Apparently his gaff is haunted. Morsels such as these become newsworthy when an actor has a dire film in the offing which is in need of promotion (here's tipping the hat to you, Bangkok Dangerous). The house in question in New Orleans and is so riddled with paranormal activity that Cage (who appears to be frequenting the same "hairdresser" as one Charlie Sheen) refuses to sleep there, despite paying over €2million for it: "(It's) in the Vieux Carre - which is called the French Quarter. It's a very notorious house, it's a very famous house - meaning it's allegedly the most severely haunted house in the United States of America... that's what they tell me. So at any given moment, I have five or six ghosts surrounding the house, all looking up at this haunted temple, and I'm in there. We'll (my family) come over and have dinner there but nobody sleeps there. I will sleep there, I will at some point - but I'll be alone when it happens... I try not to have a narrow mind about things... (I've gotten) five or six requests from parapsychologists' groups to come into the house, and I won't let them in - because of respect. If there's something in there, I don't want them being exploited."
