Celebrity Ghost Stories

Updated: September 23, 2009

BIO Channel is set to premiere Celebrity Ghost Stories, a series where stars recount real-life encounters with the paranormal, on Oct. 3. The list of storytellers is already pretty compelling: David Carradine gives one of his last interviews to share how he married a widow and became frequently visited by the jealous spirit of his wife’s ex. (”In a chilling twist of irony, the haunting takes place in his bedroom closet,” the press release teases.) Then you’ve got John Waters, Rue McClanahan, Joan Rivers, Carrie Fisher, Greg Grunberg, Debi Mazar, Barry Williams, Illeana Douglas, Lili Taylor, Tom Arnold, Morgan Fairchild, Scott Baio, Gina Gershon, C. Thomas Howell, Eric Roberts, Justine Bateman, Carnie Wilson, Dee Snider, Teri Polo, Lisa Rinna, Elisabeth Rohm, Nia Long, Traci Lords, Sammy Hagar, Ernie Hudson, Jay Thomas, Ali Landry, John Salley, James Kyson Lee, Kelly Carlson, Federico Castelluccio, and Anson Williams (HAPPY DAYS‘ POTSIE, who’s most recently been directing episodes of ABC Family’s The Secret Life of the American Teenager).

What makes it even more exciting: The show will include dramatizations of the personal accounts the stars are narrating. Which means there will be an actor who will forever get to say that he played Anson Williams on Celebrity Ghost Stories. For inspiration:
