Descripción
Más que un Video clip de Michael Jackson, Ghosts sería un mediometraje protagonizado por el cantante y dirigido por Stan Winston, conocido director de cine y creador de los más asombrosos efectos especiales vistos en una pantalla de cine (Terminator, Parque Jurásico, Iron Man, Aliens)
El clip cuenta la historia de un aterrador Maestro con poderes sobrenaturales, que está siendo obligado por su alcalde a salir de una pequeña ciudad.
La trama del cortometraje y la canción son parte de los intentos del cantante por defenderse ante las acusaciones que se le presentaron a principios de los noventa, representando de manera no muy sutil a personajes que atacaron a Jackson. Considerado por muchos como una copia de Thriller con fantasmas, la verdad es que fuera del elemento sobrenatural ambos videos y canciones son muy diferentes. Ghosts es más elaborado en cuestión de trama, coreografía y efectos especiales. El video y canción tuvieron buena recepción por parte de la crítica y tuvieron un éxito aceptable aunque ya no recibieron mucha promoción posterior por lo que no son muy conocidos actualmente. El coste del video fue de 800.000 dólares (equivalentes a 1,9 millones del año 2009).
La película incluye una serie de rutinas de baile realizadas por Michael Jackson y su "familia" de Demonios. Cada canción de la película fue tomada de los álbumes de Michael Jackson History y Blood on the dance floor (History in the mix).
Letra de la canción en Inglés

There's a ghost down in the hall
There's a ghoul upon the bed
There's something in the walls
There's blood upon the stairs
And it's floating through the room
And there's nothing I can see
And I know its restless tune
Because now it's haunting me
I don't understand it
Don't understand it
Aoww!
There's a thumping in the floor
There's a creep behind the door
There's a rocking in the chair
But there's no one sitting there
There's a ghostly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coffin nearly open
Where a restless soul is floating
Don't understand it
(Got a ghost, got a break in the walls)
(Got a ghoul, got a break in the halls)
(Got to see it, want to)
Don't understand it
(Got a ghost, got a break in the walls)
(Got a ghoul, got a break in the halls)
(Got to see it, want to)
(Got a ghost, got a break in the walls)
(Got a ghoul, got a break in the halls)
(Got to see it, want to)
(Got a ghost, got a break in the walls)
(Got a ghoul, got a break in the halls)
(Got to see it, want to)
And who gave you the right to scare my family
And who gave you the right to shake my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree
They put a knife in my back
Shot an arrow in me
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
The ghost of jealousy
There's a thumping in the floor
There's a creep behind the door
There's a rocking in the chair
But nobody's sitting there
There's a ghostly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coffin nearly open
Where a restless soul is floating

(Got to see it, want to)
Don't understand it

And who gave you the right to scare my family
And who gave you the right to scare my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree
And who gave you the right to take intrusion to see me
And who gave you the right to shake my family
And who gave you the right to hurt my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree
You put a knife in my back
Shot an arrow in me
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
A suckin ghost of jealousy
And who gave you the right to scare my family
And who gave you the right to scare my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree
And who gave you the right to take intrusion to see me
And who gave you the right to shake my family
And who gave you the right to hurt my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree
You put a knife in my back
Shot an arrow in me
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
The ghost of jealousy
Come on
But it's dynamite
A peice of mine
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
