Jessica Chastain’s glitzy new apartment haunted?
Jessica bought the apartment for USD 5.1 million.
Actress Jessica Chastain’s new apartment is spooky, according to the previous residents from the house. A ghost of Alfredo Taylor, an architect who designed the 1906 addition to the famed apartment house, is said to roam the building’s halls and ride the lift, reported the New York Post.
“I have a poltergeist!” said Naomi Graffman, who has lived at The Osborne with her husband, Gary, since 1962. Graffman said sliding doors would open and close by themselves and a pot of water on the stove would boil without anyone turning on the burner.
“We’d be standing in the hallway talking and the toilet would start to flush,” she said. Graffman believes her spirited house guest is Johanna Gadski, a German-born mezzo-soprano who sang at the Metropolitan Opera before World War I. She lived at the time in The Osborne — in Graffman’s apartment.
Davida Deutsch’s first night in her Osborne apartment in 1971 was harrowing. Deutsch and her husband had heard rumors of a ghost and were so nervous, they left a broom near their bed in case they needed to defend themselves against the apparition.
They were startled awake by a loud bang in the night. “We were scared to death,” said Deutsch, who put aside her fears and has become the building’s unofficial historian. The actress is said to have spent USD 5.1 million on the apartment that features four bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
