Singer Belinda Carlisle blames her spooky moments on her part-native American roots.  The superstitious Heaven Is A Place On Earth hitmaker is wracked by memories of fright nights and ghost attacks.

She thinks all her homes in London, France and America are haunted.  "Once in London I saw a misty shape towering over me as I lay in bed," she explains.

"The room got colder and then this thing pinned me down.  "No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't move, scream or even breathe. I thought, 'So this is how it's going to end'. Then, as suddenly as it appeared, it disappeared."

It wasn't Carlisle's first experience with a ghost.  She adds, "There was another time I was alone in my parents' house in California dozing off in a chair when I felt something -- a presence beside me.  "Sparks started flying out of my body and I levitated. I was only 17 then and it was a really terrifying experience.

I had to be treated for nerves for months afterwards.  "My mother has always been on a spiritual path, trusting in fate, destiny and a higher power and my father's half-American Indian and he's always had mystic beliefs -- I guess I'm a product of that and spiritually charged."
