Title: So where were you when Michael 'died'
Post by: OneStepCloser on November 28, 2009, 02:29:40 AM
Just out of curiosity, where were you? what time was it and what were you doing? And how did u get here?
Personally, I was in Gran Canaria on holiday :| 5 days in to the 2 week break when it happened!
Anyway it was about 10PM at night I think? My family and I had just went out and we were sitting in this bar and they had the TV on playing random music... next thing the guy that worked in the bar suddenly started running about and turned the TV over to news...Michaels face was on the screen. All I could see was the word 'Dead'. I actually was like huh? LOL. My heart only had one pang of ache but something inside comforted me, something to say that this wasn't as it seemed.
My mum said, 'What does that say on the screen? Michael Jackson...what about him.' I said 'Michael Jackson is dead'. She said, 'No he cant be'. Note how I wasn't fazed at all, it was like something inside me, instinct which made me feel, no he's not gone. The whole night though all I kept saying was 'Something isn't right'. I said it within an hour of him 'dying' to my mum and she said 'You know I think the same'.
So for the rest of the holiday, I was basically stuffed up in the apartment watching Sky News, and when that went to break..I would switch to Spanish news and watch that even though I didn't understand lmao :D My parents were going insane, I wouldnt even go to the pool, they literally had to drag me out at night LOL :D I was totally taken by this...
I followed everything, 'death', aftermath, mourning fans, Conrad Murray disappearing, autopsy. So needless to say, that wasn't a holiday I would particularly like to remember...LMAO.
The whole time I just wanted to get home, on the internet and find out so much info. I typed in 'Michael Jackson faked death' the very morning I got back (July 2nd at 6AM :D)  First went to MJHD followed the topics there for a few months then discovered this place. And the rest was HiStory ;) LMAO.
So what about you???

uh, this is hard cause I remember the way I felt! I woke up at 6 in the morning to work at some papers cause I couldn't sleep (and I like to sleep believe me!) but I opened the tv only by 7. In LA in must have been evening so the news was already out there while here was night. I saw the photo and said "this is not true!". I tryed to confort with that thought. Then I saw Jermaine with his announcement and I just stood there in the room and freezed for couple of minutes. Then I called a friend fron Italy, where was 5 in the morning , wake her up to turn on the tv. Then I opened messenger, the messeges came from everybody who new already telling me how sorry they are. it was terrible. For a while I watched tv to see what has happened but after a while turned it off as I couldn't stand it anymore! This went like this for days, couldn't really watch tv.
I started suspecting things watching the hoax videos on youtube and here we are!

I wasn't a fan of him then but I didn't hate him either. My brother woke me up and told me Farrah had died. (I don't know what it is, but when ever someone dies, I'm the first person they tell. I can't tell you how many times I was woken up with "Patrick Swayze died!" even though they were all rumors, except the last one of course.) Later, I was in my room reading and my brother came is again and said Michael Jackson went to the hospital. I blew it off and thought, 'Oh. He'll be fine. Nothing major.' Eventually he came back in and said he had died.

Whenever someone dies, even if I don't know them, I get this weird feeling in my chest and then I go through all the "Awww. What about their family?" thoughts and others like that for a few minutes. It happened with Farrah, Billy Mays, Ed McMahon, and others but when my brother said he had died I was HIGHLY confused. My instincts have never let me down.

I turned on the tv and couldn't get any feeling besides "Huh???" I even tried to feel bad. I couldn't do it.
My tweet on June 25th after I could finally log in after Michael broke Twitter said, "Wow. What an unexpected day. RIP" It's not there anymore and I don't know why. I think I accidentally deleted it yesterday while deleting other tweets. :(  I was afraid to put RIP MJ. (because he didn't really die! ;) ) I didn't even put RIP MJ for the memorial.

Funny thing. My dad, who if you remember in the dream thread has some very wrong views on MJ, came home from work and said, "Did you hear Michael Jackson faked his death?" I said, "Yep."
He's the whole reason I found MJHD in the first place. I was just going to let the whole situation be (at that time I believed the whole "He was poor!" thing and had a 'whatever' attitude about everything) but he showed me the video of the "moving body" in the helicopter. That was that  :D

Um, well, in the exact moment I was sleeping, because it was in the middle of the night here back then. I got up on the morning as usual and went to my summer work.
For a while I listened to radio, then suddenly I hear someone in radio laughing to MJ's death. I didn't believe it first. I listened another song from the radio, and then I really understood that they're telling me he is dead.
Then I just went home.

well, i was at home. usually i watch the news then my soap opera :) it was 3 days before i would enter my college. so, the news was on & the image ofthe hospital appeared. it said Michael was being hsopitalized. as time progressed, more people gathered around there and the police were blocking the hospital. my father said, "if they're blocking everything it means he died." i was on faacebook & all people would status about was Michael. i remember writing, "Michael Jackson is in a coma. Please pray for him!" until it was said that he was dead, but CNN did not confirm. i stll had a little bit of hope until CNN confrmed he died. facebook statuses were sad, and amusing. one day put a status up saying, RIP Michael. someone else commented it like, "are you at your house?" and the guy who wrote the status was like, "ni**a you asking me if i'm home when Michael Jackson just died. the world is about to end for real" LOL :lol: i felt sad, but not enough to cry. my sister & i said we would get a tatoo of the MJ sign. until later, like 11 at night (EST) i was blogging on facebook, BAWLING my eyes out because i wrote this long RIP blog on him. i was shocked, but so sad...

i honestly don't know how i got to thinking about him hoaxing his death...i can't remember. i was at college for 6 weeks straight so i kept myself occupied (& everyone knew me by my love for MJ :D ). but i'm glad i found you guys<3. thank you for giving me hope.

