My guess is that you can see lighting in the far room of the shadow and it was somebody walking past a light that reflected it at an angle that showed up exactly how it did.......

I'm not saying it's not his ghost though .....that would be arrogant of me to say such things without proof of any kind , or much knowledge as to how shadows form off of lighting...

It is a shadow of a human being. After reviewing the video of CNN's footage, you can clearly see the shadow bend around corners and elongate just like any old normal shadow would. Not a ghost. Since when did a shadow become a ghost?

Please explain exactly where the shadow bends and elongates, because I just watched that part another 5 times and for the life of me I can't see where it does that. And believe me, I'm on your side -- I don't believe in ghosts. But I just can't see it happening in this situation.

Yea I watched it 50 times, lol I didn't see any bending around.

You got to realize the shadow isnt there, it is your mind thats bending

matrix jackson.

wowsers

Guys guys guys...

IF this was indeed Michael, wouldn't the shadow be moonwalking across the room? Not walking?

That shadow figure even looks like Michael Jackson, its very tall and thin and it kinda looks like hes wearing the hat from smooth criminal.

It even looks like Michael Jackson, lol. Must be a shadow or something but anything is possible.

This is really a good find indeed. If this is actually a ghost, then I hope they help Michael move on. A ghost is usually a spirit that is trapped somewhere for various reasons, and they often get trapped from a sudden death. It always makes me sad on those ghost hunter shows when they find a ghost that is trapped and then don't help it move on. Michael Jackson dearly loved that ranch, which is probably why he is staying there.

if you cant see the video, you might have issues watching flash movies or something? (or it might be a location thing...I know you cant watch daily show clips over in the UK for some reason...)

This thread is getting too long already with dumb comments.

I'm going with GHOST for this one.

The room was well lit, but the shadow was extending into the hall and no one was moving in front of the light at the end of the hall. It also didn't come from the room where the camera was rolling.

yep .. I'm going with GHOST.

As I watch the video, I see the "shadow" in the middle room crossing left to right. Wouldn't a persons shadow distort as it passes the doorway to the room with the fireplace? To me , as the shadow passes the door frame, it would be projected onto the wall with the fireplace.
I see a free standing shadow in the center room. Although, it could be an illusion

Thats what I was about to say - a shadow falls onto a solid object like a wall - this just seems to be free stanging between a doorway.

I'm the biggest sceptic here and even I think that was odd.
