Many years ago, a friend and I went upstairs there and saw three S-shaped spirits following one another across the landing. Energies of once-living humans, come back to intrude! We ran right out of there!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As well as seeing ghosts, Aykroyd also believes objects can be possessed by both good and evil spirits and he claims his late friend Michael Jackson \u2013 whose &#8216;Liberian Girl&#8217; video he starred in back in 1989 \u2013 told him he once own a haunted cabinet.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: \u201cSome objects can carry spirits. Michael Jackson spoke of a cabinet he bought in Germany that was possessed. There was stuff going on in there. He had to get rid of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nSharing his own experience of a moving object in the former home he shared with his wife Donna Dixon, he added: \u201cA while back, at our old house, I was falling asleep one night and suddenly I heard a clinking sound and saw Donna\u2019s bracelet and earrings doing a dust-devil whirlwind dance on the bedside table. But that wasn\u2019t necessarily a spirit manipulating them; it was probably due to my own residual psychokinetic energy. Beverly D\u2019Angelo lives in that house now, and she says there\u2019s still stuff going on in there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/dan-aykroyd-haunted-shaped-spirits-family-farmhouse-1394750.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>18 February 2024 &#8216;Ghostbusters&#8217; star Dan Aykroyd was haunted by \u201cthree S-shaped spirits\u201d which made him flee his family\u2019s farmhouse in terror.
