13 Celebrities Who Have Been Haunted By Ghosts
Spooky sightings, creepy apparitions, scary visits from terrifying ghost children…
Everyone knows someone who claims to have seen a vision of something ‘otherworldly’, and normally we would suggest that you immediately cut these weirdos out of your life.
But it seems that there’s a whole bunch of celebrities who have claimed to have once encountered spirits and ghouls, which means that they MUST exist because famous people don’t lie. That’s just a fact.
So, in honour of Paranormal Activity: Ghost Dimensions being released in cinemas this week, we’ve rounded up the A-list stars who have been haunted by more than just the paparazzi.
Warning: The following contains eerie tales of scary stuff, and – for some reason – spooky sexytimes. Because apparently ghosts are a randy lot.
Ke$ha once had sex with a ghost
Let’s get straight to it then. Ke$ha told Ryan Seacrest that her song Supernatural was about the time she had sex with a ghost who lived in her house.
In the second series of her MTV doc series My Crazy Beautiful Life, she even banishes the remnants of that freaky one-night stand by having a vaginal exorcism. Yes, you read that correctly.
Matthew McConaughey frequently flashes his ghostly roommate
Shortly after the McConnaissance moved into his new place, he heard a noise and went to investigate – whilst completely naked and swinging a baseball bat, natch.
Turns out it was a ghost he has since named Madame Blue. “She’s a cool ghost,” he says. “Maybe me being nude all the time is why we get along.”
Lady Gaga’s ghost follows her on tour. He’s called Ryan
As Lady Gaga flew around the world on her Monster Ball tour, she was apparently in constant fear of a male spirit called Ryan who followed her at every stop along the way.
Reports at the time suggested that, at one point, Gaga held a séance to get rid of ol’ Ry, and then spent thousands on ghostbusters and Electro Magnetic Field meters to do the job.
Ariana Grande received a text from a ghost
Revealing her spooky encounter to fans via Twitter, Ariana explains that she took a photo of a couple of ghosts at a cemetery, and then was later texted the same photo in the middle of the night from an anonymous phone.
Can you imagine the charges for texting from another plane of existence?
Anna Nicole Smith also had sex with a ghost
In the reality glamour model’s own words from 2004: "A ghost would crawl up my leg and have sex with me at an apartment a long time ago in Texas.
“I used to think it was my boyfriend, and one day I woke up and it wasn’t… I was freaked out about it, but then I was, like, 'Well, you know what? He’s never hurt me and he just gave me some amazing sex so I have no problem.'" What. A. Stud.
A young Keanu Reeves was spooked by a haunted jacket
Last year, Keanu Reeves told Jimmy Kimmel that he saw a ghost when he was six or seven.
“Renata, our nanny, was in the bedroom, and there was a doorway and all of a sudden this jacket comes waving through the doorway, this empty jacket - there's no body, there's no legs. Then it just disappears.” Woah, indeed.
Miley Cyrus showered in front of a dead little boy
Miley Cyrus had a close encounter of the pervy kind while staying in a London hotel on her 2009 European tour.
“I thought I had seen a little boy sitting on the sink watching me take a shower so I felt really freaked out,” she said.
“I was sitting there the next night and maybe I’m crazy, but I could have sworn I could see this little boy sitting there on the sink, kicking his feet.”
To be fair, if you’re a ghost boy, how else are you going to spend your time?
Lucy Liu *also* had sex with a ghost
In 1999, Lucy Liu told US Weekly that she had a sexual encounter with a spirit while trying to nap on a futon.
She told them: “Some sort of spirit came down from God knows where and made love to me (…) It was sheer bliss. I felt everything. I climaxed. And then he floated away.
That was one sturdy futon.
Demi Lovato had a ghostly childhood pal
Lovato has been quite open about her experiences with the other side and has claimed that she had a little girl ghost friend when she was 8 who lived in her closet.
In a radio interview, she revealed: “I saw a little girl. She was dressed like she was from the 1800s, and was standing in my closet”.
She also claims to have had a medium and ghost hunters come to the house to investigate and both told Demi that the girl’s name was Emily.
Kate Hudson has seen so many ghosts that she knows how to get rid of them
Kate Hudson has claimed that both her and her mother Goldie Hawn are particularly sensitive to visits from beyond the grave.
“I’ve seen ghosts plenty of times,” she claimed, before offering a handy hint in case we ever come face to face with a malevolent killer phantasm.
“When you see something, you are supposed to tell the energy what year it is and that they don’t belong”.
She doesn’t say what you should do if the ghost comes from the current year and actually DOES belong though.
Alyson Hannigan lives with the world’s most polite ghost
The How I Met Your Mother actress reckons that she has a ghost staying in her house.
“He’s very friendly. My friend saw him first one night. She said ‘I don’t mean to alarm you but I just saw a man follow us out of the house’. And I said, ‘Well at least he’s gentlemanly.’”
Paz De La Huerta got felt up by Elvis Presley’s ghost, because obviously
The Boardwalk Empire star revealed her hands-on visitation from The King during a visit to Graceland in an interview with The New York Times in 2011.
“I stood in this corner [of his recording studio] and I felt him. What can I say? I felt him touch me… I felt his spirit go through me and give me pleasure.” What a Hound Dog.
Jessica Alba had a rough night's sleep thanks to a spirit
Poor Jessica Alba had a paranormal experience as a child while she slept in the comfort of her own bed.
"I felt this pressure and I couldn't get up, I couldn't scream, I couldn't talk, I couldn't do anything," she said.
"Something definitely took the covers off me and I definitely couldn't get off the bed, and then, once I did, I screamed, ran to my parents' room and I don't think I spent many nights in that house ever again."
