Director Peter Jackson has first-hand experience of the supernatural - he's convinced his home in New Zealand is haunted.

The Oscar-winner suffered a spooky encounter while he was back in his native country filming the Lord of the Rings trilogy, when he spotted a "scary" spectre in his bedroom.

And he insists the ghost is real - because his wife, Fran Walsh, has seen it too.

Jackson says, "When I woke up in the morning, there was a figure in the room. She had a scary face, like a silent scream, very accusatory. It was terrifying. She was at the end of the bed then she glided across the room and disappeared into the wall. I sat and wondered if I had really seen it. Then, Fran came in. I said, 'I think I've seen a ghost.' I swear I had never spoken to her about this before, but the first thing she said to me was, 'Was it the woman with the screaming face?'

"Fran had seen the same woman in the same room two years earlier."

We live in Christchurch and our house has its own resident ghost. (Our house is about 100 years old so it must have a "history".)

I have seen our resident; on other occasions my wife has awakened me saying that she has just seen someone walking down the passage, upon investigation we have found nothing.
We have doors opening and closing during the night. During the day my wife has heard children playing in the empty house as well as footsteps running down the passage.
One morning we had the piano playing all by itself.

We have gotten used to it and now refer to our resident as "Fred".
He/She is harmless and maybe enjoys our company.
