When you see it in close-up, you can see a film light set up in the room at the end.
It may just be a crew member’s shadow, cast by that light.
Still, I didn’t see a crew member walk across.
You never see anyone walk across or the person walking across the floor. That was just crazy. And it looks like the shadow walks right in fron to the door. Good capture.
This mass seems to be transparent. Shadows are not. As the mass is walking across the room it cast a shadow on the hallway floor. Something strange was also seen in the Matt Lauer interviview with Jermaine @ Neverland. Coincedence??
I really don’t think Jackson would be wasting his time in the afterlife by walking around a place he’s spent so much time in already.
if that was michael jackson the only reason why he is roaming neverland ranch because he is not put to rest yet people are still talking about his death and his body isnt buried neverland ranch someone should be send thier to pray for that ranch so he could rest.
put him to rest thats why he is roaming around in the after life!!!michael jackson you are not alone we love you michael jackson!!!
Shadows are reflected on a wall or surface & are created by light. But there was nothing creating any light, no window behind the person filming. This is not the shadow of somebody who is in the room at the end of the corridor. We would see them walk past a few seconds after the shadow if it was. Even if somebody had walked behind the cameraman, it wouldn’t create a shadow like this. Wouldn’t create a shadow at all actually, too far away. Also if you look closely, the shadow is not in the room or on the wall/fireplace. It’s much closer, in the corridor. Shadows are bent/distorted, but this looks like ’somebody’ walking straight across the corridor. And I’m sorry to say it, but it does resemble Michael… can just make out the pony tail, & his fedora in his hands
when they were having the interview in the house i saw a person something like it it kept on sticking its body out and then hidding like over an over every time the guy would turn the body was gone then when he turned back you could see it in the back ground and yes i did see that shadow in the back ground thats creepy dont you think?what is dose anyone know?
wow!!
also on this interview check out the scene where miko and the interviewer turn a corner. You clearly see another camera man in front of them, to his left is a figure with black pants, white shirt, and black hair. this can be seen at 1:37 into it. wierd stuff. we need Ghost Hunters to validate this.
If you look closely the “ghost” gets smaller as it moves along and if watching frame by frame it does in fact appear to be a shadow from the furthest room to the left, this is clearly someone working on the set and the light in view distorts the shadow…sorry guys this is just a trick of lights because it happened so quickly its easy to jump to the conclusion it is a ghost, i wish it were but its simply a lacky behind the scenes
Je je je,,well Shadows dont waer kackets and pants and has head very difine to their hats.Just loks at the videos and si for urselves.Godd on you Michael give them somthing to debate on.xxxx
On sunny day, might be the shadow of a passerby OUTSIDE, casting an image INSIDE in a kind of camera obscura effect, but such an image would be upside down. It isn’t. Still, best guess seems to be shadow of a crew member out of sight of the filming camera. Notice how VERY bright that room is — they’ve got lights in there!
Yes,you can see a shadow pass on the wall in the room at the end of the hallway. If you look carefully you can see that the shadow reaches all the way back down the hallway to the cameraman. that tells me whoever’s shadow it was passed behind the cameraman.Besides we all know he’s in hell right now anyways.Narrow minds fooled again.
Michaela, It’s obviously the cameraman’s sound guy that your talking about. Both the cameraman and your ghost look exactly the same. You can’t see either of them “clearly” Jason and Grant would say the same thing after they had a good laugh.
After looking at it more closely I can tell that there had to be 5 people in the area of the cameraman. #1 the reporter #2 the interviewee #3 the cameraman #4 his sound guy and #5 would be someone holding the light. both, the figure at 1:37 and the shadow at 8:22 have their heads down. I think that they are checking the audio levels and thats why they’re looking down.
I think he come to see his son and daugther.
I watched the video with some interest, and noticed at between (8.21 till 8.22) something comes in from the right of my view, what it is I would not like to guess at. But it was no shadow
and appeared somewhat taller then Michael would have being,almost as thou floating about 60/61cm of the floor.
I think Micheal was doing the moon walker…..
