"Regular people" like you and I aren't the only ones reporting paranormal activity in their haunted houses. Many celebrities have reported living in haunted houses too. Whether it was homes they grew up in, or homes they moved into knowing of haunting rumors.

For example, Louisiana native Ellen Degeneres told a story about a ghost her and her mom both witnessed. When telling the story it wasn't clear if this was the Louisiana home she grew up in or not. But the haunted house Nicolas Cage has lived it is absolutely in Louisiana.

Cage purchased the Lalaurie Mansion in New Orleans, known as one of America's most haunted homes.

Another Louisiana native with haunted house stories in Britney Spears. Though she hasn't told a story about a Louisiana-based home, she has shared stories about living in a haunted house.

East Texas native Matthew McConaughey has told stories about his haunted houses as well. Though he wasn't specific on where the home was located, based on his ghost being named "Madame Bleu", we're assuming it was in Texas or Louisiana.
