The Ghost of Michael Jackson Makes an Appearance in England?

The ghost of Michael Jackson likes to hang around his impersonators. Maybe? The NY Daily News reported that 14-year-old British teen, Reece Savva, was "excitedly waiting in line for the fake entertainer's autograph at the Churchill Theater in Bromley, Kent, when he took a series of pictures." What Savva found when reviewing the pics took him by surprise. The late King of Pop was floating over the shoulder of the impersonator. At least that's what they think.

Savva relays his take on this spooky image, "It was so eerie. There was nothing there at all when I was waiting in line." He added, "I have no idea what happened on that one picture, but it's terrifying. It was like something out of Thriller."

His mama was pretty shocked about this pic too, "The image is so clear. Sometimes you can see these things in photos, it is an image of something but you are almost willing it to be something else. But you look at that and it is clearly a face and it does look like Michael Jackson."

So, yeah, Thriller? Zombie Jacko? Take a look at the pic and let us know what you think. I'm not convinced it's Michael but the ghost of a creepy clown is something I'm not ruling out...or Fake Mike's reflection.

Here's a closer look...

'Thriller' Love Scene is Transformed with Legos

In 1983, Michael Jackson's 13-minute, John Landis-directed video, "Thriller" was a huge deal. It still holds up and can make us feel nostalgic and certainly puts us in the spirit of Halloween.

Over on YouTube, Annette Jung created an amazing video depicting Michael Jackson's transformation into a werewolf...with LEGOS! You have to watch this to fully appreciate it and we'd like to give thanks to our friend, Dave Schrader, for the tip on this cool find.

A Halloween wake-up call

A Real Monster Mash

If you don't live in or around Chicago, you probably didn't get the invite, but a ruckus went down in Wicker Park last weekend ... a ruckus caused by thousands of the living dead. Say what? You read that right. Ok, fine, so it wasn't thousands. More like "thousand." July 25th marked the one-month-a-versary of MJ's death, so what better way to honor a man who quite possibly changed the face of popular music (and culture) with the help of a single sparkly glove then to dress up like a dead dude and (badly) reenact the "Thriller" vid? Hello, there IS no better way. The zombie love overfloweth. Thinking about zombie love got me thinking about zombie hate. It's feverish on both sides. My suggestion? Let's all join hands, do a little Kumbaya, and get dead serious about the real parapests—those nasty, crafty vamps. But leave the ones in Forks and Bon Temps alone. I love those guys.

The new 'Entertainment Weekly' cover (aka the issue I can't leave out at home)

Although not an awkward family photo, this new EW cover featuring the kids from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince makes me feel very uncomfortable nonetheless.

Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but the thicket of hair popping out of Daniel Radcliffe's Wolverine wife beater and the physical contact between Emma Watson and Rupert Grint seems like the kind of content that lands people on neighborhood watchlists. I know they're all adults now, but they still look so young and the level of sexual suggestion here gives me the creeps.

I'm going to have to keep this cover at least 50 yards away from last week's Michael Jackson tribute issue.

'Ghost Hunter' Grant Wilson on Neverland Ranch ghost

As if you needed this to be debunked, TAPS co-founder Grant Wilson tweeted that the Jacko ghost vid was a "shadow from someone in the room at the end of the hallway. The [sic] would be standing to the left of the door somewhere, blocking light"
