Has anyone debunked the Michael Jackson ghost video yet?

What's there to debunk? Just ignore it and not give it the air of discussion it wants. – Richard Craig Oct 19 at 14:30

"Based upon the angle of the light and the motion of the shadow, it is just likely that someone walked briefly in front of a light." http://skepticalteacher.wordpress.com/2009/07/06/the-ghost-of-michael-jackson/

It is just a shadow - a far more simple explanation considering there were lights and cameras and people around - not a ghost.

People really want to believe in ghosts. They will interpret common occurrences in an uncommon way if they are primed with a preferred explanation. Most ghost hunters are primed to use the paranormal explanations to feed their own interests (and that of the media or viewers).

There is nothing to debunk. If the video is untouched, it is probably the shadow of someone walking in part of the house (or outside) that is not visible on camera.
