Nicholas Cage respects his ghosts

Last year, Nicolas Cage paid nearly $3.5 million for the legendary Lalaurie Mansion in New Orleans, Louisiana. This mansion, constructed during the 1830s, is supposedly the most-haunted home in the historic city. And in spite of the hefty sum he gave for it, he is yet to risk a night’s sleep in it!

He says, "It's in the Vieux Carre, which is called the French Quarter. It's a very notorious house! It's allegedly the most severely haunted house in the United States of America or that's what they tell me. So at any given moment, I have five or six ghosts surrounding the house, all looking up at this haunted temple, and I'm in there. Me and my family go over and have dinner there but nobody sleeps there. I will sleep there, at some point -- but I'll be alone when it happens... I try not to have a narrow mind about things."

Nicolas claims he has a lot of respect for the souls that haunt his home and will at no cost allow ghostbusters to set foot in it. "I've gotten five or six requests from parapsychologists' groups to come into the house, but I won't let them in -- because of respect. If there's something in there, I don't want them being exploited," he said.
