Michael Jackson Spotted at a Memphis Burger Queen

Normally a regular stomping ground in life and a documented posthumous haunt for Elvis, a Union Avenue Burger Queen in Memphis, Tennessee was the site of a reported Michael Jackson sighting yesterday afternoon.


Identified by at least five former members of Jackson's fan club, all said they noticed the slight figure sitting alone at a picnic table outside the restaurant adjacent to the drive through lane. Though the lane prohibited anyone from pulling over to take a closer look, the husky but devoted female fans swore that it was the previously reported dead pop star.

"It was him for sure", says Nev Erlaid, the witness with the most hair covering her eyes. "I saw the black loafers and white socks, the skinny black jeans. I could even see the oversized mirrored sunglasses hanging on his pointed nose under his hooded sweatshirt.". Another witness claims that the mysterious figure looked back when she yelled Michael's name and heard a faint reply, "He, he, he".

Conspiracy theorists and Jackson fanatics cling to the hope, thought they will call it fact, that Jackson is still alive. With bankruptcy looming and an onslaught of pending legal action in 2008, one theorist claims, "What better way to ditch your responsibilities and jump start your previously released record sales. The Jackson estate is rolling in money now."

Cloaking Jackson's funeral procedures and burial didn't help matters either. There was no public viewing or any external verification that Jackson's body was finally interred. One reporter furthered the speculation about the legitimacy of the sighting by making a connection from the location of the Burger Queen to surrounding businesses. "I noticed that the picnic area has a direct view of the Sunny Morning Day Care Center playground, right next door." Says Memphis Standard beat writer Ivan Tahedlyne.

Once the initial news story broke, other sightings were reported around the Memphis area, all carrying the same description of the skinny hooded man, doing the moonwalk, periodically spinning on his heels and yelling, "Ooooohhh".
