I watched this programme and the place Michael lived is in the center of Ireland and its also in a very spiritual place. They researched the history of the area and also it is an area where pagan rituals were celebrated. There is a hill at the back of the house that is very spiritual. Because a lot of these rituals were celebrated there.
They showed the room where Michael stayed in he was there for 5 months with his children and they went to school there. No press knew he was there. It was a great time for the family. as a person he was kind there was no airs or graces on him at first he didn't know he could trust the people he was was but realised he could and Michael became great friends with the family there.
Michael fell in love with Coolatore and what was supposed to be a months stay it became almost nine months. After a few weeks there he was eating well he was feeling better. The kids were settling in again and all of a sudden Michael began writing again.
Michael was in the perfect place. In the grounds here the house was a world class recording studio which the owner Paddy Dunning owned. Michael recorded over 100 songs there. None of which have been released. The owner of the house seen a normal gentle person. According to the papers Michael was in France getting a sex change while he was really in Ireland reading the papers with the owner.
Michael Jackson considered it to be one of the best places in the world.
Ray the taxi driver worked with Michael Jackson for 5 months. He said that Michael was a softly spoken gentle person. There was an aura in his presence he was a very pleasent and friendly man. One of the images that sticks in his mind of Michael Jackson wearing wellington boots in a rain coat and walking in the fields with his children on horse back. He has a love for the area. The places like Hill of Uisneach that he went to see he realized it was a spiritual place from druid times. It may have helped Michael be at peace with himself from being in the area.

No they didn't but from what I can remember Michael returned for James Browns funeral and he stayed in the US after that. Myself and some fans are thinking of staying there. The house is now a hotel although its very expensive to stay there and June is already booked up

I think the owner has children. Grace the nanny came and saw how they worked there and noticed the food been grown there and liked it. Some days later Michael and his family arrived along with Grace. Yes they made it into a hotel since Michael lived there. It was a guest house before. But now its a self catering accomodation. Because of that is costs more. The guy who owns it also has a world class recording studio to maybe that was another reason for going there also it is a rural area. its very remote and hard to find. Its about € 1,500 druing the week and €1,000 at weekends.
