Celebrities Who Say They've Lived in Real Haunted Houses

Courteney Cox

 

 

During a March 2022 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the star opened up about the paranormal encounters (and warnings that preceded them) at the home she once owned in the Laurel Canyon neighborhood of Los Angeles.

The first warning, Cox said, came from legendary singer Carole King, who previously owned the home.

"So Carole King came over to my house and she said there had been a divorce that was really ugly, and there was a ghost in the house," Cox told host Jimmy Kimmel. "And I was like, 'Yeah, whatever.' "

"But other people who had stayed there with me — friends of mine — said they had an encounter with a woman who was sitting on the edge of the bed," Cox continued, though she brushed off their concerns at the time as well. Until ...

"I was at the house one day, not being a believer," Cox told Kimmel. "And the doorbell rang. It was a UPS guy or something, and I opened the door and he said, 'Do you know this house is haunted?' "

Cox replied, "Yeah, why? Why do you think that?" to which the delivery driver responded, "Because there is someone standing behind you." The star said that was enough to convince her once and for all, as she joked, "And I was like, 'Let's sell!' "

... Jennifer Aniston

 

 

When she first moved to Los Angeles, Aniston rented an apartment that came with a ghost who just so happened to hate her roommate. "All of the sudden things started to [happen]. This dishwasher would start to go, or the coffee maker would start to go, or the stereo would just turn on at full volume. And it was terrifying," The Morning Show actress said on The Late Late Show with James Corden.

Following the advice of a friend, Aniston had someone come to "clear the house." "They had frankincense and they put it in a little dish, and sort of started saying all these things. And the first corner that she went to, the dish cracked," she recalled. "When we got to the really thick, thick, thick 1975 ashtray that was sitting on the table and then that cracked and she asked me to leave then I [really believed it]. She had to have a talking to [with the ghost]."

The ghost expert was able to pinpoint the problem after chatting with the spirit. "[The ghost] hated my roommate," Aniston said. "I moved out. I feel terrible, but I couldn't say, 'It doesn't like you.' I mean that would be terrible."

 

Miley Cyrus

 

 

The singer and her family had a terrifying time staying at a haunted rental apartment in London. "I was having really crazy dreams and really scary things, and one night my little sister — it sounds crazy to tell you — but she was standing in the shower and all of a sudden I hear her scream. I run in there and the water had somehow flipped to hot but it was still …

It wasn't like the water had just changed, the knob had turned but she hadn't turned it and it was burning her. She was really red," Cyrus told Elle UK. "Before I felt this, I thought I had seen a little boy sitting on the sink watching me take a shower so I felt really freaked out." The star added that her mom, aunt, and ex Liam Hemsworth all had "crazy experiences" in the flat after the shower incident, and that she eventually felt forced to find another place to stay.