Oh Gosh I remember that so well. I was in Texas at the time. In my mom's room upstairs. It was me, my sister, and my mom. I had just got home about an hour before. I was in the room talking to my sister an my mom. When the 5:00 news was broadcasting Michael was just in the hospital from cardic arrest an they didn't know what his current condition was. In my head I was like Michael going to be okay. I just kept telling myself that. Like after 5 or 6 minutes of telling myself this. They stated that he had now died. My heart just suck in my chest. I was so confused and frustrated. I just wanted to scream. Later on, They started showing his videos. I was sad but I didn't shed a tear. If I did I force them to come down. Now maybe I'm crazy but that's not natural. I loved this guy with all my being yet my eyes wouldn't cry unlessed force. So I guess a couple of weeks past. I started thinking watching videos on youtube would stir up some type of emotion if I watch them constantly. They didn't but I came across a comment with MichaelJacksonHoaxDeath.Com attached to it. So I went there out of curiosity and since then I always had hope that he wasn't gone physically  ;)

I will always remember this day. I was at my aunt's house in Tennessee on summer break. Everything was going great. My baby cousin was just born and I was helping my aunt with him. I was on the treadmill and my aunt went on the computer. Her computer automatically opens up to the Yahoo homepage. She yelled to me on the treadmill: "Michael Jackson was found unconscious in his house." I asked her if he was okay and she said "Yes, he's at the hospital." About 5 minutes later I got off the treadmill and went on to Yahoo. In big bold letters it said MICHAEL JACKSON DEAD. I couldn't believe that he had died within 5 minutes of being unconscious. I had like 2,000 texts and emails from people saying: Michael Jackson is dead! It was about 4:30pm where I was. Because in California he died around 2:26pm and I was 2 hours ahead of them. Just a really sad day...At the time I really believed he was dead,(I think we all did) But then I went on the MichaelJacksonHoaxDeath.com. I honestly thought it was gonna be some stupid website with a bunch of people who just couldn't let go of Michael. But then when I realized they were stating real facts, I began to believe. And here I am today!  :D

It was almost midnight and I was sitting downstairs and that is when I heard it on Shownieuws, I was in absolutely shock me and my mum looked at each other and I couldn't believe it!
I ran upstairs and followed TMZ and CNN almost till after 3:00 in the morning.
It was such a weird feeling I will never forgot that night it was so shocking and awful, but now we know he's alive it all makes a little bit sense but still I get one of the worst feelings thinking about that night :cry:

I was in the shower, and my partner shouted out to me Michael Jacksons Dead!!!  and i said u are joking and i showered up as quick as i could, and went into our bedroom, saw the tv and after that i couldnt really do anything :cry: . I just kept reading it Micheal Jacksons Dead and it wouldnt sink in and i cried :cry: .
It was about 11pm uk time and i stayed up till almost 4am and i had to go to work the next morning.
I almost called in sick the next day. All day at work i was on the internet and then rushed home on 26 06 09 and the nightmare continued until July when i found MJHD forum and then i wasnt so bad, i really was in a bad way believe me.

June 25th is my fiance's birthday, and the day after my birthday.  It was early evening, and were out to dinner with his parents and brother -- there was a TV tuned into CNN in the restaurant.  We were all shocked.  I actually made myself physically ill and had to miss work on the 26th; I usually never miss work.  (My boss thought I had food poisoning.  I wasn't about to tell her the real reason.)  There was a power outage for hours and hours that day in my neighborhood, so I just lay in bed feeling staring at the wall, feeling awful, and crying...  and then after a few days I started getting suspicious...

I was watching the news at  around 10pm with my family when it suddenly came on that Michael had been rushed to hospital with a suspected heart attack. I wasn't a huge fan of his before that but hearing this I spent like 3 weeks crying. But since I found this site (or MJHD) it's been a real sense of relief for me.

I was at work (I live in the same time zone) and my boss went online to look up something and said "Michael Jackson died" and I didn't believe her. We read the article which didn't have a lot of info. On the way home, the DJ of my favourite radio station played a bunch of MJ songs since he is a HUGE fan.

I was in Playa Del Carmen Mexico on vacation. I brought my mini laptop with me. It was a horribly hot day in Mexico and I was out on the terrace with my avatar pal Mini(my Jack Russell Terrier). I hated the photo they showed on MSN and went to every news site to gather the info. I felt like someone had kicked me in the stomach.

First at home. I saw a headline on TV saying "Michael Jackson dead, TMZ reports."
But I was like, psh. TMZ? Yeah...probably another fake death.
But then I went to my grandma's house and it was all over CNN and other major news networks. They were showing the ambulance leaving. And that's when I knew he had "died"  ;)

I am feeling so much unity reading all of these posts.. knowing we all experienced this crazy day together, even though we didn't know it yet.

Anyway.. it was afternoon, and my kids were out of state on vacation with their dad. I was really bored and should have been doing housework, but I thought "Eh, the kids are gone, I can do whatever I want.." so I turned the TV on and was flipping through channels - turned it on to the TV Guide channel and they had a headline about him going to the hospital. I started flipping through news channels (I think I watched HLN for a week straight after 6/25!) and it was all Michael, Michael, Michael.. at that point, no one knew for sure what happened, so one minute they were talking about how he was in critical condition, then it was a heart attack, then no one was sure, then it was a coma, then it was he's dead, then not dead but not able to be resuscitated.. and on and on..
it was awful watching it and flip-flopping like that.

I have to admit, I believed it. Every word. I cried and cried and cried.

