ELKE SOMMER GHOST STORY

I read in a book about haunted houses what Elke and her then husband, writer Joe Hymans went through for several years at a residence in Benedict Canyon, but can find very little info online about it. I was skeptical at first, but met someone whose aunt was a psychic researcher from UCLA who went to the house and confirmed it was legit, and more than a little terrifying. What is known about this, DL-ers??

Wasn't she the one who was haunted by the ghost of Sonja Henie?

LOL R1 no, that was Connie Stevens. Connie said Sonja had a portable skating rink in the attic of her house, and she saw Sonja tiptoeing on her skates.

OP- SO FUCKING WEIRD--

This popped up for me on Youtube yesterday, and I did not pay enough attention to it and exclaimed- THIS SOUNDS BORING AS FUCK

Here you go, maybe I will rewatch when I can pay attention--

Merry Christmas

Thanks R5 - it is not boring at all, I listened to more than half of it and it is creepy. Apparently the Dining Room of their home was the hotspot, and one of the psychics predicted a fire, that did happen and Elke and hubby had to flee from the window of their bedroom. My friend's aunt told him she was not told where she was going, or what the 'haunting' was, but that she got sick the minute she got to the place and it was creepily hidden from the street by trees and isolated.

I thought Elke Sommer was dead. I think I got her mixed up with Joey Heatherton.

Sommer was embroiled in a long-running feud with Zsa Zsa Gabor that began in 1984 when both appeared on Circus of the Stars

It might be mentioned in some of the material above - but Elke and her husband Joe still lived together even after they were divorced.

And Elke was of course in THE OSCAR!!! With dressed by Edith Head - mostly recycled from Carroll Baker's Harlow.
