Sting Claims He Once Confronted A Ghost Sting has claimed he once confronted a ghost which wandered into his room at the dead of night.

The singer, who famously sang Spirits In The Material World in the 1980s, said wife Trudie Styler also witnessed the figure, standing with a child in the corner of their bedroom.

Sting said he also experienced flying objects and mysterious voices in one of his homes in an interview to be played on Radio 2.

He said: ''I would never have said I believe in ghosts, until I saw one - and I've seen a ghost with my own eyes.''

The musician, whose former band The Police recorded an album Ghost In The Machine, continued: ''I was in bed one night, a very old house I used to live in. And I woke up at three in the morning, bolt upright, looked into the corner of the room and thought I saw Trudie standing there with a child - our child - in her arms, staring at me.

''And I thought 'well, that's strange - why is she standing in a corner, staring at me?'. And I then reached next to me and there was Trudie, and I suddenly got this terrible chill. And she woke up and said 'Gosh, who is that?' and she saw this woman and a child in the corner of the room.''

Sting told presenter Claudia Winkleman, in an interview to be broadcast on Friday night at 10pm, that the figure simply disappeared.

Sounds as though Sting was having hallucinations. It happened to me once when I pulled a drunk. It was a simple matter of beauty enhanced intoxication.

Then Sting realized that it was only Keith Richards looking for a bathroom. Richards only looks dead.

Maybe it was the ghost of Trudie, the wife of Adrien Monk.

There’s an old joke about a pastor in church - the punchline of which goes - “I thought you said a GOAT”.

Seems particularly apropos here.

“Ghost in the Machine”???

IMO, one of the Police’s best albums...

I doubt it. Sting is FOS and probably made this up out of boredom bec the Police tour is over.

The same imbecile who questioned another person “You are a Republican...why??”

In other news, a ghost has claimed he was once confronted by The Stig. The ghost got scared and ran away. (Cue “some say...”)

It was the janitor. And he would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you meddling kids...

What's the difference between a bass player and a mutual fund?

One will eventually mature and earn money.
