Jermaine Jackson can't sleep with the lights out after a spooky encounter with ghosts at the family's Encino, California compound left him terrified of the dark.
The Do What You Do singer told all about the Jackson family's haunted history during a recent taping of U.S. TV show Celebrity Ghost Stories, revealing the estate that became his home in 1968 was built on Indian burial grounds and attracted all manner of spirits.
And Jackson was left spooked late one night when two evil ghosts visited him in the bedroom he shared with brother Marlon.
He claims the elderly ghosts picked on him at a time he was exhausted and stressed following a long day in the studio with the Jackson 5.
He says, "I felt very frightened... I think they picked a time when you're weak. I was very very tired and very sleepy and that was the moment for them, so I gave them the opportunity to come and visit me.
"From that point on I never slept with the lights out. To this day I sleep with the lights on."
