Peter Jackson recalls ghostly encounter

Posted on Monday, 30 November, 2009 | 3 comments

Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson has said that he saw a ghost 20 years ago at Wellington's Courtney Place. He had woken up one morning to see the figure of a woman standing in his room that glided over and vanished through a wall.

His sighting was in an apartment he and his wife had in Wellington's Courtney Place opposite the St James Theatre, when they first met 20 years ago. "I woke up one morning and there was a figure in the room, she was very scary, she had a screaming face, very accusatory, she was a lady about 50 years old," Jackson said.

Wow he saw a ghost. And one of the most stereotypical, cookie-cutter ghosts of all time no less. Do they actually expect people to take them seriously?