My daughter is a fan, so I thought about texting her dad's cell because I didn't want her to hear the news from anyone else in an insensitive way but at the same time I didn't want to ruin her vacation in case for some reason she didn't hear about it. (She's only 8)

But alas, they came home from vacation talking about how disappointed they are in MJ, how he's a drug addict, etc. etc. and so we have had a lot of long talks since then about really not believing everything you hear, etc. It was awful to hear my daughter say that, to see the disappointment in her eyes.  :cry:

It wasn't until I watched the memorial on TV that things started seeming weird to me. The way the kids acted, the people who weren't there, etc.  Then other things started to not make sense.

It wasn't until Nov. 12 that I started reading online about a possible hoax, and from that night forward I've been convinced.

I hope I'm not in denial. I hope it's not because I so desperately want him to be alive.

Anyway.. that's my story.

I was 15 miles from home at a pool with my daughters. I can't remember the trip home at all, and I stayed up the whole night crying and watching the news. Little did I know ...for the first week of watching the news, they were feeding us all bull_ _ _ _. :cry: I mourned his death like everyone else for the first week, then it all started getting crazy. Since then, I have been in sad and dreadful limbo like everybody else. :(

I had just came home from school and I was soo happy that the school year was finally over. So I called my friend and she tells me to change it to cnn and I said why? and she said just hurry up and change it. I see Michael Jackson in a coma and she says he's dead and I said no he's in a coma he's not dead yet and I sat infront of that tv waiting for the news and when it changed to Michael Jackson 1958 - 2009 I hung up on my friend. I just sat infront of the tv for hours on the same channel. I couldnt move and I didnt want to talk about it for days I didnt even wanna go out or watch tv or go on the computer, I just avoided everything. My mom was watching one of the tributes on tv and I walked in and heard him singing and just burst out into tears. I thought why? why did he die? there had to be another reason. Started to roam around the internet, found mjhd, and now im here !  :D

I was preparing for the day when I saw in the morning news that MJ was rushed at the hospital. I wanted to finish the report (for some reasons I do not quite understand yet) but I had other things to attend to.

It was 1pm here, (I think) when every one else was doing their business, companion of mine just announced that Michael Jackson was dead. She said that he died of cardiac arrest. She said she saw it in the front page of Yahoo!

I didn't believe it at first. I was devastated. I don't know why I even cared. I wasn't a fan or anything. Well, I think I was when I was a kid but not that much. Then people around me started saying sh*t about him, which I believed :(.

That night, I had a lot of realization.  :cry:

I was up at the crack of dawn with my baby girl. She was just 3 months old. I had the news on mute while I was feeding and I saw a pic of Michael then something about the Glastonbury festival.

I actually thought it was that he had done a surprise appearance! So I turned up the TV to hear it next time it was mentioned.

I will NEVER forget the newsreader saying Michael Jackson the self-styled king of pop has died at the age of 50.

My blood ran cold and I was like, 'no.no.no.'

Then I went numb and had sky news on 24/7 until the memorial.

Worst time of my life. :(

well, i guess we can all say it's been very difficult for us...i get real emotional watching the hoax videos on youtube, because some of them contain the news reports on his dead. & i get a rush of emotions, idk how to describe it. like my heart beats real fast...idk. i'm still sad that we've yet to confirm on his death or his living being. but i continuously pray for him & his children's safety.

I was on vacation at the university, and was at home. I saw the news in a local website. Firstly they said he was taken to hospital, but I thought he would be ok. Later I read the headlines stating he was dead. It was about 5 pm here. I was shocked, I couldn't believe it. I got so sad! I didn't know it would affect me this way because I was not the biggest fan; I complained to God. I didn't want to watch the news, see his face on the magazine's covers, listen to his songs or watch videos - because it made me cry. To be honest I still cry sometimes. I found MJHD on July I think... and now I'm here working with you in our investigation. :D

my family obviously know im s huge fan of mj...

i  hadnt long gone to bed...im in wales, uk..about 11pm one of my sons came in my room...

'mam, michael jacksons dead, hes just died... :cry:  :cry:

i got up straight away, and put the tv on the news...went on the internet...

i never went to bed until it was confirmed because it still hadnt been confirmed when i got up....


but my very first thought, and i said this to my other son who was up..

i said, hes faked his death...

it was just a feeling, maybe it was because i couldnt believe he had died....

but the feeling of him still being alive never went away....

then all the inconsistencies started showing up and we are still discovering more....

I have never reacted to death this bad. I couldnt cry and just sat watchhing the news...what made it worse is jermaine look when he announced i could tell it was bad news...but one thing that surprised me tmz said he was dead from 1st go and others were saying he was in coma

I saw the headline that Michael had been taken to the hospital, and for some reason I had to refresh my browser, and I did. The headline that came up was that Michael Jackson was dead :(...

I was actually on a UK celebrity site called "Digital Spy" and at the top in bold Red it said something about MJ in hospital. I can't recall exactly the correct wording as I immediately told my husband to switch off his programme about penguins so I could see the news. We then just began flicking between news channels to find out what was happening. Conflicting reports as we all know, at first  MJ was in a coma, at that point I had hope. But then some time later about 10:25PM here in the UK I think it was confirmed MJ had died. I felt resigned to the fact. It was all so official and real, it was on all the serious news stations so it must be true. I had not heard of TMZ at this point so immediately went onto the site because it seemed to know before everyone else what was happening. I watched the helicopter fly across LA and believed everything I saw. It is interesting to read other posts where fans say they did not "feel" that MJ had gone. Then when all the rehearsal footage came out about the "penguin" move I remembered the solitary penguin in the documentary I was half watching. It was heading off in the wrong direction and to its presumed demise. If I didn't know about the hoax I would forever think of that poor penguin and MJ. Sorry for rambling on that's what these past months do to a daft MJ fan.

