Friends star, who is best for playing Monica Geller in the hit sitcom as well as her role in the Scream franchise, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday (28 February) to promote upcoming horror-comedy series Shining Vale.When Kimmel asked Cox if she had encountered any ghosts herself, following a discussion of the eerie new show, she revealed she had in fact experienced one.“I have had one,” she replied, before going on to explain that she had owned a property in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles that previously belonged to burlesque performer Gypsy Rose Lee, and subsequently Carole King.When King came to visit one day, the singer told her that there had “been a divorce that was really ugly,” and there was “a ghost in the house,” Cox told Kimmel. “And I was like, ‘Yeah, whatever.’“But other people who had stayed there with me, like friends of mine, said they felt an encounter with a woman who was sitting on the edge of the bed.”Although Cox didn’t initially take the reports seriously, she said, she later had an experience that changed her mind.