Ok — I have been watching this over and over, to prove it IS a shadow from the roomk at the far end. Only problem, is that where the knees bend and legs separate is projected over the hall floor, not in the room. if it is a shadow, it must be from another source — not behind the camera and not at the far end. Are those windows in the hall?
OMG! That is scary! I haven’t watched it but I kinda want too… Then again I am kinda scared to. I might make my little sis watch it first.
Let’s all remember that it is taken during the daytime. It’s not a ghost. It’s a shadow cast down the hall from behind the cameraman look closely at the bottom of the shadow. Ghost are souls caught between life and death. We all know the pedophile is burning in hell. Incredible musician but a horrible human being.
Another person posted this comment: “Something strange was also seen in the Matt Lauer interviview with Jermaine @ Neverland. Coincedence??”
I would like to know what the strange thing was?
Thanks!
i’d like to think i’m somewhat of an expert on the subject and i,too, went over all the possible explanations for what i saw (by the way, i did not see the beginning with the yellow box showing where to look because i asked my daughter to check out the clip from Wegner’s newsletter i just read so when i got to that part i knew it was the paranormal footage in question) as i do with all paranormal evidence i come across.
i thought about possible crew members walking by but the shadow of someone walking outside of our vision would move up the wall at an angle or at least change in shape as it went by. this is a CNN clip so i don’t think it was rigged either (but all that family $ may have helped if it WAS rigged).
it must be a spirit/shadow person because it walks directly past the door frame without changing shape and there is no other person walking by with it.
i think jay and grant will get the exclusive rights to the investigation when things settle down although it would be the ultimate kick start for my podcast to go cable/video.
i’ll at least pitch the idea
cmon rich do you know anything about the man he used to be? i don’t think so…
and about the ‘ghost’ i don’t believe in ghosts, and i think it’s just a shadow but i can’t figure out which is the source… hmm
for.Rich- Your parents are great people for allowing their mentally challenged child on the internet. let’s not forget the “man” he used to be was arrested on suspicion of child molestation and twice settled out of court.No wonder he had money problems. I know exactly what kind of perverted, creepy little “man” he was. Narrow minds…
There is truely something to this video if you will look the figure is transparent not solid as a shadow would be also if you look at the hardwood floor it casts a reflection in the floor. This video either has to be real or a ver well thought up hoax. If you ask me its real MJ has had that ranch forever and a part of him will always be attached to it. He loved Neverland. Look for seeing alot more sitings in the future I think he is here to stay
I think it is possible that was a spirit. often when sudden deaths occur, spirits of the departed linger for days, month, even years, as they watch over friends, family and loved ones. During Germaine’s interview at neverland he even stated “He felt Michael’s presence there.” Perhaps because he was standing beside him without a body.
I think they should send ghost hunters out there to see and if there is a ghost then maybe MJ didn’t want to be put to rest the way he was
But if it was MJ he probably would’ve been moonwalking by the camera
Weasel, On Matt Lauer’s interview w/ Jermaine look at the wall behind JJ to the left of his head. At the begininng of the interview you clearly see the shadows of the trees criss crossing on the wall. Further into the interview the branches turn into an image of Mj’s torso and head. Can’t remember at what point it occurs but you clearly see the transformation. Let me know if you see it too.
Michaela, thank you for the reply. I just watched the interview on the Today Show’s site and at about 4:19 the tree shadows did form an image of Michael as the sun started to shine brighter to that area. I was really surprised at the clarity of the image—-it was unmistakably an image of him. It makes you wonder if it may be an imprint that he placed there as a message to his fans that he lives on. What do you think?