I was at home.  I looked on Yahoo.com and the main headline was the one saying that he went to the hospital in possible cardiac arrest.  About 5 minutes later my best friend called me and asked if I heard what happened.  I said, "Yeah, what I read was that he went to the hospital and that they didn't know if he was dead or not.  Is he dead?"  My friend responded, "Yes, he did just die."

I was in the garage when I was talking to him and my sister and brother-in-law were visiting and they were in the living room.  I told my friend to hold on for a second and then I stuck my head out of the garage door into the house and told them that Michael Jackson had just passed away.  My brother-in-law's jaw dropped and his eyes went wide and he said  "Your sh*tt*ng me!"  

But as we were watching the whole scene at the hospital on TV and the helicopter carrying his "body" to the morgue, my brother-in-law said something about he thought MJ would be a prime candidate for someone who would want, or need, to fake their death.  That was what started it all for me!  That evening I already started looking for clues and then July 3rd is when I officially signed up on MJHD.com after being a lurker for a few days.  :D

Well,it was June 25th LOL and i was bored and it was hot so i went to the National Mall and was supposed to be going to the movies with my friend Nayonna.I 4got what we were going to see.We we got to union station and i had my AMC gift card all ready but i found out that they werent an AMC theatre anymore.LOL!I was guh,and we had already spent money on metro to get down there so we decided to stay a while,which turn into 5 hours.We went to all of the Smithsonian muesums :ugeek:  etc.and we walked down to the white house and all that good stuff.We went to the capitol too,but they were remodeling the visitors centre so they were closed at that time.Nayonna's feet started hurting so we started going home.About an hour later i got home and my sister was there.I started to go up the steps to my room and she was coming down.she met me half way and was like ,'michael jackson just died' so im like huh?IN AWE,like no he's not he's Michael Jackson.I went back to the botom of the steps back with Nayonna and I said,Nay guess what ?and she was like what?.I said they said Michael Jackson died.She kinda like looked at me blanked,and we burst out laughing. :oops: Im kinda embarrassed now,but really,i didnt feel that Michael was dead,at ALL!.So it was getting dark and I walked her home and came back to my house.I went to my room and hit the guide button on my lil direct tv remote and looked for the lil news channel thing.I pressed it and the boxes with like 5 news channels in 1 popped up.and all i see is MJ.At this point im like wtf?they showed him dancing on the car,him in the white suit pointing at the camerra and all that.and I got so scared.I went to my window and prayed,like literally.I was like Please god,let Michael be ok,i know this cant be true,just wherever he is let him be alright!.That whole night kept flipping back from CNN,to BBC and all that.And i flipped back from VHI classics to BET and MTV where they had all the MJ vids.For that whole month i think i lost like 10 lbs,bcuiz i wouldnt leave the room and didnt have much of an appetite.the next morning I woke I felt VERY relived.Like it was all ok.It was after the memorial i know,bcuz i still thought he was dead during the memorial and even played sick to get outta scholl to watch the memorial,so yea.it had to be around July 20th?I got on the computer and googled Michael Jackson.and i just started playing around and googled Michael Jackson had been spotted.that took me to Michael Jackson sightings.com(which i NOW know is BS).That took me to MJHD. I read MJHD index page and almost died.My legs felt weak.I said ,i screamed OMG ahhhh Michael Jackson,...hes alive and i just cried and cried and cried.I said god thank you.I looked at this spot in my tree outside my window which looked like MJ whom i used to sing smile to and tlak to everyday :oops:  :oops:  and his face like started to disappear.I really think it was just there to keep me sane.I played with google some more and came across some FBI and Illunati stuff,which i believed also (but NOW know what i read was BS) certain things I believed and didnt.It was illumnatitheo.blogspot.com or some crap saying mj and some old dying man switched bodies.I read that at liek July 25? i think that yea.anyway i got HERE by MJHD.Im tired of writing now LOL

Gosh, I think myself and others will always be able to remember where we were when we discovered the King of Pop had "died". I mean, I still remember what I was doing when the planes hit the two twin towers eight years ago (and I have the worst memory ever!).

For me, I remember just feeling tired and had the urge to lie down on my bed to listen to the radio. I never do that.  :lol: So yeah, I was just listening to a talk show and smiling to myself, and then suddenly out of the blue the presenter announced in a sad tone that apparently, "Michael Jackson is dead". This happened at around 11:00 at night as I live in England.

What can I say? I was shell-shocked. I mean, I wasn't even a huge fan at the time and here I was upset and frozen to the bed in disbelief. I remember going down stairs to announce it to my family, although I have no idea why. I just had the urge to declare it. My mum didn't believe me at first, so then I told her to change the channel to Sky News - and there it was.

Seeing as though it was six months ago, I can't remember exactly all the details, but I can say I was shocked enough to look properly at this man for the first time. In the past I usually took what the media portrayed him to be the honest truth. I just had that instinct that something wasn't right and I was glued to the TV and internet, trying to take in everything that was being reported. I just couldn't believe it.

When Michael "died" I was... deeply asleep  :?  It's only when I woke up in the morning at 7 a.m. that I learned that he "died". I received messages from friends and family on my cell phone and I couldn't believe it. I was so sad, I couldn't help crying. I said to myself why him ? Why now ? I have never met him yet  ! Oh no ! I checked on the internet to verify if it was really true and to know how he "died" and it was on all sites. But I had to go to work, on the way the radio stations were all talking about Michael Jackson, his music was also on all stations, it made the pain got stronger.
Then I came back to reality and said to myself that we all have to die one day, that life is not forever. This is God's law. But I still was very sad althrough the day, the weeks, I couldn't curb this feeling, I realized that I loved him much more than I thought. I didn't want to watch the Memorial live because I knew I would cry and I didn't want my family to see me cry. But I wanted to see him again and I spent hours watching his interviews, his videos...I finally decided to watch the Memorial and realized that something was fake, a lack of emotion, it was like a show, family was laughing  :shock: . Then a hoax video came on my way and here I am with you "believers" for the great adventure ;)

God Bless You

I had just come home from work and was at my PC when I saw the headline that said MJ had had a heart attack and died.
I was devastated and will fully admit I cried.
A few days ago I stumbled on the 'death hoax' theory and now think MJ is alive.
I hope it's true because part of me always felt that he lived a crappy life, what with the pain and drug addiction and accusations, etc...
I do hope that he's in rehab or somewhere just taking it slow and when he's ready he'll come back to us.
Oh, and I agree with the family's bizarre lack of emotion....and the continued use of present tenses!  The only one who seemed truly upset was Paris.
I don't know. Something's not right here.

