Random Celebrity Ghosts As Famous In Death As They Were In Life (14 items)

• 

  (#10) Joan Crawford

  • Dec. at 73 (1904-1977)

  Joan Crawford's daughter has claimed that she and her mother lived in a house that was already haunted. So, when Crawford died of a heart attack on May 10, 1977, it seems as though she joined the ghost party that was already raging.

  Apparently, Joan and the other ghosts spend their time starting fires and trying to burn the house down. According to the book Hollywood and the Supernatural, an exorcist was even hired to clear the home of malevolent spirits, and she referred to Crawford's home as a "place of conspicuous negativity," calling it an "Astral Central."

  (#3) Elvis Presley

  • Dec. at 42 (1935-1977)

  The King of Rock 'n' Roll met his untimely end when he died of a heart attack on August 16, 1977. Presley was found in the bathroom of his home in Graceland, TN, and reportedly still haunts the property. But Elvis gets around; he's also been spotted at the Las Vegas Hilton, where he gave his final big performance, at other locations in that hotel, and at the old RCA recording studios.

  Workers at the former music recording studio (which is now a TV studio) have reported instances where someone brings up Elvis in conversation and unexplained noises appear on the sound systems and the lights begin to flicker. Spooky stuff!

  (#14) Abraham Lincoln

  • Dec. at 56 (1809-1865)

  Now for a change of pace - Abraham Lincoln may not be a movie star or a music icon, but he loves a good haunting as much as the next celebrity ghost. Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865, at Ford's Theater in Washington, DC, but some White House staff have reported the occasional appearance of the former president wandering the building.

  Former First Lady Grace Coolidge claimed to have seen him in the Oval Office by the window, and former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill is also purported to have seen Abe while staying in the Lincoln Bedroom. Churchill emerged from the bathtub when he spotted the president's ghost.

  (#4) Amy Winehouse

  • Dec. at 28 (1983-2011)

  Winehouse tragically died of alcohol poisoning in 2011 at the age of 27, becoming a member of the infamous 27 Club, but it seems she hasn't quite left this plane yet.

  Pete Doherty, a close friend of Winehouse's and former member of The Libertines, was convinced that Winehouse was haunting his flat - so much so that he fled to Paris to get away from her ghostly presence.
• 

  (#7) Harry Houdini

  • Dec. at 52 (1874-1926)

  Renowned escape artist Harry Houdini could not escape death's clutches, and now he is apparently shackled to this mortal coil. He died from a ruptured appendix on October 31, 1926 - what a day to go out!

  Houdini's ghost is rumored to haunt the Hollywood mansion where he was thought to have lived or at least visited during his life, as many in the Laurel Canyon neighborhood claim to have seen a spectral man matching his appearance. However, it now seems unlikely that Houdini had any association with the mansion. The haunting remains a mystery.

  (#8) Lucille Ball

  • Dec. at 78 (1911-1989)

  Lucille Ball's ghost likes to party - you could even say she likes to have a ball! The I Love Lucy star died at age 77 from a ruptured aorta following open-heart surgery. But nothing keeps a good ghost down.

  The owners of Ball's house in Beverly Hills have complained of sounds coming from the attic, such as voices that sound as if they're talking over loud music. Seems as if Lucy has some ghost buddies over that she's having a blast with up there. They've also mentioned supernatural happenings like furniture moving about of its own accord and household items disappearing and reappearing in different places.
