Halloween is approaching and it’s the perfect time for ghost stories. When it comes to celebrities who have encountered paranormal activities, Lady Gaga undoubtedly takes the spookiest story award home. The pop star and actress once spent thousands of dollars to buy ghostbusting equipment to find her stalker male ghost, Ryan. This episode happened during The Monster Ball Tour in 2009-11 when Ryan tagged along for a world tour with Gaga.

The Joker 2 actress’s tour began on November 27, 2009, and reached Belfast, Ireland, in February 2010, when the first reports emerged about a ghostly presence. By the time, she reached her next venue, London, the Do I Love You singer reportedly had the backstage area of The O2 Arena swept with electromagnetic field readers.

In February 2010, sources close to Lady Gaga revealed to the Daily Star that she was haunted by a male ghost named Ryan. While the juicy bits of how the haunting started or how it was disturbing the House of Gucci actress remained shrouded in mystery, it was clear that Gaga was utterly terrified. The ghost, apparently not a violent one, became a stalking presence as Gaga traveled across the world.
According to reports, Gaga, a spiritual person, sought help from a spirit medium and organized a séance in Belfast. The new Harley Quinn actress invited her friends to the séance, who despite their initial skepticism agreed to take part in this otherworldly ritual. One of the members of the American Horror Story actress’s crew shared with Daily Star:
“She is pretty terrified by this spirit, but more than anything he’s annoying her as he won’t leave her alone. He hasn’t been doing anything too violent or scary but she’s freaked out by his presence. She contacted a spirit medium and organized a séance so she could communicate with him and tell him to go away. She gathered all her friends over the weekend in Belfast and held a séance to communicate with Ryan and find out what he wants.”
Apart from Daily Star’s insider scoop, other reports suggested that she had sensed the presence even before her arrival in Ireland. It was rumored that she brought along a team of paranormal investigators for the tour, who meticulously scoured every nook and cranny of the venues and hotels she visited. However, by the time she left Dublin, her patience had worn thin.

Upon reaching London, the Bad Romance singer was convinced that she carried bad energy with her. The Mirror U.K. got information from a ghostbusting firm owned by Dan Webb that one of Lady Gaga’s aides had placed an order for $4500 worth of ghostbusting gear. This specialized kit included high-end electromagnetic field readers and was delivered to The O2 Arena in London. An insider from the firm told the Mirror:
“When I took the order for the kit I had no idea who it was for. But then I checked the listings and saw who was playing the O2. Her aide said the gear had to be robust as they were taking it on the road – so they must be doing this everywhere Lady Gaga is performing.”
It appears that Lady Gaga finally set her boundaries with Ryan and sent him away for good, as there were no further reports of his presence. The Monster Ball Tour ended in Mexico City on May 6, 2011, marking the end of this ghostly chapter.
