In one of the more bizarre media events surrounding Michael Jackson’s death, on Friday British television network Sky 1 will broadcast a live séance with the singer’s spirit.

In a special “intimate and unique” hour-long event — dubbed “Michael Jackson: The Live Séance” — British psychic Derek Acorah will attempt to contact Jackson’s spirit, with the hope of giving the King of Pop’s fans the opportunity “to connect with their hero one last time.”

“There is an insatiable appetite to find out more about Michael Jackson,” Stuart Murphy, Sky 1’s director of programs told Yahoo UK earlier this month. “He was an extraordinary figure and the curiosity surrounding his life — and his death — stretches well beyond fans of his music.”

It’s unclear just how Acorah — best known to British audiences for his long-running paranormal TV series “Ghost Towns” — plans on contacting Jackson’s spirit, or how fans’ messages to the late King of Pop will be included in the show, but according to an article in British trade publication Broadcast, Acorah will lead the proceedings “from a secret location familiar to, and previously inhabited by, Jackson.”

A spokesperson for Sky 1 did not respond to MTV News’ request for comment on the program, and messages left for TwoFour Broadcast, the company producing the Jackson séance, were not returned by press time.

“Michael Jackson: The Live Séance” will air at 10 p.m. GMT on Sky 1, and is the second half of a progam examining the singer’s life and death. From 9-10 p.m., the network will air “Michael Jackson: The Search for His Spirit,” which, according to Sky’s program guide, “takes fans on a journey celebrating the life of the troubled, but talented star.” American psychic Bobby Marchesso and Jackson’s “Thriller” video co-star, Ola Ray, are also featured on the show.
