Iconic actress Elvira lived in the home before Brad bought it in the mid-’90s. She told People that she informed him about the house’s other occupants as he was looking into making it his own.

“We were just kind of warning him that a lot of weird things have been going on there in the house since we moved in,” she told People. “And he was very excited about that. He thought that was really cool.”

The actress said that she and her then-husband had so many experiences that they brought a priest in to perform an exorcism when they owned it.

“I had all kinds of things because it was really getting to a point of like, ‘I don’t know if I can continue to live here,’” she recalled thinking.

What sorts of things were they encountering?

“I’ve seen people walking around upstairs, for example, real people just walking. One time [a ghost was] sitting downstairs in front of the fireplace, once walking into my bedroom and back out,” she said. “We saw a person floating around at the bottom of the pool, things like that.”

She reiterated that she wasn’t making up the stories and that she couldn’t explain them, either.

“So we were telling Brad all about that and he loved it. I mean, there are not many buyers who that would be a selling point for, but he was like, ‘Oh, that’s so awesome,’” she remembered. “I love that he appreciated the house so much.”
