Niall Horan’s new house is haunted.
The One Direction singer has splashed out £3 million on a Los Angeles property previously owned by Hollywood star Gia Scala – whose 1972 death was attributed to an overdose, despite her bruised body being found on a blood-stained pillow – and a former resident believes the ‘Guns of Navarone’ actress’ presence can still be detected there.
Jack Krane, who grew up in the house, said: "I always asked if someone died in one of these houses, and my parents said no.
"I have always felt something strange.
"That house is haunted, for sure. I’ve had a few ghost stories over there. It’s creepy."
The 22-year-old singer, who also owns a house in London, bought the five-bedroom, six-bathroom property last December but hasn’t moved in yet as he’s been having extensive renovations done.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Niall loves the house and his offer went through at the end of last year. It’s got everything he needs and isn’t too flashy.
"The place is a construction site at the moment as he is having a lot of work done before he moves in."
While Niall will be able to relax in his new outdoor swimming pool and rooftop deck, he recently revealed his favourite way to de-stress is with a round of golf.
He said: "I’ve got into it more over the past four or five years and appreciate it more. When I was on the road with One Direction it allowed me to escape the hotel for a few hours and relax. Harry [Styles] and I used to play a fair bit and travelling so much has allowed me to play some amazing courses all over the world. It’s a great way to escape from everything for a few hours."
