Watch This: The Michael Jackson Seance
Filed under: Fandom
Many of Michael Jackson's fans have paid tribute to the deceased pop icon by seeing This Is It, the ghoulishly titled assemblage of rehearsal footage and outtakes that was rushed into theaters last month, just in time for Halloween (or, as Jackson used to call it, "every day"). But some of the beloved nutjob's greatest admirers have gone a step further and contacted him beyond the grave in a seance, which is about as believable as The Fourth Kind.
Derek Acorah, an English medium of some renown on that side of the pond, conducted the spirit-contacting and aired it on the U.K.'s Sky 1 channel. We have a YouTube clip after the jump. Acorah is the older, silver-haired gentleman in the video. The host asks him if people can ask Michael Jackson questions through him, and Acorah says yes, absolutely, the King of Pop would love that. Then Acorah opens his eyes and looks a little stunned. Apparently this is when he starts "channeling" Jackson. Michael Jackson is inside this man's body!
Then there is a fellow who looks a bit like Michael Ian Black who was apparently one of Jackson's friends and, by the looks of things, the inheritor of some of his wardrobe. He is very emotional about the chance to speak with his dead friend, especially when the dead friend, through Acorah, tells him that love and sensitivity "oozes" from him. Finally the friend asks, "Do you realize how much I love you, Michael?" Really? That's your question? Not "What's the afterlife like?" or "Have you had any awkward encounters with the Elephant Man?" but "Did you know I love you?" LAME.The clip, after the jump. [Via Buzzfeed.]

Ouch! "I love you more, Michael." Then Michael doesn't contest it! None of the requisite "No, I love you more." Nope.
Might as well have said, "Yeah. You're right. You love me waaaaay more. You kinda creep me out, and I'm Dead Michael Jackson!"

Why did nobody ask how Michael really died and who is responsable? Because this dr. Murray might just be a pawn; there were many others who would benefit from his death. Or maybe he had to be silenced.
Wouldn't it be justice if the truth came out and Michael's soul could find peace?

But how do we know that he is resting in peace? He could be suffering for the rest of eternity. Depends on what he believed. His mom is a Jehovahs Witness, but they don't believe that Jesus is Lord. Then again, he was pals with some muslims and they believe that allah is god...too bad since allah hasn't done anything but get these fools to kill others...does that sound like a true loving god?

Anybody else think that this other Michael looks a lot like an older version of Damien from The Omen II?

This has to be up there at the top of some of the lamest crap I have ever witnessed. How can you be so dumb to sit there at that table and actually buy the load of crap this guy is spewing? Obviously Michaels vocabulary changed immensely in the after life, lol. And he also became extrememly long winded. I did'nt think that guy would ever shut the hell up.

The author's reference to Michael as a "nutjob" was totally unnecessary and uncalled for. Have some some respect for the deceased.

I was going to say the same thing, Doris. How disrespectful and immature this writer made this story sound! He was worse than the idiots that held the seance! All the vultures need to go away and let Michael Jackson rest in peace, finally. Even in death, they can't leave him alone. Have some respect for cryin' out loud, sickening. WIsh I never read it.

I'm glad you agree, Kymberly.
Who else finds the way this article was written as disrespectful to the King of Pop?

We can't even leave the pour bugger alone after he's in the grave? Maybe you all can harrass him when you pass on. But for now leave him alone and let him rest in peace!

To the writer of this story,Eric D. Snider,you have no right to call Michael a nutjob! You probably didn't even know him so have some respect for him and maybe try some respect for yourself. Stop slandering Michael and get a life. Did anyone ever tell you "If you can't say something nice,don't say anything at all"? You should try it sometime! I doubt that you are trying to save the planet and help the people so leave Michael alone you jerkoff!!!!!!!!!!!
