With the recent release of the Michael Jackson documentary Leaving Netherland, The National ENQUIRER is digging into the late pop icon’s deepest and darkest secrets.
A book published about Jackson in 2006 points to the singer suffering a psychotic multiple-personality disorder.
It is the same deadly mental condition portrayed in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho flick, in which shower-stabbing motel owner Norman Bates carries out murders dressed as his mother.
The illness would have allowed Jacko to carry out decades of child abuse with zero guilt as he would have had a separate “identity” while preying on kids.

Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Margo Jefferson opens her book on the star — titled On Michael Jackson — with the chilling statements: “Think of his mind as a funhouse ... and Neverland as a circuslike prison.”

Margo says his obsession with figures with secret sides to their personalities — including Dracula — may have originated in childhood, when his dominating dad Joe Jackson tormented his kids by waking them up for rehearsal dressed in Halloween masks, then laughed at their screams and tears.

The writer added that as Jackson’s obsession with monsters deepened, he transformed into popular culture’s most famous split personality figures, including Jekyll and Hyde –— and Oscar Wilde’s Dorian Gray.

She says Michael’s fixation on carving up his face with plastic surgery, making himself androgynous and portraying himself as having split personalities in videos such as "Thriller" — in which he morphs into a werewolf — are all evidence of a schizophrenic character.

Margo concludes that by 2005 — when Jacko was on trial for allegedly molesting Gavin Arvizo — it was obvious he had been swallowed by psychosis.
The writer said: “His double, whoever or whatever it was, seemed to have triumphed."
“But who is Michael Jackson’s double? Is he a good man or a protector? Or pedophile? Child star afraid of aging, or a psychotic freak/pervert/sociopath? What if he is all of these things?”

The National ENQUIRER can also chillingly reveal Jackson’s suspected schizophrenia led him to speak in multiple voices — like Hitchcock’s Norman Bates’ habit of imitating his dead mother.
Jackson’s former bodyguard Matt Fiddes — who handled the star’s security when he was in the UK — told us: “Michael may have had that soft, high-pitched voice in public. But in private, it was a deep, manly voice, and he would use it to talk about women he’d seen on the street and say what he wanted to do to them sexually.”
