Pop Star Robbie Williams Haunted by Ghost of Henry VIII wife
Flamboyant pop singer Robbie Williams says the £7 million mansion he shares with his girlfriend Ayda Field is inhabited by the spirit of Catherine Parr, the sixth and final spouse of infamous womaniser and Tudor King, Henry VIII.
But while he often "feels the presence" of Catherine – who once lived on the estate in Wiltshire, South West England – the 35-year-old singer says he’s never frightened.
He said: "I think there are ghosts. I haven't seen or heard anything. I've definitely felt something but it's not scary. I'm very, very pleased to say.
"It's Catherine's Parr's old house. In fact, we're actually not in the old house, we're in her barn."
Robbie and Ayda moved from Los Angeles to Britain earlier this year to prepare for his musical comeback.
The former Take That front-man is enjoying his new lifestyle, but admits he wouldn't have ever imagined himself living in the countryside a few years ago.
Robbie said: "I can't even believe that a 35-year old me has bought a 500-year-old place. Because at 26 or 27 there's no way that I would have chosen to be there or go anywhere near it.
"But it's lovely and the people have been great with us."
It's not the first time Robbie's house has been linked to paranormal activity.
The star reportedly purchased the property because it is crossed with 'ley lines' - invisible energy routes believed to attract aliens.
