A man claimed to have seen Michael Jackson while traveling on a bus on his way home, unleashing a wave of theories on social media.
In the viral video, an elderly passenger appears with a striking resemblance to the late singer: he is wearing glasses, headphones, and remains seated looking out the window. When he notices he is being recorded, he seems annoyed and even tries to cover the camera with his hand.
The images led thousands of users to wonder whether the “King of Pop” could still be alive, a theory that has circulated for years since his death in 2009. However, later fact-checks concluded that the video was not real, but had been created with artificial intelligence.
Even so, the striking resemblance of the alleged passenger was enough to turn the clip into one of the most talked-about videos of recent weeks.
