Horror story Michael Jackson wrote for kids
HIS NIGHTMARE PLAY ABOUT CHILD-ABUSER AND SERIAL KILLER
TORMENTED Michael Jackson wrote a chilling horror story about a CHILD ABUSER and SERIAL KILLER starring HIS OWN KIDS.
The sickening tale - called Kids on Swings - is a nightmare vision of Prince Michael II and Jacko's daughter Paris falling into the clutches of a fiend who slaughters children with a 'sling blade'.
He stabs Prince, sending him into a coma as they try to escape his clutches.
The King of Pop penned the story when he visited the UK in 2006 - a year after he was acquitted of child abuse charges.

It gives a warped insight into the tormented mind of the entertainer who suffered repeated beatings at the hands of his own violent father Joe.
The story is written in a childlike scrawl in black and blue pens on the back of letters and pictures of an Irish Georgian Castle.
Screams
It was found among documents and memorabilia handed to the News of the World.
Written as a play, it tells how Paris, 11, and seven- year-old Prince Michael II are playing on swings until the boy becomes 'disinterested' and runs off.
"He runs to the brook skipping past rocks silhouetted against a crystal lake," Jacko wrote.
A pack of wild dogs then chase the pair as Paris screams for her 'DAD.'
In the next disturbing scene, the infants spot a man working in a field with a sling blade. "We see him working but we can't see his face," Jackson wrote.
The badly spelled story then takes a sinister turn as the identity of the fiend is revealed.
The character of Prince tells his sister: "He murdered his wife and no one ever sees his kids cause he keeps them tied to the bed like his wife, before he murdered her. He starves them FIRST then he murdered them, Paris."
His terrified sister admits to being scared before asking how he killed them. "He did it with a sling blade Paris," he adds. The 13-page story is believed to have been written while the eccentric entertainer was doped up on a cocktail of powerful narcotic pain killers.
The handwriting has been verified as Jackson's by top graphologist Erik Rees who has been observing the star's writing for 30 years and says it shows signs of a "split personality".
The tale was penned at a time when Jacko's behaviour became increasingly erratic and fears were raised for the safety of his three youngsters.
In the next scene Prince and Paris are in bed - too frightened to sleep. A twisted passage then describes how the monster got a facial scar.
"He starved a man for 2 weeks," it reads. "Just before killing him they had a fight. The guy he was trying to kill grabbed the knife to attack him. And he cut him over the eyes.
"He then got scared and ran into what they call the endless BLACK FOREST . . . he was never found again. Because they say there is no way out of the endless Black Forest."
The bizarre tale - which may have been read to Jacko's kids as a bedtime story - sees the two youngsters venture into the 'Black Forest' to visit the 'crazy man.'
Shaking with fear, the children peer through the window of his cottage before a spine-tingling scene in which he creeps up behind them.
Stabs
He stabs them as they try to escape his clutches and Prince has an asthma attack and stops breathing.
The monster then hunts them down in the forest before Prince apparently dies with his sister's head on his 'lifeless chest.'
In the final twist, the man carries Prince back to the cottage and holds hands with Paris. She is described as feeling 'safe and loved by him.'
The man "carrys Prince to his bed and puts the cover over the sick boy" before sitting in a chair and watching him. When her brother finally awakes from his coma, Paris calms the traumatised boy as she tells him the man "won't hurt you".
The bizarre closing lines read: "He pulls the Toys from his jacket. What was broken is now mended, Fixed Paris. He didn't steal our toys Prince he fixed them. KIDS are happy to see their fixed toys again.
"Man gets up, walks to the door right before he exits Prince says thank you they exchange smiles and we see him."

this was probably an idea he had for another music video he wanted to produce. Shame he died...this story is interesting and I would have loved to see it performed
By carlo. Posted October 10 2009 at 2:47 AM.
the man is a genius! i would like to make this as a short film.... come on..Michael loves terror movies..this is just a script for a movie or a video...and i think he though about prince and paris as a starring roles....
he he he he i really love this script!
By oscar. Posted September 12 2009 at 5:58 PM.
Hm... sounds like either he was really high (which doesnt mean anything, i mean it's neither here or there to me), or he was brainstorming about a video, movie idea, book, comic... whatever...
I kinda have to go with brainstorming, since it's scrawled like that, on the back of things... That's what I do sometimes, when I write my comics - ideas wont wait for you to be ready for 'em, y'know?
Does kinda sound like a cool and gory video, with a twist ending. Thriller 2.0 *G*

