It's been a little over a week since the King of Pop Michael Jackson passed away, but during a video tour of his Neverland Ranch on Larry King Live, MJ may have just made his first spectral appearance.
Check out the video below. In it you will clearly see the dark silhouette of someone moving from one room to the other. Fake? Real? Camera trick? Reflection? The only thing we know for sure is that it's way odd. Tell us what you think below.

Alright this is my take on this.
Keep in mind when you watch Larry interview his brother Jermaine. Then showed M J's Master bedroom.
There is a slight possibilty that ghost might of been him trying to get his brother attention.

All I saw was 5 locks on one door that was to keep those molested children in MJ's bed. Escaping the Neverland Ranch....that's a movie that should be in the works. Where a white gloved pervert moonwalks the halls of a distorted reality and young children's genitals are led like lambs to a slaughter. Think Freddy Krueger, only more of a child molester and less on the coolside.

How do shadows not move like that?
I'm not being a "nyah nyah" I am just curious. I remember seeing shadows move like that, like when the gardener is walking outside my window.
And for anyone who hasn't figured it out yet, Michael Jackson is NOT dead. The CIA have retired him to "The Island" after serving 20 years as a covert agent in the war against the Zeta Reculans. He's now enjoying cocktails with Bruce Lee and Jimi Hendrix, who were also agents.

The shadow doesn't change form as it moves from one end to the other. If someone was walking by a light, it's size would fluxuate.
If anything, this was done digitally in post.

Just the shadow of someone walking past a light. Or it's entirely staged. Either way, it's not a ghost...

I'm as skeptical as the next man, but the fact is that shadows don't move like that. It can't be an accidental cast shadow from a crew member...that's physically impossible here.
Did someone doctor the video...or did this appear as is, live?

Minion beat me to it. If it really was MJ, it would have been moonwalking while grabbing it's genitals. WWWOOOOOOO!

It's nonsensical garbage is what it is. And it's not even new. It's a mere shadow mistake that could have come from anywhere. The lights reflecting on the glass, some one on the outside walking past a lit door, anything.

What a load of shit.
A careless gaffer walks in front of a light and the tabloid media shits their fucking pants.

My take on this:
You have two components: the shadow and the reflection.
The shadow is clearly from a light source inside that room, or perhaps a window into that room. The illusion is that the light source is coming down the hall, but take a close look and you'll find there's no light source that would illuminate that back wall all the way down that hallway.
If the light source is in the room, the shadow had to have been cast within that room. NOT from between the camera and the wall, even though that's how it appears because of..
The reflection. The extremely shiny, polished floor gives almost a mirror perfect reflection of the fireplace. Because that floor is so reflective (they must wax that thing hourly) we have something that sounds absurd on the face of it: a reflection of a shadow.
You have a strong light source (either sunlight or perhaps TV/photography lighting) which creates a fairly dark shadow which contrasts nicely with the pale wall color in that room. The entire image of that back wall is reproduced perfectly in the floor, just like a mirror. That results in a near-perfect illusion of a shadow that begins in the hall and stretches down to the back wall, when in reality the shadow begins on the back wall and the reflection stretches down the hall.
It's a fantastic illusion, and the fact that it was caught in such a way is quite amazing.

Would have been a tad bit more impressed if the shadow was moonwalking. Oh well. Cool video anyways!
