Courteney Cox has recently revealed she sold her house after realizing the property was haunted. The actress told Jimmy Kimmel Live while promoting her upcoming horror-comedy series Shining Vale about the troubled ghost who resided in her old house. Jimmy asked during a recent episode, “Are you a believer in ghosts? Have you had a ghost experience?”
While referencing the late burlesque entertainer Gyspy and singing legend Carole, Courteney revealed, “I have had one. I didn’t believe it at first, but I lived in this house in Laurel Canyon, which is in LA, obviously. It was Gypsy Rose Lee’s house and Carole King.” “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. And I was ‘Yeah, whatever.'”
Courteney went on saying, “But other people who had stayed there with me, like friends of mine, said they felt an encounter with a woman who was sitting on the edge of the bed. And I was ”Yeah, whatever.'” Courteney said she even did a séance with Carole but was so in awe with the singer that she didn’t listen to a word.

‘Friends star went on saying, “But then I was at the house one day not being a believer. 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?”’ Courteney said. “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,'” Courteney said.
Jimmy asked if she really sold the house because of that and Courteney answered, ‘Probably.’ “You don’t think of it the same way. You start seeing things,” she said. Shining Vale also stars Greg Kinnear, Sherilyn Fenn, Gus Birney, Dylan Gage, Mira Sorvino, Merrin Dungey, and Judith Light. The series was created by Irish comedian Sharon Horgan, and former Friends writer Jeff Astrof.