unrealized music video when is it going to be realized?
By sewasew. Posted August 2 2009 at 2:02 AM.
hahaha give me a break, this story is prob some of the movie ideas that michael had, he always talked about doing movies. search on youtube for old interviews he did when he was around 15-18 years old, and u'll see he wanted to do movies, and he also said the same during the 80's and 90's , i dont see anything wrong with this story , and as some1 else said i do belive it's out of context .... He did great stories, so i do hope some of his director friends could make a movie out of this story or at least a shortfilm, it would be interesting... r.i.p mj & 2pac best ever <3

Everyone suddenly 'knows' all this stuff about him because he is no longer here to defend himself. Even if this is his handwriting he could have written it for a number of reasons, but its more of a story if its seen as evil. His fans are not to blame for his demise, he loved his fans and they loved him. The people responsible are those closest to him that wouldnt let any help get through for the sake of control and profits. When a drug addict gets to a certain point they cannot help themselves they need people to step in for their sake. The trials took their toll, I dont think much of his financial advisers, where were they when he was getting into so much debt, the record companies, the doctors etc etc the list goes on - did anyone close to him ever dare to step off the bandwagon to look at what they were doing to this tortured soul or helping him to help himself. The answer of course has to be no because he is dead.
By Lesley. Posted July 22 2009 at 12:14 PM.
Although the story is taken out of context...it sounds like it centers around a man who took the kids toys. After their toys are missing they hear rumors and have crazy stories of this same man who is only trying to give their toys back because he fixed them? So they're scared and they don't understand him...but all he wanted to do was make them happy...makes sense to me...sounds a little bit like a backwards, horror, autobiography. He did have a flare for the dramatic and was an amazing entertainer.
By Mandi. Posted July 17 2009 at 11:21 PM.
God's gift..amazing.. RIP MJ... you will be always remembered by you music and dance. God Bless and look out for your children always they will be the goods hands of your mother.
By condix. Posted July 12 2009 at 2:09 PM.
Keep one thing in mind, this is a man who LOVES horror stories and has made movie like videos like "Thriller".
This could for all i know be his ideas for a new video for one of his songs.
Things taken out of centxt can be manipulated into anything you want, dont be so quick to judge.....
By Malk. Posted July 12 2009 at 10:02 AM.
That is Michael's handwriting alright. I am very sad that no-one got him any proper help and instead just kept supplying him drugs that messed up his mind. The second trial totally killed his spirit and did him in.
By Jo. Posted July 10 2009 at 4:12 PM.
I wish people would leave him alone, he was a beautiful man regardless of all the did he/didnt he's. it pains me that the media are trying to make his death as complicated as his life, it is his time to rest now, please leave him alone, he should be remembered for his beautiful music, sexy dance routines and caring nature, not this characture that he has been portreyed as, it makes me sad to think that kids my age and younger (im 16) will mostly remember him not for his music, but as "wacko jacko" maybe if the media didnt create such a disgusting image of him he'd be still with us today. rest in peace michael

Michael,we all love you forever!You are the king of pop,no one can catch up with you!Although you have gone,you still live in our heart!I want to tell you that you are not alone because we will all pray for you!!Michael,I love you.I love you.I love you!!!!!

