Actress GINA GERSHON and singer BELINDA CARLISLE have opened up about their ghostly experiences for a new TV show.

Gershon claims she was haunted by a heavyset, bald ghost in his underwear while she was a college student in New York.

And the star insists that the experience left her unable to sleep.

She tells the Biography Channel's Celebrity Ghost Stories special, "I kept having violent nightmares. I would wake up with scratches and bruises."

And singer Carlisle has also admitted to seeing an apparition, insisting she was left terrified after the haunting experience in the middle of the night.

She adds, "I woke up all of a sudden to this thing. It wouldn't let me breathe; it just kept choking me. I thought I was going to die."
