A realtor for Adele’s former West Sussex mansion is having a hard time selling the property due to the singer’s past claims that the home is haunted. The current owner of the English estate, Nicholas Sutton, said that Adele’s comments “negatively impacted future marketing efforts and continues to affect the property’s reputation to this day.” According to Sutton, the 16-time Grammy-winner rented the 10-bedroom mansion for six months back in 2012. Adele told Anderson Cooper in an interview that her time at the estate – known as the Lock House – was “all quite scary, really,” and she hired a female bodyguard to stay in the home after hearing unexplained noises. Sutton only had one serious offer on the property in the 14 years it has been on the market, but it was rescinded “after learning about the property’s supposed haunted status, which was publicly mentioned by Adele during her tenancy.” (People)
