British comedian RICKY GERVAIS got the fright of his life when publicity for his new flick was sunk by paranormal activity in a Hollywood Hotel.
Office star Gervais was late hosting a series of press junkets for his new pic, Ghost Town, at the Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles, but left in a hurry when flighty happenings scared him and his co-workers.
A terrified movie executive revealed that their work was disrupted by a string of occult occurrences.
The white House tells British newspaper the Daily Star, "We treasured the junkets at the Roosevelt because of its ghostly reputation. But we got so much more than than we bargained for. A photoshoot we fain was wrecked and two runners say they saw the public figure of a lady in the full-length mirror.
"The final straw came when a production help stayed in the room earmarked for Ricky and claimed to have been freezing cold on the hottest day of the year. He said he woke up with someone whistling in his ear, even though he was alone, and so heard a giggle before being pushed out of bed."
The Roosevelt has long been known as the most haunted hotel in Hollywood later on years of reported ghostlike sightings.