leave the poor man alone, he did nothing but spread love and happiness so people shud stop picking at every little detail of his life. he was a good man with a beautiful soul. people seem 2 4get that YES he is a legend, but he was also a brother, son and most importantly...a daddy. so people need 2 let him rest in peace and give his family space 2 grive. love u always michael...love u xxxxxx
By kate lighton. Posted July 4 2009 at 5:39 AM.
In my opininion that is NOT true! People don't believe in that nonsense, he did not write this story, i think somebody wanted that everybody would think he was insane, smb just have plan him to look maniac father, but don't let humiluate him , you know he loved them on top of love, and i just remember him interview in 2004 then he was saying it's circus hapening. So, please respect him. RIP, MJ.
By Ex. Posted July 3 2009 at 8:55 PM.
Maybe he was just writing it down to remember for some reason...? You can't judge him if you don't know his reasons for doing it. I doubt that it was to read to his kids as a bedtime story though.
By Jasmine. Posted July 3 2009 at 12:23 AM.
I fell in love w/ the guy overnight. its incredible. you either like him (not only the young/old times but BOTH) or you don't. no gray area.
- To me he seems like a mad scientist trying to balance out the persona the world sees and the troubles churning inside of him. Keeping it cool. Like one of them great composers; Mozart, Beethoven, etc. I think he worries too much and sometimes doesn't worry at all. Sound like manic depression??
By MJ Lives OOn. Posted July 2 2009 at 4:54 PM.
Mike was talented but lets be honest he was strange.....and if he didnt have all that money for back door payouts he would have been locked up a longtime ago !. Rest in peace thou ...
By SWds . Posted July 2 2009 at 6:19 PM.
Michael Jackson made me feel happy to be alive. Just knowing someone like him existed gave many people hope. I've never seen anyone do all the things Michael Jackson could do. He gave of himself to the world and he was the last great miracle of modern days. I am so thankful to have been around while he was here among us. I never believed all the rumors that were spread about him. His life is not the world's business to judge, either. To those of us who love him, Michael Jackson will live on and continue to be an example to us all. What he has created will never be equal to anything else, surpassed by anything else, and his greatness will not be extinguished.

By Kaah Abreu. Posted June 30 2009 at 11:26 AM.
so tragic for Michael and everyone who loved him. He was a musical genius and a tortured soul. Such a complicated life. Don't blame the people around him for his untimely death, because when someone is in this deep and has all this power, you can't make them do anything they don't want to do. so sad...
By tangledweb. Posted June 30 2009 at 3:02 AM.
You really do see just how low some people can stoop when someone dies - the man has died. He was acquited of any wrongdoing by a court of law, yet in the wake of his passing, more of these vultures come out and try to paint the man as a monster. A man who can no longer defend himself - how very convenient!
Kids love scary stories; who are we to read something out of context and turn it into something just to spark controversy?!

so what. its a story. kids love stories especially when theyre in em! stop trying to make michael out to be a monster!
By guttabutta. Posted June 29 2009 at 3:27 AM.
I HAVE always and WILL always be a Michael Jackson fan...His music and moves, gave me a numerous amount of memories, feelings and thoughts of my own, about the world and the people in it...He shared with me many different views and images of people, places and things, I otherwise would have never known....I truly believe Michael Jackson went the places he went...Did the things he did...Gave the things he gave, etc...not because he was greedy, hateful, harmful,weird, etc. But ONLY because he was a person with a big heart, open arms and a Soul that shinned brighter than the sun itself....(How many other Millionaires, Billionaires,etc. do you know that took time out of their lives to fly around the world and to help feed, cloth, and hold those less fortunate?) (In my opinion...Not as many as we should!!) God Bless you Michael and Thank You!!! I will continue to pray for your children, that they are able to stay together and live a happy and fulfilling life....
By Allision Jackson. Posted June 29 2009 at 3:34 AM.
I am a believer in Michael, in all the good he stands for. I believe that he had nothing but LOVE for ALL children. What people need to realize is that people have a mental age as well as a, i guess you could say physical age. If you listen to interviews of him, as well a people who knew him, you would realize that you are not dealing with a 50 yr old "man" ... he was truley a peter pan that never grew up. Probably due to abuse, as well as lack of a childhood. The story was probably composed out of anger & hurt, side effects of perscriptions, movies, immuturity, as well as his own fears of bad things happing to his children.
By sarah. Posted June 29 2009 at 1:39 AM.
What's sad is that the author of this article never once mentioned that the story Jackson scribbled out resembled Harper Lee's (1962) book and movie "To Kill A Mockingbird" with Boo, Scout and Scout's brother!
By Vida in Texas!. Posted June 29 2009 at 1:00 AM.
Same old! all the vultures waiting to give there half truths to the media for megga money anything they say will do if the price is right, even the loving nanny who weve heard very little about over the years is already on her way to the bank so I say SHUT UP ALL OF YOU and let michael rest in peace AND think what your lies? will do to HIS children not yours debbie rowe or Nanny ?
By haze. Posted June 28 2009 at 9:58 PM.
I just hope his kids can continue to have a good childhood. The nanny Grace should stop being silly. The best she can do for this kids is apply to work as their nanny as the kids are close to her but she should stop saying they are her kids!!being a nanny doesnt mean u should get custody!! Poor michael seems to have been surrounded by traitors and opportunists.
By sara. Posted June 28 2009 at 6:05 PM.
To me, it sounds he felt he was portrayed as the evil murdering man in this story by the media. People were accusing him of molesting children, etc., which hurt him deeply. He wasn't molesting children; he loved them so much.
By luvumichael. Posted June 28 2009 at 5:36 PM.
I cannot believe some readers appear too immature to comprehend this story! There are two faces of a coin; and this is one of those stories about Michael. Moreover, we need to learn how media work and what makes news. At least, this is news; and it does not have to be GOOD news!
By Ansbert Ngurumo. Posted June 28 2009 at 3:59 PM.
Michael Jackson was a "LEGEND" he did not diserve to die, he was a kind and genurs man like no other.

