At first when I read this I was about to get annoyed at another lame MJ thread but I must admit this is pretty awesome.

It really does look like an independent figure and nothing like a shadow to me.

Really awesome find and thanks for posting!

S&F!

You were right.The ghost past the hallway from left to right.It was not a really tall person.Could have been michael jackson

I was a skeptic and still am , although it's a great find.
I see that CNN has taken down the video.
Now, I wonder......

Thread is starred and flagged

Whatever the explanation, this is a really cool find!!

Amazing find. Nice.

Looks real enough to me. Could be a shadow, but youtube isn't really a good source to try and analyze stuff from.

Interesting stuff, thanks for posting

Really cool find, so a S&F. I do believe in ghosts, and do have an open mind. But until someone can prove any different, this (in my mind) will be nothing more than a reflection from somebody walking past or near a different light source.

Even if this was a shadow, wouldn't we see a person from this angle across the archway? It must be either CGI (which wouldn't suprise me)...or I guess; a ghost! The shadow isn't at the correct degree for a person to cause it before reaching camera shot across the open space.

Ya its not a shadow.

Its a 3 dimensional entity.

It doesnt stick to the ground like a shadow and its not 2 dimensional. It's an opaque 3D entity.

Is it micheal? i dont know but its definately not a shadow.
Its also on the CNN video so its clearly not CGI by the op. Unless CNN is screwing with us(very probable lol).

The CNN video is actually more enlightening than the youtube one everyone should check it out.

I don't think CNN would have spent time to make such a modification. This TV show had to be made very quickly and it's impossible they chose to erase somebody's silhouette, they would have left him/her as it was no big deal to see somebody walking in this room.
In my opinion, this is just the shadow of somebody walking outside.

The "ghost" appears and disappears within the doorway to that room. I think some of you are not being honest with yourselves. I enjoyed the mans music also, but a shadow is a shadow. It's not being cast by someone near the camera man, and it's not being cast by someone outside the hallway. It's someone in the far room.

At the end of the hallway the room has a light on a stand, most likely more than one (You can see one pointing away from the camera, right in the center of the doorway). Someone in that room walked by a light and projected their shadow onto the wall.

How come no one else is casting shadows in the house that large? What an obvious way to attract our attention. Maybe ghosts have slightly more to project that us breathing living creatures...what with the sudden repression they must be facing!!!!

If it was MJ's ghost, wouldn't it be moonwalking?

There are a lot of strong lights used in television, so it's probably just a weird shadow.

Maybe he really is moonwalking...on the moon...recruited by NASA. AHA! I don't know where I'm going with this. Nevermind.

If you freeze the frame correctly you can see that the upright 'ghost' feature actually bends on the mantle piece in two positions. This clearly suggests a shadow...However saying that, there is no reason to suggest a ghost isn't displayed as light. After all, we see the light from 'stars' that are dead from millions of years ago...no pun intended.

This is an amazing find! The first time I watched it I thought a crew member or someone was just walking by in a far room. I have watched that part of the video numerous times and this is what I think. It does look like a ghost to me! I have stopped the video at the precise time and you can tell that it is not a shadow off of a wall. The image is crossing the hallway possibly from some room on the left to a room on the right. The more you watch the more you can tell that the image is of a small frame person with shoulder length hair! Very fascinating!
S&F for you!

It's odd that the shadow actually casts a shadow on the floor. Or a reflection.
