The BIZARRE reason why Courteney Cox sold her home
<p dir="ltr">Courteney Cox has opened up about an experience with the paranormal in her personal life, and how it prompted her to make a life-altering decision: to sell her home.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The former Friends star <a href="https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/courteney-cox-sold-her-house-because-she-thought-it-was-haunted/ZLSFVTGYDWHC3YUPLXQCYA5JIM/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was asked</a> about her experience with ghosts during an appearance on <em>Jimmy Kimmel Live!</em>, where she was promoting her new horror comedy series, Shining Vale.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Are you a believer in ghosts? Have you had a ghost experience?” Kimmel asked.</p>

<p dir="ltr">“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,” Cox replied.</p>

<p dir="ltr">She added that its residents included late burlesque entertainer Gypsy Rose Lee and famed singer Carole King.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“[King] said that there had been a divorce and that was really ugly and there was a ghost in the house, and I was like, ‘Yeah, whatever’,” Cox continued.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“But other people who would stay 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 like, ‘Yeah, whatever’.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">She shared that King even came over and held a seance with her, but that she was too starstruck to be fully immersed in the experience.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It wasn’t until later that Cox had her own experience with the ghost her friends had been talking about.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“I was at the house one day, not being a big believer, and the doorbell rang and it was a UPS guy,” she recalled.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“I opened the door and he said, ‘Do you know this house is haunted?’ and I was like, ‘Yeah why?’</p>
<p dir="ltr">“And he goes, ‘Because there’s someone standing behind you’.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“And I was like, ‘Let’s sell’.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">After her story elicited gasps from the audience, Kimmel asked whether it was really the reason why Cox offloaded the home.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“Probably,” she quipped in reply.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“You don’t think of it the same way. You start seeing things,” she added.</p>
