Haunted Hollywood - Actress Sharon Tate Saw Her Own Ghost!
Many Hollywood celebrities claim that they have seen ghosts and that their own homes are haunted!
Ghostbuster actor, Dan Ackroyd admits to being unnerved by spooky goings-on in his home which had previously been owned by Mama Cass Elliot, one time member of the 60's cult group Mamas and Papas.
He said: 'A ghost certainly haunts my house. It once even crawled into bed with me. I rolled over and just nuzzled up to whatever it was and went back to sleep". The ghost also uses his home gym equipment and moves jewellery across the dresser. Dan added: " I'm sure it's Mama Cass because you get the feeling it's a big ghost'.
Heartthrob actor Hugh Grant is said to have heard the ghost of legendry actress Bette Davis sobbing as it moves through the luxury apartments of the Los Angeles Colonial Building where she used to live.
The late comedy actress Lucille Ball is also said to haunt her old home at North Roxbury Drive in Hollywood. It's said that windows have been mysteriously broken, furniture moved of its own accord and shouting has been traced to the attic rooms.
But the most disturbing of all Hollywood haunting tales has to be that of the beautiful 60's actress, the late Sharon Tate. In August of 1969, the 26-year-old was brutally murdered by the so called 'Manson-family' . Shortly before her death Sharon confided in friends that she had seen her own ghost!
That hot summer the heavily pregnant young actress was staying at a luxury rented mansion in Hollywood, whilst her film producer husband Roman Polanskii was away in Europe. It was there she had the unnerving experience of seeing two ghosts! It occurred one evening as she was resting in her bedroom and she saw the ghost of what she described as a 'creepy little man'
She recognized him immediately as the former owner of the house, Paul Burn, a theatrical agent who had shot himself in an upstairs bathroom following the break-up of his marriage to 1930s actress, Jean Harlow. Terrified she fled screaming from the bedroom, only to be immediately confronted by her own ghost at the foot of the stairs. She described seeing the spirit of a woman who was tied to a pillar with her throat cut.
Strangely she had glimpsed her own horrific fate at the hands of her killers. She was found in exactly this position following the attack by the Manson gang.
If she had acted upon her amazing foresight - her name would not be sadly forever linked with the terrible events that happened in the property shortly afterwards when Sharon and four friends were stabbed and shot to death.
