If you thought ghosts and ghouls were mere movie fantasy, think again -- the homes of Hampstead and Hollywood are haunted with celebrity spectres.
And what better time than Halloween to go spook hunting.
Despite their fame and fortune, rock, pop and movie stars are powerless when it comes to the things that go bump in the night.
They all have tales to chill the blood -- it seems the imaginations of creative millionaires and millionairess are easy targets for the undead.
Take Nicolas Cage, for instance -- he refuses to sleep over at in his movie mogul uncle Francis Ford Coppola's home after he spotted a ghost in the attic.
The Oscar-winning actor admits he was terrified by the spooky sighting, which he initially mistook for a relative.
He recalls, "I was living in the attic, and there were bats there between the walls -- you could hear the scratching.
"One night I was not quite asleep when the door in front of my bed opened and there was this pitch-black silhouette of a woman with big hair.
"I thought it was my aunt coming to say goodnight. So I said, 'Goodnight,' and it didn't say anything. Then it moved towards me and my body froze up and I let out this bloodcurdling scream and threw my pillow at it.
"Then it disappeared. Now, am I saying I saw a ghost -- I still don't know. But I saw something that freaked me out."