Post by: iMJacksonfaN on December 31, 2009, 08:16:00 PM
Okay, I'm being honest now.. Don't hate me.

I was at Cyprus with my family. We had been there for 4 days already, and the first three days I was sick because of swine flue.. When I finally went outside, I took with my cellphone. I laid down in the chair with the pool. My dad asked me to turn on some radio, so we could hear music.

The first thing we hear is "Say Say Say", then they play "Beat It", and some people in the pool says "Ah, listen to them. Some Michael Jackson fans.." They spoke greek on the radio, so I didn't understand anything, except that Michael was singing. Then I said to my family " I wonder why they play this now? Well, he probably just started his concerts.." I was not a very big fan of him (Unfortunateley!!) Then they played Thriller. My mom was in the room, to get the newspaper from yesterday, then my aunt told her that Michael Jackson is dead. She came back and told us, and I was like "Oh my God?!" I just read an article about his perfect health, and the ear operation.. How could he be dead?

I went to the room, and checked my phone.. "I don't know if you know this, but Michael Jackson is dead..." I answered back " I just heared.. Insane!.." and I wasn't a fan at all, but I felt this was a big loss. Later I was going around thinking, why not Madonna instead.. My dad went into the room, and stayed there for the whole day.. I think he really took it hard, because he is a big fan, even he don't talk about him.


Afterwards, when I saw the funeral.. I was thinking, what's wrong with that family? And Michael Jackson isn't even in the casket, so a big LIE.. (Already there I got a bad feeling. It was actually one of the reason why I got so confused of his 'death'.. ) I later found the moving body, and no.. It couldnt be spasm, why was his body stiff without legs and arms?  Now am I so sure he is alive, but if he is dead, then kill me.. I havn't told any in my family that he for sure is alive, cause they would probably think I had serious problems, and needed help.. But.. His family is backing him up, therefor they wont say it's a hoax.. Just play it as Michael wants it. Only friends and family members knows what's going on. Nobody else knows!
Don't believe in media, they just write a 'fantasy' story of their own mind when they hear just a word.



I used to believe that he changed his skin, he was doing bad things to kid because of the thing he did with Prince II, and his nose were plastic and fake.. But I was so wrong! I believed, but I was wrong. We're believe he is alive, and we're right. I know alot about Michael Jackson as person and artist now, and what I've done can't be redone, unfortunateley. But the show must go on.. Michael Jackson is the biggest and best thing that could ever happend to the earth. No one can get bigger or better..

I really love music, and since I came back from Cyprus, I've listened to Michael Jackson 95% of the time, Spotify :D, and my dad has bought me some MJ stuff. 8-) I'm also trying to dance like him, but damn .. It's impossible.  :lol: I'm so sorry Michael, that I didn't support you. But you are always in my heart. People can change their mind, and I'm so glad that I 'found' you.



I'm now here to help, and get help through this possible hoax.. Hope we can heal the world, I want you back, cause you're bad, shamone! I'll be there! Cause this is Thriller, just Beat It. Because They Don't Really Care About Us.

Only real fans are doing their best to make this right, and that's what Michael probably wants! He don't want jokes around him, but real fans to find him.

Oh my, I will always remember the saddest and most terrible day of my life :cry:
I got out of my bed like it was just another normal day, went into the bathroom...everything like always... and like always my mum had turned the radio on in the kitchen. I noticed they were playing a nice song on the radio, but couldn't hear what a song it was... I just noticed in some way that the song was great :?  (It was Earth Song, my mum told me later)
Then I went into the kitched, saying "good morning" to my mum, thinking everything is fine, as she just tells me "Michael Jackson is dead..." And that was the biggest shock in my life, I didn't know what to say, I just had to sit down and said "WHAT???" :shock:  :shock:  :shock:  
And then they repeated it on the radio, and I was so sad... I felt like the hole world was ending and my heart was breaking :cry:  
But I had to go to school, I'm wondering how I was able to go there :?
I went out of the house and I was in a state of shock, I couldn't talk, I couldn't think...
The whole time I was just staring at the air in front of me and when I got home I turned the TV on and watched the news and felt like crying...
In the evening they showed a concert of Michael on TV and I was watching it together with my mum and I was crying...
I couldn't really sleep that night, I was just sitting in front of the TV screen watching Michael's videos. But later my mum urged my to go to bed so I did...
And as I woke up I just felt this terrible pain :(  And in my head there was only one thought: LET THIS BE A DREAM!!
But then I heard on the radio Michael's name and I almost broke down...
Since that day I was crying every day. I didn't go to school when the memorial was, and I was praying that he would come out of the casket somehow :? And when the burial was on TV I sat in front of the screen and cried and cried but I've always had hope that it all was not true :)
So there were several nights I spent on the internet without sleeping at all and in one of them I saw a video on YouTube named "Michael Jackson is alive" and I couldn't resist to watch it... So I'm here today full of hope :)

