Lady Gaga's eccentric tendencies are no secret, but apparently the pop star is terrified of evil spirits. She has every hotel and tour venue scanned by a team of paranormal investigators before she will agree to stay there, according to Britain’s
Grazia magazine.
The 24-year-old singer, who has previously said she believes she is the reincarnated spirit of her dead aunt, has also allegedly splashed out $47,600 on state of the art Electro Magnetic Field meters to detect ghosts.
A source said: “She believes in paranormal activity and won’t take any risks when she is on the road. It’s important to her to be safe from spirits.”
Ghost-hunting equipment is not Gaga’s only extravagant purchase. The singer, who reportedly lost millions on her sold-out Monster Ball tour, spent $63,400 to hire a NASA trained chemist.
The flamboyant beauty splurged in order to discover a non–hot substance that would let steam out from a teacup-shaped dress.
Gaga has also spent $793,500 on private jets to transport her set equipment and wardrobe on the tour, $23,800 on hand crafted lace from Eastern Europe and $82,500 on a bath tub for her performance on UK TV talent show
The X Factor last year.
She is reportedly eyeing up a British castle for her next purchase.
