Ruby Marriott, 18, had been enjoying herself on the first night of a family holiday in Ayia Napa, Cyprus, when her evening of fun ended in tears as a Michael Jackson impersonator performed in the bar they were in.
Ruby's huge fear of the King of Pop hit hard, and a video by sister Macey, 19, shows Ruby crying and unable to look at the musician. The video went viral with more than nine million views, and Ruby, a student from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, has opened up about what exactly terrifies her so much about Michael Jackson.
She said: "It all started when I was about five years old. My sister and my cousin used to show me creepy edited videos of him that people made and conspiracy theories that he’s alive, like photos of him in the background of photos and in people's windows.
