Heath Ledger's Ghost

First of all, this story is almost certainly made up. I don't know what kind of journalistic standards the U.K.'s Metro have, but one should always be suspect of any story that uses "friends" of a celebrity as its only sources. Still, it's interesting to note the weird implications here. According to the aforementioned "friends" of actress Michelle Williams, she's been haunted by the ghost of her former husband Heath Ledger, who died tragically after ingesting fourteen pharmacies' worth of pills. Supposedly, these spooky visitations (which have supposedly included the sounds of moving furniture at night and the appearance of Ledger as a "shadowy apparition") have somehow helped Williams grieve. I've tried my best, but I just fail to see how this kind of haunting could bring anyone comfort. If anything, it would be evidence that Ledger's soul is somehow shackled to this corporeal reality, cursed to move furniture and flutter about his ex-lovers' nightmares. Hey, maybe there's a Terry Gilliam movie in here somewhere. Anyway, it's just another example of how lucky we are that ghosts don't actually exist. More details here.
