Reality TV star and cosmetics mogul Kylie Jenner has sent shivers down fans' spines by claiming her multi-million dollar California mansion is haunted. The revelation came in a dramatic new teaser for the upcoming episode of the family's Hulu series, The Kardashians.
A Ghostly Revelation on Camera
In the preview clip, Jenner is seen dressed in a burgundy tube top, her long black hair down, as she confides in her mother, Kris Jenner. "My house has been haunted since I have been there," the 28-year-old declared. The property in question is the lavish $12 million white mansion she purchased in the exclusive enclave of Hidden Hills, California, back in 2016.
Kris Jenner's reaction was one of visible shock, captured while she wore an ivory suit, black sunglasses, and a distinctive gold-and-diamond clown pendant. Not missing a beat for some sibling humour, Khloe Kardashian—wearing a black-and-beige animal print pajama set—teased her younger sister by making spooky ghost noises off-camera.
The Phenomenon of Haunted Homes
Jenner's eerie experience taps into a widely discussed phenomenon. It is estimated that around 10 percent of houses in the United States are believed to be haunted, experiencing unexplained events such as strange sounds, moving objects, or sudden temperature drops. Experts and enthusiasts suggest these hauntings can originate from a tragic history tied to the property, residual energy, or spirits attached to objects or even the land itself.
One of America's most famous examples is the Winchester Mystery House in California. This sprawling mansion was built by rifle heiress Sarah Winchester with a deliberately confusing layout—featuring stairways to nowhere and secret passages—reportedly to confound the ghosts of those killed by Winchester rifles.
New Beginnings and Personal Growth
The ghostly claims coincide with a period of significant change for Jenner. She is preparing to move out of the Hidden Hills house and into a new, custom-built dwelling on a plot of land she purchased for $15 million five years ago.
This move aligns with a newfound perspective on life she recently shared. In last week's episode of The Kardashians, Jenner reflected on growing up in the public eye, stating, "I can't live for whatever everyone else wants me to do. I just have to try and do what's best for me every day." She acknowledged the profound impact fame has had on her since childhood but is now focused on navigating life on her own terms.
This protective stance extends to her relationship with Hollywood actor Timothee Chalamet, which she largely keeps private. Despite their demanding careers, a source told Us Weekly that the couple, who have been dating for two years, "are very much together" and successfully make their romance work despite busy schedules and frequent travel.
Jenner, who shares two children with ex-boyfriend Travis Scott, recently expressed on sister Khloe's podcast that she feels the "stars are aligning." She credits her current happiness to personal growth, maturity, and surrounding herself with the right people.
