WASHINGTON: Actress Jessica Alba says that she was once attacked by a ghost as a teenager, after which her parents summoned experts to rid their old home of spirits.

Alba says that she was 17 when she had the spooky experience, which woke her up in the middle of the night in her parent’s guest room.

She says that an apparition ripped the bed sheets off her, and then lay on top of her.

Alba has even revealed that she often has nightmares about that experience.

"I had no idea what it was. I felt this pressure and I couldn't get up, I couldn't scream, I couldn't talk, I couldn't do anything. Something definitely took the covers off me and I definitely couldn't get off the bed, and then, once I did, I screamed, ran to my parents' room and I don't think I spent many nights in that house ever again,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

"There's something in my parents' old house, I don't know what it was. I can't really explain it... They got it blessed and they burned sage and stuff since then," she added.