I belive that Michael Jackson was in his house in Neverland where he lived 18 years. I belive it is his ghost as they call it.( I call it astral body ) He loved his home and was very attached to his house and his wordly gains. Also Michael was not and spiritual person and I belive never study spirituality. >> When people die so sudenly like Michael Jackson, his astral body or sutil body is very dense; materia is even so much more dense. So it will take some time for him to realize he is in another dimention and be rescued by evolved souls to take him to a higher dimention. That takes time because so many dead ones are totaly ignorant of the real situation. So mean wile he is going to stay at his home and visit family and friends, wonder around. Did you see the movie ` The sixth sense ´ ? Yes, is almost the same that is happening to Michael now for a wile. Soon his body will be more sutil and he will be able to go away and learn how to live in his new home, a real neverland place. But he will reencarnate in the future cause he is not a pure soul. In this site you can understand how things work, I study at this fantastic school for 4 years. http://www.iacworld.org/
You all see a ghost because that’s what you want to believe. Why has no-one commented on the ghost of the chandelere(?) that is on the distant wall throughout the entire clip. HE WENT STRAIGHT TO HELL WHEN HE GASPED HIS LAST BREATH. Again incredible musician but a horrible human being…
You guys need to leave Michael alone.You need to stop messing with him.Besides what the hell are doing in house.There’s no reason to try to see a ghost,which you are not sure what you saw.It could be a shadow from someone trying to intrude his house,like you did!Michael Jackson is susposed to R.I.P.!You guys are just messing with while he is gone. You people always gave him a hard time. But if it is a ghost of Michael,he problay wants to see his famlies face again. Be stupid or dumb,your choice!
Myaca,You obviously didn’t watch the video. You just want to be heard. Your in the wrong discussion. This is about 3 seconds of video and whether or not people think it’s a ghost. If you don’t believe that he’s burning in hell right now you probably believe that he didn’t molest those children. If your innocent of the charges then why would you settle out of court? Either you were born a Retard or you were made into one, your choice.
Weasel, I never thought of it as a image that was intentionally placed. Anything is possible. I don’t think Today Show would risk fooling their audience and discrediting their reputation. As one person stated he doesn’t believe he is dead. He is probably so upset at himself for leaving the kids. hope he can rest his soul.
Rich, you obviously dont like mj, so please let us discuss this matter without your highly retarded opinion getting in the way. Was he convicted of child molestation? I think not. Lets not forget he was an AMAZING singer and dancer, and without him music would not be what it is today. so if he really is ‘burning in hell’ then i guess all musicians are done for:) Replys are welcome!
i agree with louise. this is getting ridiculous now. how do you know mj molested thosse children? you are none the wiser then any of us. i really dont think you understand the concept of ‘an opinion’. we all have diffrent views to share whether or not its a ghost, so stop attacking us, or go and cry somewhere else.
All you people stating that MJ should rot in hell should read this article (link below) that first appeared in GQ magazine in 1994. A REAL INVESTIGATIVE reporter investigated the MJ molestation allegations and determined that the accusations were unfounded.
Even Ian Halperin, the celebrity biographer whose “tell-all” MJ biography (to be released this week), says that MJ was NEVER a child molester. And this is coming from a man who initially thought MJ was guilty. Ian Halperin interviewed 100’s of children who stayed at Neverland and interacted with MJ. His conclusion: MJ was INNOCENT. The accusers were seeking money. If anyone is going to hell, it’s MJ’s accuser Jordan Chandler and his money-hungry father! And the other accuser, Gavin, is going to be caliente in hell, too.
Why did MJ settle with the first accuser? Because his insurance company forced him to settle! MJ did not want to settle because he knew he was innocent!
There are TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY. You can’t get all the facts from television soundbites and entertainment shows!!! You have to read!!

Please let Michael Jackson, the wonderful father, world’s greatest entertainer and the most giving humanitarian rest in peace! He was a kind and gentle soul and doesn’t deserve to be falsely accused.
First and foremost those who don’t believe in the possibility of an afterlife, have not read, researched nor investigated the laws of physics, the mysteries of electromagnetism, quantum theory and so on. We cannot forget we are nothing more than energy…while alive we simply are in a physical dense state called matter…….when we die, this matter transforms back into what it always was, energy form…..
Remember Einstein’s famous equation, e=mc2 ?? simply put, energy and matter are the same thing, only manifesting in different forms… is it then unreasonable at death to consider ourselves in a different energetic state???
name assignation is irrelevant, spirits, souls, conscious entities, ghosts or whatever other names we prefer to use…the important point is to educate ourselves and keep an open mind when considering other possibilities in topics of some kind of existence after death.
