Could George Michael’s House Be Haunted?

Melanie — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 17:00:57 +0000

A number of articles are discussing possible paranormal activity in George Michael neighborhood.

One article, Ghost hunters tell George Michael his Highgate home may be haunted, said:

Ghosthunter Mickey Gocool, who has been investigating spirits from the other side for more than a decade, said: “Highgate has one of the highest levels of paranormal activity in the country and George Michael’s home is precisely the kind of historic house that might have activity.

“Although there is no real knowing from the outside whether a house has a lot of paranormal activity, but from my experience I can get a sense of things.

“Everyone feels it, you walk into a room and it is a bit spooky, you hair stands on end, that is what it is like sensing a spirit.”

A second article, Ghostbusters want to go-go to George Michael’s pad, said:

Chief investigator Micky Gocool, 46, would like George to invite him in to explore any “unexplained activity” with his ghostbusting tools.

He said: “I don’t know if George would be interested, but I might be able to answer his questions. I think on a personal level he would be curious, but because of his profile he might not be as keen.

“This is a major thing in the world of celebrities. Lady Gaga has her own team of investigators when she comes to England. Will Smith, Robbie Williams and Adele do too.”

A third article, George Michael spooked by ghost busters outside Highgate pad, said:

Mr Gocool, from Lordship Lane in Wood Green, said: “I quite often see George Michael in Highgate, I have known him for what seems like a hundred years.

“He is a really nice guy, but I think he must have been surprised when more people were talking to us than him.”

Cindy Crawford recently posted on Facebook:

This was part of a Rolling Stone shoot. We did hair and makeup before Herb got to set. He didn’t even recognize me when he arrived – - I think he thought I was one of the photo assistants. We were inspired by George Michael.

New Song “White Light” Is about George Michael’s Near-Death Experience

Melanie — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 00:15:28 +0000

George Michael has taken to Twitter again to tell his lovelies about the new song, “White Light,” he is writing.

GOOD MORNING MY LOVELIES !!!

I’ve been a busy boy in the studio this week, mixing symphonica and finally ready to write about what happened to me in Vienna…..

And how grateful I am to be given another chance to live and breathe alongside you all in this wonderful world that we share…

You may recall my reference to those strange individuals who took the time to pray for my death as I lay in my hospital bed back in November

But don’t think I don’t realise how many of you out there prayed for my recovery. I thank you all from the deepest part of my soul xxx

And i will repay your unending kindness the only way I know how. With music.

Yesterday I began to write a song called “White Light”. It’s for all of you, for everyone who prayed for me, for every one of you who has ..

…prayed for me, for every person who has stopped me in the streets to ask me how I’m doing, you have made me feel so blessed.

And I promise you it’s a blinder.

Possible Duet with Adele

Melanie — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 02:07:16 +0000

The Mirror is reporting that George Michael plans to duet with Adele.

My source tells me: “George is working on his album for the first time since his life-threatening illness and he’s in great shape.

“It is no secret that he adores Adele. He even left his boyfriend Fadi Fawaz in Australia for three days while he flew in to present Adele with her Brit.

“They’ve become pals since then and are talking about doing something together.

“He is very supportive of British talent and he likes it that Adele keeps it real.”

In the past, George has collaborated with Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston and Mary J Blige. Now he has set his sights on Tottenham’s finest Adele, who cleaned up at the Grammys.

My mole adds: “Adele has been an admirer of George’s tunes for as long as she can remember and was so touched that George presented her Brit award.”
