Ghost Haunts Movie Set?

By Si Dunn

Was it the smell of Thanksgiving turkey that briefly brought out a ghost? Or was it just the opportunity to haunt the actors, extras and crew of the movie The Significant Other?

Shot in Gainesville, Dallas and Plano, Texas, in 2007, the romantic comedy feature gained national attention after a ghostly image briefly appeared in a mirror and was captured on video during the shooting of a Thanksgiving dinner scene. The incident occurred at the movie’s main location, an 1896 Victorian-style mansion in Gainesville and has been recounted in The Hollywood Reporter and on CBS News, as well as other in media outlets.

“Maybe it was the aroma of the turkey that brought out the ghost,” said the movie’s director, Shalene Portman. “It freaked a lot of us out, but it never bothered us again” after the dinner scene incident.

A brief video clip of the ghostly appearance can be seen on the movie’s website, MySpace.com - The Significant Other - GAINESVILLE, Texas - www.myspace.com/thesignificantothermovie. (Disclosure: I am one of the movie's associate producers, but I was away from the set at the time and did not witness the ghost incident.) Watch the mirror closely as the image appears and disappears.

The house had no known history of being haunted until the movie's producer and director, Shalene Portman, brought in the scene's mantle and mirror and had them installed while the house was being refurbished.

The Significant Other is now in post-production and planned for release during the 2008 holiday season. For more information, contact SamiLu Production at SamiLuProduction@gmail.com. (There is no “s” after “Production.”)

the only similar incident that i can remember was a 'ghost of a little boy' appearing peeping through the curtains in a scene from 'three men and a baby' (or was it 'three men and a little lady'?) which made it onto the final cut,am a bit suspicious about this though as the story was leaked around the time of the publicity for the film!

Marilyn Monroe's Ghost

It is claimed that Marilyn Monroe's Ghost now haunts the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Boulevard. At the height of Marilyn Monroe's fame, she often stayed at the hotel where her ghostly image is seen in a full-length mirror that once hung in her poolside suite. (The mirror has been relocated to the hotel's lower level by the elevators.)

The ghost mirror now hangs in the lobby where many people clain to see her image gazing through the glass. The ghost of Marilyn Monroe has also been seen hovering near her tomb at Westwood Memorial Cemetery in Los Angeles, California. The Ghost of Marilyn Monroe is also said to haunt the house in Brentwood Brentwood where she died and hovers over the exact spot where she took the fatal dose of sleeping tablets. Some psychics have claimed that Marilyn Monroes's death was not a suicide, but an accident.


MARILYN MONROE

Celebrity PsychicsCOMMENT FROM CRAIG & JANE:

Marilyn Monroe is probably a spirit that would be porepared to make contact with this world. She was very interested in paranormal phenomena when alive so perhaps her interest continues beyond the grave. The biographer Anthony Summers of Goddess: Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe, writes, “Marilyn had a lifelong interest in the occult, and she often visited astrologers and psychics.” He explains how Kenny Kingston, a psychic to Hollywood celebrities, wrote:

"…a dear friend and former client of mine, Marilyn Monroe. I became Marilyn’s psychic when she was Mrs. Joe DiMaggio. She consulted me many times through the years and we stayed in touch until just a few days before her passing.”

Marilyn Monroe was introduced to the psychic by the actor Clifton Webb. Kenny Kingston and Monroe eventually struck up a close friendship with a mutual interest in psychic phenomena and spiritual guides. Marilyn Monroe also visited many other astrologers, mediums and psychics. The psychic Kenny Kingston says: “Whenever Marilyn needed detailed psychic advice, she would see me in person, and she did this God knows how many times.”
