking in the back.
so there is no need to get all worked up over a ‘ghost’.

I feel if a person dies a death before time,his soul never rests in peace.MJ had unfinished business…he was’nt prepared fr death..Nor he would have imagined in wierdest if his dreams to die like this..Hence it cannot be ruled out that it was not a ghost.Anything which is behind the camera cannot be captured , n if its before the lens thn it cannot remain hidden fron people who r shooting..N this image was not visible to both reporter and MJ’s friend,which is impossible.Thn what was THAT?n I will not hesitate to say tht i hv experienced such elements of this world.

There’s nothing wrong with believing that MJ will hop out of the glass box at today’s service. To be honest, I think a lot of people are hoping for that. I saw the CNN “Ghost” and it was clearly obvious that’s exactly what it was. Ghosts don’t look like Casper with white sheets; they are in their own human form, if you believe in that sort of thing.

I believe in ghosts, but I’m pretty sure that’s probably just the shadow of a news crew-member.

Could just be a shadow. Seems like MJ would moonwalk if he really wanted his ghost to be noticed. Perhaps the Ghost Hunters should visit.
Karen added...
A ghost moonwalk would be excellent. Ghost Hunters (or Myth Busters) should totally investigate!

When we die our souls leave the earth, to heaven or to a place where we wait for the Final Judgement. These are the souls of people who expected death and ready to make the change. That is NOT the case of Michael. IT was NOT HIS TIME. Therefore his soul needs LOTS of our prayers to understand what had happened to him. Also souls of people with unexpected death are the ones usually found in haunted houses. I am afraid to think that another hand or person is responsible for his death, intentionally or accidentally. He will not leave until his death is clarified. I Love u Michael. Nobody will hurt you anymore….

I believe that it could possibly be MJ coming back to say goodbye one last time! He was the ultimate entertainer, but he was also a son, brother, father, friend, and uncle and people have always seemed to forget that about him. I have never believed any of the ridiculous lies that were told about him over the years. He was a child himself and he loved people too much to ever consider hurting a fellow human. I hope Michael can finally be left alone! He has been the butt of way too many jokes and prosecuted by too many ignorant people. His memorial service today was amazing and befitting the king of pop he was. RIP Michael. I love you and will treasure everything you have brought us throughout your life! Now ignorance will never follow you around again!

Man you people are gullible, if you think that its a ghost.
It’s a shadow being cast into the room probably from the bazillions of people and cameras outside with blazing lights everywhere.
If you people looked more closely the shadow is also cast onto the floor and you can clearly see legs moving to walk.
if you paused the actual video just as they are moving left you can clearly see a window right where the shadow would cast in.

This is definitely not a shadow of anybody in that room. It is a real ghost if it is not a video manipulation.

Oh Please people stop it… he is dead… why is it every time a famous person dies… theres some mystery behind it? Theres no frickin ghost… and yes Elvis is dead.

I do believe in ghosts. I have seen and felt them. I am very confused by this video. i have watched it over and over again trying to disprove it. I found that it could be a ghost because if it were a shadow it would not have had the look where it seems like it is not plastered against the wall like a shadow. And if it were a shadow of a person walking by a light, why was it that when the camera people walked by there was no shadow of them? And plus Michael Jackson was very attached to his home and there is a theory that ghost can haunt a place or an item that they loved. I was not surprised when I saw this video. I think the figure in the video is Michael Jackson’s ghost.

Pretty easy to see that it’s someone’s shadow from another light source.
When a camera crew comes in to shoot a building as large as his house they bring a lot of soft lighting to make sure the rooms are lit up very well.
If you look at the reflection on the floor the head of the “ghost” is at the feet of the shadow on the wall. Someone was setting up a light upstairs to shine on that wall and then walked in front of it.

I think it could be his ghost. he loved neverland and a sudden death might cause him torment. But his spirit is free now, away from all the fame and abuse he got from his dad. he helped made Michael as weird as he was the man should have faced abuse charges for what he did to his son!Find peace Michael you were a great singer and one of the best. PS The funeral WAS tacky and the fans have to pay for it!They are being asked for donations to cover the cost, and the body SHOULD be buried, respect for the dead!

the are shadows. But ghosts are shadows of something that we can’t see but are actually there. The shadow appears as a shadow normally would and moves like on so they all think its a shadow, they’er right, but its not really the type of shadow they think it is. Its a shadow of something we cant see.
In other words. It may be michael jacksons shadow, and michael may be there. If he was it IS his shawdow not him. He will not be visisble to anyone who cant use the third eye (meduims use thier 3rd eye.)

I’m glad CNN responded to this craziness. They posted a much clearer version of the movie here http://www.buzzfeed.com/elmarburchia/ghost-of-michael-jackson-7ve (the 2nd video on the page) and explained what you are seeing.

Well, I can honestly say I have recorded the video of the supposebly “MJ’s Ghost” And I can say from what I Have reviewed scene by scene it is a FARCE, it is in FACT A HOAX!!!!!!! the scene by scene you can pick up discrepencies, and to note also some of the recording’s the “MJ GHOST” that show’s in some video’s, don’t even show up in scene by scene slow down, which means a fabrication…. but don’t believe me you can do your own investigating…
Simply record the video several that you choose, even from “CNN” and you will see I have, and found the last two frames of the so called “GHOST” the last two frames are very mysterious, one of which is the second to the last frame which the LIGHT where the “ghost” is passing BEFORE IT is seems to show in the video the light is visible, but however the very last clip after the “ghost” had disappeared, the Light and pole is extremely BLURRY… Very strange!! I have viewed them scene by scene and have seen to many discrepencies when it come’s to Pixels, and some even the “Ghost” is there as your watching but not there when you record and go frame by frame, strange… I do believe in spirits, I do believe in ghost, but this one I do believe is just a HOAX!!!!!!
