Even if you believe in ghosts, the internet tends to be a place that can make you skeptical about them.
After all, if there are people who genuinely come forward with hard situations to explain , they’re usually lost in a sea of obvious fakes and content similar to Ghost Hunters that just features people jumping at any natural noise.

Still, whether they’re deserved or not, you often don’t have to look too far to find a place that has a reputation for being haunted. And once that reputation is established, it can be kind of hard to convince yourself that it’s based on superstition when you actually live there.
That’s what Courteney Cox discovered once upon a time and her response to the situation sounded like what would happen if a horror movie ended five minutes into its runtime.
When Courteney Cox appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” to talk about her new horror-comedy series “Shining Vale,” the conversation naturally gravitated towards ghosts.
This led Cox to tell Kimmel that she had once bought a house in the Laurel Canyon section of Los Angeles County that used to belong to Carole King.
As she said, “So Carole King came over to my house and she said that there had been a divorce, that was really ugly, and there was a ghost in the house. And I was, like, yeah, whatever.”
And while she and King would apparently hold a seance together, Cox spent a long time unconvinced that her house was haunted.
This persisted after friends who stayed over kept telling her that they saw a mysterious woman sitting on the edge of their beds, but one incident eventually led Cox to see things their way.
During one day in which Cox described herself as “at the house one day not being a believer,” a delivery driver came to her door.
And in her words, “I opened the door and he said, ‘Do you know this house is haunted?’ And I go, ‘Yeah, why? Why do you think that?’ And he goes, ‘Because there is someone standing behind you.’ And I was like, ‘Let’s sell.’”
It’s unclear whether Cox saw the ghostly woman herself after he said that, but she said that was likely the moment that convinced her to move.
As she put it, “I couldn’t sleep there alone ever again.”
So rather than act like the family in Poltergeist or any similar horror stories centering around a haunted house, she just got out of there.
