Celebrities are often spooked by the media or rabid fans. But some have been chilled by the supernatural. These stars have admitted to having uncomfortable encounters with things that go bump in the night – find out who’s lurking in the shadows.

The perpetually shirtless Matthew McConaughey, 45, is so hot he actually took a girl ghost home in 2003. “I heard a sound “like a dime dropping from 10 feet off the ground onto a glass table,” he said. Thinking quickly, he grabbed a baseball and ran around the house “buck naked,” in search of the spooky source. “I’ve seen her since. She’s a cool ghost. Maybe me being nude all the time is why we get along!”

Sir Paul McCartney once told an interviewer that the ghost of his deceased Beatle bandmate, John Lennon, still helps him write music. “John will say, ‘You can't go there, man.’ And I'll say, ‘You're quite right. How about this?’ ‘Yeah, that's better,’” said the 73 year old legend. “We'll have a conversation.” Thanks Lennon, but let’s step it up. When was the last time McCartney had a hit?

The Matrix man, Keanu Reeves, had a "clothes" encounter with the supernatural when was just a kid. “I remember staring at this suit – which had no body or legs in it – as it came into the room before disappearing. There's no head, there's no body, there's no legs. Is that a ghost? Or is that just some weird floating jacket? I still see the figure in my dreams and nightmares.” Whoa! That’s totally excellent, dude!

The Dancing With the Stars star, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, 35, was shaking in his boots when he stayed in one North Carolina hotel. “I didn’t know that the hotel had a room where a lady jumped out of a window. I stayed in the room next door and heard a lot of noise, and called to complain … and they told me it was her ghost! Before he finished the story I was already downstairs, trying to change my room!”

Lady Gaga is such a believer in haunted houses, that she laid out $5,000 for a ghost-busting machine to do a “spirit-seeking sweep” of one of the London venues on her Monster’s Ball tour. The owner of the company that sold it to her, Dan Webb, told a newspaper: “They said the gear had to be robust as they were taking it on the road, so they must be doing this everywhere she’s performing.”

Goldie’s not so little girl says, “I've seen ghosts plenty of times! I've seen a ghost of a woman with no face, and that was really creepy! It's a fifth energy!” Kate Hudson said. That’s the first time we’ve heard that.

Ex-husband Sonny Bono is still trying to horn in on this diva’s act – 17 years after his death! Cher, 69, who had a famously tempestuous relationship with Bono, believes his ghost is haunting her – but in a friendly way: “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!” Especially Bono, we suspect!

Michelle Williams says she is haunted by the ghost of her late fiancé, Heath Ledger, who overdosed seven years ago. Williams said Ledger first visited her in the dark of night three months after his. She says she awoke to see her bedroom furniture being moved by a shadowy figure that looked like Ledger. The second time he visited, Williams said that he apologized for not being there to help raise their daughter, Matilda — just like many living Hollywood dads!

This Real Housewife never kids around when talking about ghosts! When Lisa Rinna's first daughter was just six-weeks old, she started laughing and seemed to be talking to someone who wasn’t there. When her second daughter, Emilia, was an infant, she heard loud giggling on the baby monitor. When she went into her daughter’s room, she saw a woman standing over the crib!