'The story is written in a childlike scrawl' hmm guess i have a childlike scrawl too.
By James. Posted June 28 2009 at 12:56 PM.
Damned if you do-damned if you dont springs to mind here. No matter what he wrote-did-or didn't do the media always made an alteria motive to his actions.
When Michael made the thriller video nothing was made about that in fact it is classed as genius - doesn't that show ghouls death and rotting corpses.
Couldn't he just be a good horror movie maker like H G WELLS? or even STEVEN SPIELBERG. Many good writers admit to making the characters from people they know.
We all know his pasT, the abuse he suffered at the hands of his father, his lost childhood and his every changing personal appearance. But none of us know what went on behind closed doors, who are we to judge him without all the evidence in front of us. Let his family grieve in peace-allow his children to remember him the way he was- and not as the media would portray him.
Stop guessing a tale and assuming what-why he wrote and the deep hidden agenda that is behind it, it could quite simply be an idea for another great song-video.
Who has the proof it was Michael's work, and not him taking notes for some one else? Michael being the genius he was, and the perfectionist portrayed would surely have written this on UNUSED paper.
The truth is he was a genius within the music industry. To have known the man would be to know the truth-and none of us did!
By Sharon wallace. Posted June 28 2009 at 12:00 PM.
Hmmmm has anyone thought that if he was having trouble sleeping he might have had bad dreams and wrote them down?
Why do we have to sully his name any further?
He's dead. Can we have no respect for him now?
RIP Michael
By Emma. Posted June 28 2009 at 11:32 AM.
I think he was writing out a story the kids were making up.... when MY boys were little, i would do this with them. They would both make up different parts, they would act it out & someone always died or got knocked out etc. There was always "a man" and sometimes I would write it out as fast as I could<shorthand would have been helpful> just to be able to remember what the story was about & I would use my best split personality Scrawling Uneven psycho lookin handwriting... A few are in their babybooks written on scraps of paper. They actually enjoyed reading them now as older teenagers.
The story seems very similar to what i have...
RIP is redundant considering we all know we'll never let him... THIS IS SAD

By kate. Posted June 28 2009 at 11:12 AM.
Please remember him for his music, not these stupid stories that is going around about him, I pray for his children, I feel very sorry for them, he was a good dad, and the children loved him.
Rest in gods care Michael
By marilyn. Posted June 28 2009 at 10:43 AM.
Genius in his music he may have been,but I never believed his innocence,it was never proved,it would have cost him less to clear his name but money talks. And does anyone actually listen/believe anything Uri Geller says?Can someone remind me what he is actually `famous` for apart from bending spoons?He seems to `know` a lot about MJs personal life and is happy to drone on...and on...etc but when asked on the news when he last spoke to him he said,I dont want to discuss personal things!In other words not for a long time!MJ had too many oddballs like him feeding him things in his already troubled mind,I dont think there was anyone `normal`,including his family that was ever there for him and that is sad.

By Susan Bennett. Posted June 28 2009 at 10:08 AM.
Oh come on......the man should be remembered for the musical genius that he was, his music will live on long after we're gone and forgotton. All these "stories" in the press, all these people that are selling to the press are after the same thing now they always were, to take advantage and to cash in, no wonder the poor guy ended up like he did. Michael Jackson was a legend, his music was second to none.....and thats all there is to say. My prayers are with his children. RIP MJJ -x-