I was at work and I got a call from my Mom that MJ was rushed to the hospital in full cardiac arrest, That there was no info at that time she called me back after he died. My heart ached I immediatly  thought oh those poor kids and thought of Katherine and Janet epecially and the rest of the family too. I was in a fog for about 3 days just watching the coverage but I did think the ambulance photo was strange because he looked 15 years younger , another thing that striks me as strange when you die your color leaves your face, his color looked just fine in the picture. Then the memorial and Kenny Ortega talking about the tour This is it, the repeated press confrence and then the release of the movie was announced called This is it and I said to someone do you think this is a publicity stunt for the movie? I brushed it off watched the burial and saw this is it. Then I read did you see the clues in the movie and I watched it a second timeand saw them and then some clues at the memoral and burial that I didn't see until being pointed out and I stared to read some of your posts. I will say this weather of not Michael is dead of not he changed my life for the better after his death learning of all the humanitarian efforts he did he would pay for a person's liver transplant if they could not afford it , when he toured he donated money to the local hospital in evert city he stopped in . It made me want to be more like him and do more humanitrian work.I hope he is alive and one day I can shake his hand and tell him thank you for all you have done.

     I remember CNN and Hln's month and a half long coverage of compelte BS especially that tart Jane Velez Mitchell  and being so fed up   I emailed the head honchos and said that Jane needs to be fired she had ice water running through her veins and that she had no regurards that even though he was the  worlds biggest star he was a  a son , a brother and most importanly a father to 3 orphaned children who just lost the only parent they knew. How dare they dig up the bad parts for his children to find out about and I proceded to tell them what I told you of a lot of humanitarian efforts he did along with countless others and why don't they try reporting that.

 After watching the videos that are out and more importanly the legal documents I'm convinced that it was a hoax but I must say I think he is being protected by the FBI especcially whith the death theats coming out in the FBi files time will tell my freinds but I am excited and I think the press owes him an apology

I was at work, bored. So i got on my cell phone, went to twitter just to see what was going on. Kept seeing tweets that MJ was at the hospital, some said he was dead. I called my mom, made her turn on the tv to see what she could find out. Then soon after that i found a radio station that was playing MJ's music non stop. So i listened to that till work was over, then blasted that same radio station all the way home. Once home i turned on MTV, sat there in shock. I came across a video on youtube one day and somehow i got here. Reading, watching and learning everyday.

I had left work early for a doctors appointment. I was in the doctors office when I heard one of the staff members say, "Yeah they are saying Michael Jackson died too." They had been talking about Farrah Facet and then Michael.
 I got up and went over to the girl at the front (who was laughing) and asked what she has said about Michael. She said, "It's on the internet TMZ that Michael Jackson has died." I asked her what happened and she told me that it may a rumor. I thought back to last December when I had heard that MJ was ill and would be dead in six months. I went back to my seat and continued to fill out forms. Then a gentleman that was also waiting went outside and was talking on his cell. He came back in and asked me if I wanted to know about Michael. I said yes what is going on? He said he had just spoken to his wife and she told him it was all over the news that Michael had indeed died of cardiac arrest. I felt my body in slow motion get up and tell the doctors assistant that I needed to leave, cancel my appointment. She looked at me and asked me why. I said, I have to go, I have to get home to my son NOW!
She looked at me as though I were nuts and I said, "Michael Jackson just died!!!!" I have to get home NOW!!! She said, "You have to be kidding me really!" I said, " Do I look like a woman that is F*ing kidding you right now?!!!" I grabbed my medical records and told her I would not be rescheduling because she was cold and laughed about the entire thing.
I tried to make my way outside the building and the gentleman that was in the office followed me out. He asked if I needed help. I was crying so hard I couldn't find my keys. He offered to help me down the stairs and to my car and told me I shouldn't drive. I told him I had to get home to my son immediately. He helped me to my vehicle and I thanked him and called my son. He was crying and screaming, "Mom Mom Michael is gone!!!!!! No Mom it can't be this way no not now!" My heart was breaking I could barely see through my tears. I called my work to tell my friend to pray for me because I wasn't sure I'd make it home. She told me everyone in the hospital came looking for me to see if I was alright. They all know how I feel and think about Michael. I drove and beat the steering wheel of my van so hard I bruised my hands. I screamed all the way home. "Why God Why please not Michael!!!" Somehow I made it to my driveway. I walked in to see my son age 24 on the floor in front of the TV in a fetal position crying and moaning. He was saying why him why Michael why why why God Why. I laid on the floor with him and held him. We cried like that for days. My son had actually heard the news from some moron that knows how close his is to MJ and called him and told him the news without even asking if he were alone or come in person to tell him. It's a long story but there is a personal side to all of this. The point is you don't break news about a loved one that way to someone. It was horrible. Absolutely horrific. I will never forget it and I have been alive long enough to remember when Pres John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Elvis, John Lennon, died. I can tell you where I was when the Space Shuttles blew up and when the Towers fell in New York. Nothing ever felt like this.
I have loved and lost many. It was as if someone had knocked the very life and breath out of planet earth. It was my last one good and wonderful hope. I was devastated. My son well I was worried. People can die from a broken heart you know. We are better now because we believe Michael is still here and very much alive.

I was at my mother's house for a week (She just had surgery and I took care of her)
I started up the pc and wanted to check my emails, then I saw a message on msn.com that said:" Michael Jackson The king of pop died at age 50" I looked at my mum, and I just said: "NO WAY! he did NOT die and I do NOT believe it"  :cry: I almost fell when I wanted to get up and walk to the tv, to see what they said on the news.

Actually...I just don't see him "dead" you know what I mean? Yeah sure when he's old and dies a natural death (Like James Brown) but Mike is too smart to let himself BE killed by some doctor who doesnt even have the licents to give Propofol etc. don't you think?

