    Foo Fighters Spooked by Ghosts While Recording New Album in Haunted Mansion

    Instagram

    Dave Grohl and his bandmates are left feeling ‘creeped out’ as they felt a presence while recording their new studio album ‘Medicine at Midnight’ at an old spooky house.

    Feb 6, 2021
    AceShowbiz – The Foo Fighters were “creeped out” while recording their new album “Medicine at Midnight” at a “haunted” house.
    Dave Grohl and his bandmates won’t be rushing back to the 1940s mansion he had rented a decade ago, where they worked on the new album, after they were left spooked by ghosts.
    The “Walking After You” rocker claims he heard unexplained footsteps and felt a presence next to him while recording.

    The 52-year-old frontman told USA Today, “So there was a house down the street from where I live that I actually rented about 10 years ago. It was an old house built in the ’40s, I believe – just the quintessential creepy house. The person that owns the place told me stories like, ‘Oh, Joe Cocker used to party here with the guy that played Grizzly Adams (Dan Haggerty).”
    “When I lived there, I didn’t consider it to be a spooky house. My kids did. My daughter, Harper, would see things and other people in her room at night, but she was three years old at the time… But when we came back to record this (album), everybody felt creeped out and you could go one of two ways: You could run screaming out the front door with your tail between your legs or you could put your head down and make nine songs and then get the f**k out of there. That’s basically what we did.”
    Asked if he saw any ghosts, he said, “I’ve never been that paranormal experience television show-type person. I’ve never wandered around my basement with infrared goggles looking for heat sensors. The worst part is just feeling it. It’s not like you’re seeing floating bedsheets and vomiting pea soup – it’s like you feel somebody next to you or hear footsteps or have reoccurring dreams of an old woman in a muddy sweater barefoot in your living room. Things like that.”
    But the spirits in the mansion helped the band produce a great album. “Maybe whatever was in that house influenced us to make our first boogie-rock production,” Grohl added. “So hallelujah! Whatever the f**k it was, it worked.”

    Dave Grohl Bothered by Paranormal Activity While Recording Foo Fighters' New Album

    Speaking about the ghoulish encounters, the frontman of the ‘Learn to Fly’ rock band reveals that the landlord of the haunted house forced him to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
    Mar 24, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl had terrifying encounters with a ghostly apparition while recording the band’s new record.
    The rockers worked on their 10th studio album in a house in Encino, California that dated back to the 1940s – and Grohl claims the sessions were disrupted by ghouls who messed with their equipment.
    Speaking about the ghoulish encounters to Britain’s Mojo magazine, the “Monkey Wrench” hitmaker says, “When we walked into the house in Encino, I knew the vibes were definitely off but the sound was f**ing on.”
    “We started working there and it wasn’t long before things started happening. We would come back to the studio the next day and all of the guitars would be detuned. Or the setting we’d put on the board, all of them had gone back to zero. We would open up a Pro Tools session and tracks would be missing.”
    He explained that the ghosts even recorded their own paranormal material, adding, “There were some tracks that were put on there that we didn’t put on there. But just like weird open mic noises. Nobody playing an instrument or anything like that, just an open mic recording a room.”
    The band eventually set up a baby monitor to capture any paranormal activity – but claim it is sworn to secrecy about the findings – after signing a contract with the property owner, to avoid the home losing its value.
    Grohl adds, “I had to sign a f**king non-disclosure agreement with the landlord because he’s trying to sell the place. So, I can’t give away what happened there in the past but these multiple occurrences over a short period of time made us finish the album as quickly as we could.”

    The Foo Fighters completed their as yet untitled album last month.
