These two programmes, both presented by broadcaster and Jackson fan June Sarpong, aimed to give fans a final chance to connect with their hero, himself a firm believer in psychic ability. World-renowned psychic medium Derek Acorah, whose high profile on screen séances had previously been restricted to historical and mythical figures led proceedings in Michael Jackson: The Live Séance, an hour long live special from a secret location familiar to, and previously inhabited by, Jackson and where the famed psychic medium attempted to contact the music legend.

Michael Jackson: The Search For His Spirit takes fans on a biographical journey of the music legend delving deeper into both his psyche and his inspirations, and previewing some of the tactics and triggers that would feature in the séance. Sarpong, is joined by Bobby Marchesso, one of America’s leading psychics, and close friends of Jackson including Thriller video co-star Ola Ray, Ian Halperin, author of the controversial Michael Jackson biography, Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson, and his spiritual healer Reverend June Gatlin.
