Neverland Ranch was closed by authorities in 2006 after Michael Jackson, who was lying low in Bahrain after being cleared of molestation charges, failed to pay employees. A few years later it went into foreclosure. In the process, the pop star’s private Disneyland degenerated into a ghost town of an estate.

So of course a team of four urban explorers broke in, took pictures, and drank Jackson’s grape soda. [VICE interviewed them](http://www.vice.com/read/exploring-michael-jacksons-abandoned-neverland-ranch-760?ref=killscreen.com), with firsthand accounts and photos of all the strange things you’d expect to see lying around when breaking and entering in Michael Jackson’s house, such as eight-foot-tall oil paintings of the King of Pop.

And, wow, are these photographs gawk-worthy, like the one below of an art piece showing Michael leading a parade of children through a *Wizard of Oz*\-style fairyland.

Be sure to [head over to Vice](http://www.vice.com/read/exploring-michael-jacksons-abandoned-neverland-ranch-760?ref=killscreen.com) to see them all.
