Is this eerie shadow the restless soul of Michael Jackson?

His fans are in a frenzy after seeing footage filmed at Jackson’s property Neverland in a CNN special on the star’s life entitled Inside Neverland.

Neither the presenter nor the cameraman noticed the spectre. But after it was posted on YouTube fans picked up the shadow and rumours spread across the Internet like wildfire, reports London’s The Sun.

During the news channel special - aired a week after his death - Miko Brando, Marlon's son and good friend of Jackson's, takes a film crew on a tour of Neverland.

After the shadowy figure was seen down a long hallway in the mansion, chat forums were flooded with messages from fans who insisted the shadow was Michael's ghost.
