KOMPAS.com - Michael Jackson is annoyed he was not buried alongside Marilyn Monroe, according to a medium. Derek Acorah claims he was contacted by the star during a televised seance and reduced fans to tears with his account of the singer adapting to spiritual life.

Acorah said the singer wished he had been laid to rest by his icon Marilyn Monroe. He claimed Michael Jackson was speaking through him and said: 'I wished to lie alongside her. I suppose it's of no consequence.'

He then told fans around the table that Jackson felt it was 'paramount' to receive their love. Later,  the medium, who has previously attempted to contact figures such as Guy Fawkes, said Jackson was spending time with his grandparents.

He said: 'I'm only now starting to adjust to my spiritual life'. One fan on the Sky1 show said: 'I looked into Derek's eyes and it was him.'

A Twitter seance on Hallowe'en also claimed to have contacted Jackson, who died aged 50 in June. Psychic Jayne Wallace claimed Jackson was singing Heal the World when he was contacted and that he was sorry he had let down fans by not carrying out his This Is It tour.

Pictures of Neverland released shortly after the singer's death were said to feature a ghostly figure which some fans claimed was the star himself. Jackson had a statue of Monroe, who died in 1962, in his home and was said to have been fascinated by celebrity tragedy.
