Urban explorers who visited Michael Jackson's Neverland shared 'creepy' discovery

Somewhat unsurprisingly, Michael Jackson's infamous Neverland Ranch unnerved a pack of 'urban explorers' when they snuck into its abandoned grounds back in 2007.

Stretched over 2,700 acres in Santa Barbara County, and bordering California's Los Padres National Forest, this private amusement park was Jackson's home between 1988 and 2005.

But after its doors were caved in by the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department in 2003 - child molestation allegations were first doing the rounds at this point - the King of Pop fled the estate, owing to this 'violation'.

With the valley ranch on ice, so to speak, this attracted the fascination of some anonymous photographers, who spoke to VICE about their findings for a 2014 article.

Asked about the weirdest sights they saw on location, one of them revealed that they'd never told anyone what freaked them out the most before that interview.

"The strangest thing to me was the little boy in pyjamas sitting on the moon logo, everywhere," they replied.

"Like, it amazes me how much it resembles the DreamWorks logo. That thing was painted on the ground, like, 60 feet wide. It was on the signs, on the bumper cars, it was on the coach station where they parked the coach, one on the ground.

"It's got a little boy sitting on it in those footie pyjama things," added another of the trespassers.

"The other thing was that he collected memorabilia that had his likeness on it. He had Pepsi bottles and books and other promotional material in boxes.

"He also had stacks and stacks of fan mail, and one piece that really grabbed me was the prosecuting attorney of his molestation case with devil's horns drawn on. That was just laying on a tabletop—maybe a Pac-Man table?"

Jackson, who died aged 50 in 2009, always said he was innocent in response to such horrendous claims.

Meanwhile, the explorers remembered spotting a 'Children of the World' food and drinks menu in the mansion's kitchen.

"Everything in there was geared toward children," one noted.

"That menu, on a permanently-printed chalkboard with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and macaroni and cheese, that sticks out in my mind. And the strange hodgepodge of s**t that he had bought that didn't have any relation to his house. His entire house was filled with these expensive looking, one-off, semi-artistic things."

Apparently, Jackson also owned 'weird mirrors' placed on a 'four-foot by four-foot platform', stationed next a 'Roman statue-looking thing' and an eight-foot oil painting of the man himself.

Despite finding the whole place a bit haunting, the photographers viewed their Neverland visit as one big adventure.

They reflected: "Going somewhere that nobody's ever seen, and seeing all of this stuff, it was right after he left the country because of the molestation charges. So in our mind, it was like looking at everything more from that angle."