I was sitting on the bed with my girlfriend and we were eating Subway together. I got a text from a friend saying he had died and I turned the channel. I found a news channel (probably CNN) and they said he was in the hospital, so I corrected my friend via text. I no sooner hit "Send" when they changed the graphic to say DEAD.

I stopped eating.

I put my sandwich in the refrigerator, and sadly -- went off to work to spread the news to my co-workers and customers who didn't know what had happened. :(

It was 11 pm in my country.My friend and I went hiking and we made some amazing photographs for hours.I remember that night so clearly. We where cycling back to my house and talking about Michael and how we are going to push even harder to reach him.So when we finally arrived I loaded the photos to my laptop(really slow one)and I opened TMZ home page (I do it every day)to see if there was any news about him.First it was reported that he had a cardiac arrest and I did not understand what it meant, so I searched for translation and said to my friend not to worry because Mike is fine.And like 10 min later they announced that he had died.I was just screaming..... No..... no... it is not possible ....Mike is not gone ......I do not believe it.So my friend who knows I see future and other things- if I really see him dead? I took his photo  and was totally shaking...I was yelling he is alive ,he is warm  ....not dead.....not dead....it is not true..I was so shocked and just needed to get out and I went for a walk for 3 hours and did not go to sleep that day . Next three weeks I couldn`t eat and think and I was crying 24/7..it was a total blackout..But these visions kept coming...I remember that some days after his ``death`` I had a dream...It was a place where were many people and Mike..Paparazzis were all over him and I tried to reach him..when I finally got close to him I asked what happened ? And he was really serious and said: I can`t tell you ,my lips are hurting.....And 4 months later I had a vision after my tonsil surgery....The doctors  put me to sleep with propofol  :shock:  and after the surgey I woke up ..I was in shock because of what I saw...I saw the golden casket and it was opened...IT WAS EMPTY...I couldnt believe it..So when I got home from the hospital I was sure that Mike is indeed alive.And so here I am..I really believe that if you have an intuition that is so strong...it can`t be wrong.My intuition led me here  ;)

well i remember i found out from this article on the internet. i couldn't really care less back then, because i barely knew who Michael Jackson was. but after i saw people all over the place freaking out about how this man died, and how people were still talking about it a few months after the news, i decided i better check this dude out. i realized how great of a person he was, and how such a person couldn't possibly be gone... then i realized that there were rumors that he was alive, and much more rumors about him than elvis. so now after looking that over, i can clearly state without a doubt, he is alive somewhere. but if i cared about him then like i do now, then i would of certainly gone over the edge...

I was overseas on vacation.  We would drive thru the capitol and I would see a lighted billboard saying This Is It...London with MJ famous shoes... I remember thinking what that was all about and was MJ gonna perform in London and then I remembered wishing I could see it.  A few days later my mom called me from America and the first thing she said was "sweetie, I have bad news...Michael Jackson died today."  That was followed by "WHAT?!" and "HOW?" and "WHAT HAPPEND?"  All she knew at the time is what the news was saying, a heart attack.  She said she would pay attention and let me know.  That night my hubby and I went to the Internet cafe and I saw it was real...I remember feeling shock...disbelief...a weight descended on me...my heart instantly got heavy...I had to pretend it was no big deal...(I was so so so in love with MJ in high school and in college I managed to put that infatuation behind me, I still loved his music and prayed for him in his trial but I was over my school girl crush and infatuation) When I came home and started looking, that old feeling came back...Not like before, but like seeing someone you really loved at one point in your past, seeing them again in your life.  I have to catch myself If I start feeling the way I did as a teenager, I still have to pretend I'm not really so affected, but I am.  I try to stay away from anything to do with GOLD PANTS...LOL!

 I got up and went over to the girl at the front (who was laughing) and asked what she has said about Michael. She said, "It's on the internet TMZ that Michael Jackson has died." I asked her what happened and she told me that it may a rumor. I thought back to last December when I had heard that MJ was ill and would be dead in six months. I went back to my seat and continued to fill out forms. Then a gentleman that was also waiting went outside and was talking on his cell. He came back in and asked me if I wanted to know about Michael. I said yes what is going on? He said he had just spoken to his wife and she told him it was all over the news that Michael had indeed died of cardiac arrest. I felt my body in slow motion get up and tell the doctors assistant that I needed to leave, cancel my appointment. She looked at me and asked me why. I said, I have to go, I have to get home to my son NOW!
She looked at me as though I were nuts and I said, "Michael Jackson just died!!!!" I have to get home NOW!!! She said, "You have to be kidding me really!" I said, " Do I look like a woman that is F*ing kidding you right now?!!!" I grabbed my medical records and told her I would not be rescheduling because she was cold and laughed about the entire thing.
I tried to make my way outside the building and the gentleman that was in the office followed me out. He asked if I needed help. I was crying so hard I couldn't find my keys. He offered to help me down the stairs and to my car and told me I shouldn't drive. I told him I had to get home to my son immediately. He helped me to my vehicle and I thanked him and called my son. He was crying and screaming, "Mom Mom Michael is gone!!!!!! No Mom it can't be this way no not now!" My heart was breaking I could barely see through my tears. I called my work to tell my friend to pray for me because I wasn't sure I'd make it home. She told me everyone in the hospital came looking for me to see if I was alright. They all know how I feel and think about Michael. I drove and beat the steering wheel of my van so hard I bruised my hands. I screamed all the way home. "Why God Why please not Michael!!!" Somehow I made it to my driveway. I walked in to see my son age 24 on the floor in front of the TV in a fetal position crying and moaning. He was saying why him why Michael why why why God Why. I laid on the floor with him and held him. We cried like that for days. My son had actually heard the news from some moron that knows how close his is to MJ and called him and told him the news without even asking if he were alone or come in person to tell him. It's a long story but there is a personal side to all of this. The point is you don't break news about a loved one that way to someone. It was horrible. Absolutely horrific. I will never forget it and I have been alive long enough to remember when Pres John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Elvis, John Lennon, died. I can tell you where I was when the Space Shuttles blew up and when the Towers fell in New York. Nothing ever felt like this.
I have loved and lost many. It was as if someone had knocked the very life and breath out of planet earth. It was my last one good and wonderful hope. I was devastated. My son well I was worried. People can die from a broken heart you know. We are better now because we believe Michael is still here and very much alive.
your story made my cry.  You and your son are the reasons why MJ did what he did...True fans.

