Kevin Bacon destroyed haunted house on his farm over previous owner thinking he’d get ‘possessed’

Kevin Bacon, who starred in sci-fi films such as “Flatliners,” destroyed a haunted house on his northwestern Connecticut farm when the previous owner feared he might become “possessed” by an otherworldly entity.

“One of the pieces that we bought had an old house in it and [the owner] didn’t want me to own the house. It was an abandoned house that he had grown up in,” Bacon said on Rob Lowe’s “Literally” podcast last month.

Bacon said he bought the “turn of the century” rural farm in 1983 to buy a horse with an ex-girlfriend.

He bought up plots around his property every few years to keep the area private.

The “Mystic River” actor said the previous owner, who he didn’t name, “went back and forth on it for a while” about Bacon buying the plot with the exclusion of the building.

“Eventually, I said, ‘Listen, you can’t sell me a piece of land but not sell me the house that’s on it. Like, that’s just weird,” Bacon said.

After much persistence from Bacon, the land owner revealed his horrifying reason for hesitating to sell the plot to the actor.

“He said, ‘I can’t sell it to you because it’s haunted, and I’m afraid that you’ll get possessed and, you know, do some serious damage,’” the “Apollo 13” star recalled.

Bacon and the owner later came to an agreement but under one condition.

“In the contract, I had to destroy [the house] within a month (of purchase),” he chillingly revealed.

The upbeat podcast host then asked Bacon if he at least spent a “night” in the house before he destroyed it.

“Not only did I not do that,” Bacon said. “But I went up there and there were some beautiful old pine boards and a banister and I said to Kyra (Sedgwick), ‘We’ve gotta take those out.’ And she’s like, ‘No you’re not. You’re not putting those f—ing things in our house.’”

Lowe — who agreed with Bacon’s wife on not taking anything from the haunted home — asked if the owner had ever divulged the haunted history of the land to him.

“It was a long story that had to do with a Native American who, in the 1700s, had been murdered by a colonial soldier,” the “Death Sentence” actor shared.

“[The owner] had had ghostbusters there. It was a whole long thing.”

Bacon said he has not experienced any supernatural phenomena despite owning the land for years.

“Everybody wants to know, well, have you ever seen a ghost? Do you believe in ghosts?” he said.

“The thing I always say is, ‘I would really love to, but, as of yet, it hasn’t happened. But I hope someday it will.’”
