Ellen Degeneres thinks her house is Haunted

ELLEN Degeneres is having problems at home � with a ghost.

The talk-show titan � who hosted Sunday night�s Academy Awards � recently moved into a $40 million mansion, and is convinced it�s haunted by its original owner, who died there in 2009.

�The house had been remodeled, so Ellen thought it would have no trace of the former owner,� a source told the National Enquirer.

�But she was wrong. Within a few nights of moving in, Ellen started hearing random noises, including foot�steps and doors opening and closing.

�Then, in the middle of the night, she heard a woman�s faint cry.

�Ellen is totally freaked out.

�She hasn�t had a solid night�s sleep since she moved in.

�She said she�s never been a believer in ghosts or spirits, but she doesn�t have any other explanation for the mysterious sounds and voices.�

The 13,000-square-foot mansion was built for real es�tate developer Sidney Brody and his wife Frances in 1951. It�s located in the exclusive Holmby Hills neighborhood next door to the famed Playboy Mansion.
Brody died in 1983. His wife, a renowned art collector and philanthropist, passed away in the house at age 93 after a long illness.
