Awesome or Off-Putting is a weekly delve into cryptozoology, ufology, aliens, medical marvels, scientific wonders, secret societies, government conspiracies, cults, ghosts, EVPs, ancient artifacts, strange facts, odd sightings or just the plain unexplainable.
Say what you will, but upon being embraced by the cold arms of death, we really don’t thing you’ll change much on the other side. Nerds will still be nerdy, the dull will still be dully, and Michael Jackson‘s ghost is still using incredibly sexy children as his playtime muses.
This time in Zimbabwe, according to a school full of witnesses.
Several Michael Jackson-y things have happened since the man died. For instance, his other glove turned up.
Plus somebody filmed him getting out of a hearse or something, and his brain got divorced from the inside of his skull (and then wasn’t invited to the funeral). On top of that – Larry King bravely discovered MJ’s ghost lurking around Neverland in a cameraman-ish sort of way, and toddlers everywhere have stopped waking up to the king of pop puffing on a cigarette.
If you think about it,? dead-Michael’s almost more socially relevant than live-Michael. That may be the opinion of millions of children putting on a nativity in Zimbabwe.
No really – look what it says on Paranormal.About.com:
The sighting of Jackson’s ghost occurred at the St Mary’s Mission School,a? Catholic institution, in Zimbabwe’s capital of Harare. Allegedly a group of students aged from twelve to fourteen years were sitting along with some of the nuns that work at St Mary’s and watching a nativity play that was organized after school hours.
Children dressed as Mary, Joseph and the Wise Men were on stage when suddenly the lights went out. Then ghost-like being appeared on stage waving a white-gloved hand. The terrified students emptied the hall along with the supervising nuns. Almost all the students later agreed that it was Michael Jackson that they saw. “It definitely was MJ” noted Theresa, a student at the school. “It was his face and his clothes. he smiled and waived at us.”
Theresa went on to say that as he waived, he did so in a way that seemed to be beckoning children into a van.
Theresa didn’t really say that. There is another real quote though – from a nun named Sister Maria:
“I saw it too. It was not human and must have been a spirit. The students later told me it was Michael Jackson.”
We think we know what’s going on here. Jackson died before he was able to stage his comeback tour on stage every other day in front of a collective millions of people. He died, of course, and he was never able to enjoy that limelite he craved so much. A Zimbabwean childrens’ stage is the first thing his spectre stumbled across, and he decided that would be good enough.
And you know what? Really that is good enough.

Almost on a par with the stupidy of anyone who can’t spot a joke on a humourous, satirical website :)