oddly enough I was on the TMZ website and I refreshed it and up popped the MJ rushed to hospital story. I just kinda sat there thinking "no way, he gotta be playin" after that I just kept refreshing until the awful TMZ breaking news of his death came up :o . I followed for a few hours and for some odd reason, :idea:  started searching "michael jackson fake death" on the web, it was weird. Like a womans intuition

It was like 11.30 PM here in Sweden and I was looking on the internet for tickets to Cirque du Soleil  when someone, on the Cirque du SoleilsĀ“ homepage, had written that Michael had died. I so beLIEved it was another rumor about him but I turned on CNN and then had the worst night of my life... :(  DidnĀ“t  sleep for a second just sat there in shock watching CNN al night.

I was taking a nap in my room when my dad banged on the door. I yelled "what?" he said, "Michael Jackson is in a coma!!"  I jumped up and ran downstairs to look at the TV. Big and bold it said "Michael Jackson rushed to hospital: cardiac arrest"..or something along those lines. They hadn't said anything about being dead, just that he was in a coma. From that moment I was stuck to the news. Then my Dad comes and says "TMZ says he's already dead and they're just going to keep working on him until his mother shows up" I was like "f*** no!" I was not about to believe that. Then about 15mins later it said "Michael Jackson dead at 50". I started crying!! I was kinda in disbelief. I thought they might just be misinformed like always. Then as the day kept going on it seemed more and more true. I saw all the fans starting to go to the hospital. Then the press conference with Jermaine. I WAS PISSED! Everybody was texting me because everybody that knows me, knows MJ is my love. I didn't do anything that day but watch CNN and check TMZ. It was a LONG day! Then of course I was getting enraged when it seemed like all people wanted to talk about was negative things in his life. I was like areeee youuuu serious?? The man can't even get a DAY?? :cry:

:lol: Funny story.
Well it was my first day of summer school, and I was sort of.. napping..
Then my teacher just bursts into the room and says that Michael died.
Me being a HUGE fan, instantly got a huge knot in my stomach, since that teacher is pretty reliable.
After a while, I started to scream/bawl.
Then at the back of the classroom, a dumbslut belted out "That's what he gets for raping kids."  :evil:
I punched her in the mouth. I got sent to the office, but I didn't care at the moment. There I saw about 4 girls crying and calling home, explaining to their parents what happened. I called my mom, and like 2 minutes later, there she was. She took me out to eat, but I couldn't really.. function. My face was swollen, shirt ripped from fighting, and I was like a mummy. My mom knew better than to talk to me, but she told me, in italian, "I don't think he's dead." It was probably to make me feel better, but I took it seriously.
The next day, my sister showed me Amy's website, and I've been hooked on hoaxing since.

Just woke up and they were playing MJ back-to-back on the radio.  Hubby said 'they only do that when someone's died'.  I switched on the TV news, and there it was.

NO!
i ran outside and tried to catch my breath and calm down with a fag. the whole place was in disbelief and i started crying. and im a normal 19 year old guy i dont .. cry lol

I was at work when a co-worker said Michael Jackson is dead.  I immediately looked at him as though he was kidding because he plays around and he's also 19 years old.  I didn't believe him at all.  I said "Stop playing around Nate!"  Anyway, my break time came at about 6:30pm, I worked in the evening.  I called home and my mother answers.  I said there's talk about Michael Jackson being dead, and my heart was still racing.  My mother's voice cracked and she said he's in a coma.  That was all she knew at that time.  I was beside myself and about to come to tears, but I didn't because I was around my co-workers.  When I got home, I turned on the cnn news and there they said he'd died.  Tears came to my eyes and my voice starting cracking when I was talkinig to my brother.  I was in shocked and in disbelief :(  :(

Well, on Juen 25th I was on KOP forum and I was actually the first to report that Mj was in the hospital. I saw pearl twit about mj being in the hospital and a couple of hours later i heard he was dead, i couldnt stop crying, people was calling me and I had to go school that day. I couldnt even think, I couldnt even smile, I was looking at everybody reactions and they look perfectly fine. i was proabably the only one didnt feel perfectly fine, when I was at school. Later on, I went home I prayed and i did candle light visual for Michael. That's about it!

In bed. The radio woke me up just before the news. I tend to be on-off sleep for the next 20 minutes or so, but not this morning. It was the first thing they said and I was full awake that second. My next thought was who killed him.
I didn't cry then. After June I did cry over him once. It was several weeks later when I saw a certain photograph of him from 2005 court case. It was a closeup, him with a tissue.  It broke my heart.  :cry:  Watching that photo, I came to think of all the purposely-made torture he had to endure - the allegations, the wacko-jacko articles, the lot! It was a cry out of empathy, not mourning, really.

That day, I was home mourning the 1 year anniversary of the death of my infant.  Then in the afternoon I was watching the news when they started reporting Michael's death.  My mourning and agony became twice as intense.  I really believed he died and I cried for two months until I started searching for some kind of hope that Michael wasn't really dead.  That's when I came across Amy's site and now here I am.  This Friday I'll be sad and mourning again, but only for my daughter, because I'm sure Michael is still alive.
