Celebrity Paranormal Encounters

Friday, July 3, 2009

With the tragic and globally impacting death of Michael Jackson dominating the news headlines, I wonder if he will return (as a "ghost") to his familiar and favorite places, the places he loved, like his Neverland ranch. I wonder how long it will be before psychics claim to "talk" to the iconic pop star from beyond the grave. Conspiracy theories have already inevitably surfaced regarding Michael Jackson's death and I will admit that there are too many discrepancies in journalistic reports, but I digress.

Many celebrities have had their share of paranormal encounters.

Michael Jackson


The Thriller singer claims that he was able to communicate with pianist Lee Liberace, who died in 1987 and whom Jackson considers as his guardian angel. Jackson had his own secret room, with a moving wall and mirrors, where he would frequently talk to Liberarce. Jackson would often feel the pianist's presence very close to him, hear his voice, and communicate to him about a plethora of different things.

Hugh Grant


British Four Weddings and A Funeral star, Hugh Grant, attests that his Los Angelese apartment is haunted. He often hears the wailing and screaming of a tormented spirit through the night, whom he has speculated is the ghost of actress Bette Davis who died in 1989.

Russell Crowe


The Sun newspaper relates how Gladiator star, Russell Crowe, knew of his grandfather's death. A kookaburra (an Australian kingfisher) suddenly flew into his window and looked him directly in the eye. He called his mother, who confirmed that his grandfather had died and later, on the day of his death, she too had seen a kookaburra. Crowe firmly believes that the bird was his grandfather's spirit a-visiting.

Nicolas Cage


Actor Nicolas Cage knowingly bought a haunted house, the Lalaurie Mansion in New Orleans' French Quarter, reputedly the most severely haunted house in New Orleans. Cage says he is aware of the mansion's checkered past and its ghostly residents, but has yet to sleep overnight in it. Paranormal groups have requested to investigate the house, but he has refused on the basis that he does not want any of the "residents" to become exploited.

Paul McCartney


Former Beatles singer, Paul McCartney, claims that John Lennon's playful ghost made an appearance during the recording of the 1995 song Free As A Bird. He says, "There were a lot of strange goings-on in the studio - noises that shouldn't have been there and equipment doing all manner of weird things. There was just an overall feeling that John was around."
