Julia Fox has shared what might be the sweetest (?) ghost story we've ever heard. 

The actor and model, who is based in New York City, has admitted that not only is her building haunted by a ghost, but the occupants also have a shrine dedicated to the spirit.

"She’s the matriarch of the home. She watches over us," Fox told Vulture. "Her name is Beauty and she lived in the house for pretty much her whole life. We have a whole shrine to her in my basement."

She also confessed that it might have been 'Beauty' that drew her into buying the home and also said her son talks to the spirit often.

"My son sees her all the time, but she's a nice ghost so we're not worried."

Then we're not worried either, Fox.

In an interview with MTV News, actress Megan Fox opened up about her belief in all things superstitious. 

She recalled a moment in Mexico when she left the room she was in only to return to a full cup of hot coffee. Fox believes this was the work of a ghost and not some very well-trained personal assistant. 

If getting a hot coffee without asking for one is what it means to be haunted, then consider me interested in getting a ghost.

All hail the queen of Halloween, Vanessa Hudgens.

Given the extensive effort she puts towards her Halloween celebrations each year, it makes sense that the actor is in touch with all things apparitions.

It will come as no surprise that the famed popstar who has a quirky side has a rather detailed story about a ghost who haunted her while she was living in London. 

In an interview with Elle UK, the singer spoke about an interaction she had while on tour in 2009. 

"I thought I had seen a little boy sitting on the sink watching me take a shower so I felt really freaked out," she said. 

"I was sitting there the next night and maybe I’m crazy, but I could have sworn I could see this little boy sitting there on the sink, kicking his feet." 

Needless to say, she got out of there quickly.

The party don't stop until the demon walks in.

That's right, early noughties singing sensation Kesha is so in touch with the underworld she created a whole damn show about tapping into alternate beliefs and universes. 

The Discovery+ series called Conjuring Kesha was an exploration of all things supernatural including an episode where she tried to speak to someone on the other side. 

Throughout the episode Kesha, along with comedian Whitney Cummings, visits a haunted prison where they encounter a ghost who is apparently more appropriately referred to as a demon. 

It's important to be specific about these things!

When you think about running into a ghost in the dark halls of your home at night, it sounds kind of terrifying, right? 

Well, for How I Met Your Mother actress Alyson Hannigan, she had a rather uneventful interaction with a ghost. 

In 2003 she moved into a new home with her husband, at the time their friend noticed a figure walking through the property. 

"I don’t mean to alarm you, but I just saw a man follow us out of the house," Alyson recalled her friend saying.

"At least he’s gentlemanly. He let us go first," she responded. 

What a lovely ghost.

Courteney Cox

Friends' alum Courtney Cox was once so spooked by an alleged ghost living in her home that she ended up selling the property in Los Angeles. 

In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel in 2022, she explained the creepy phase of her life where she found herself living in 1920s burlesque star Gypsy Rose Lee's former home.

"I was at the house one day not being a believer. 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?'" she 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.'"

Cher and her ex-husband Sonny were once the most famous couple in Hollywood, but in 1998 Sonny died during a ski accident. Many years later Cher believes she has a connection with her former partner. 

"I love ghosts. I actually think that Sonny makes a light go on," she said during a Reddit Ask Me Anything in 2013. 

"I have a beautiful chandelier that he makes the light go on when it is impossible, there is no power on. I love ghosts, I prefer ghosts to some people.'" 

Keanu Reeves

Just by looking at Keanu Reeves, you can tell he's a deep thinker and tapped into frequencies that regular shmegular people might not be aware of. 

During an interview with ABC, the actor opened up about the time he saw a ghost when he was a young child. 

"I remember just staring at this suit, which had no body or legs in it, as it came into the room before disappearing," he told the news outlet. 

"It was a double-breasted suit in white, and I looked at my nanny, who was just as shocked as me." 

I would quite simply never sleep another wink in my life.

Salma Hayek

During a 2021 interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Hayek went into detail about the bevy of ghosts that once haunted her London home. 

After noticing some spooky occurrences around the house - including the piano playing by itself and lights randomly turning on and off - she enlisted the help of a ghost hunter. 

"[They] found like 20 [ghosts]," she said. Apparently among them were an "old lady and a child." 

That’s 20 ghosts too many for my liking.

In 2013, the singer ventured to Stull Cemetery in Kansas City and surprise, surprise, some pretty freaky stuff went down.

"I felt this sick, overwhelming feeling of negativity over the whole car, and we smelled sulphur, which is the sign of a demon," she said in an interview with Complex. 

"There was a fly in the car randomly, which is another sign of a demon. I was like, 'This is scary, let’s leave.' I rolled down the window before we left and said, 'We apologise. We didn't mean to disrupt your peace.'"

Lily Collins

Another actress who had a connection with a ghost after playing them on the screen is Lily Collins. In 2019 she told The Guardian about her interactions with spirits while playing the role of serial killer Ted Bundy's ex-girlfriend, Elizabeth Kloepfer. 

She said every night she was woken at precisely 3.05 am by "flashes of images, like the aftermath of a struggle" during the filming of Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile. 

"I discovered that 3 am is the time when the veil between the realms is the thinnest and one can be visited," Collins told the outlet. 

"I didn't feel scared — I felt supported. I felt like people were saying: 'We're here listening. We're here to support. Thank you for telling the story.'"

Matthew McConaughey

Alright, alright, alright, Matthew McConaughey once had a ghost living in his house and it sounds like they had a pretty friendly relationship. 

"She has no qualms with me. We get along just fine," he said in an interview with Irish Examiner. 

"She's a cool ghost. Maybe me being nude all the time is why we get along." 

He even ended up naming her Madame Blue, of course.
