Gulp. The Simple Life star, 44, confessed to being 'spooked' when little Phoenix, two, marched over to her bedroom and said there was a supernatural entity in the doorway. 'There's a ghost in there,' Phoenix can be heard saying while eating a slice of toast, before repeating himself and exclaiming: 'Ghost! Ghost!' When Paris asked the toddler to clarify what he meant, Phoenix repeated himself, saying, 'Room room, Mama's room… Ghost in door. Ghost in this door,' as he ventured into the spooky room. Captioning the disconcerting footage, Paris said: 'Well, I'm spooked 🥺🩷 To all my #SlivingMoms, has this happened with your little ones? Would love to know… for research purposes.' Over 3,000 of Paris' 11million followers took to the comments section to share their view on the strange moment, with many sharing their own paranormal experiences. 'I live in my great grandparents old house, my daughter aged 2 always used to sit at the edge of her bed talking to a 'man'. We were going through old photos and she pointed at my great grandad and said, 'it's the man,'' shared Katherine. Julie added: 'I had an imaginary friend when I was wee called Tommy. Turns out 2 children perished in a fire in our house years before, one called Thomas.' Paris lives in the now-spooky Beverly Hills mansion with Phoenix and one-year-old daughter London, who she shares with husband Carter Reum. This is not the US socialite's first brush with the paranormal, as in 2023 she recalled a terrifying moment in her grandmother's house, when during a sleepover she used a Ouija board. 'One night we were in the playroom and literally a crayon, like I'm not joking, you know those old school crayons, was floating in the air, went like this and flew up,' she said on an episode of her podcast This is Paris, as per Kiss FM. 'We were doing the Ouija board thing, which I am never doing again,' she added. While Paris didn't see the ghost, she is convinced they summoned the spirit of a 17-year-old teenage girl who lived 50 years before her grandmother took over the house. She explained how the girl was hit by a car in the driveway and killed, and people have reported seeing glimpses of her in mirrors behind them. 'Everyone was so scared to ever sleep at [her grandmother's] house again after that,' she said. Got a story?

Springville teen treatment center cited after staff harms teen — and it's not the first time
PROVO, Utah (ABC4) — A youth behavioral treatment center in Utah County was cited with non-compliance after a video allegedly showed a staff member striking a teenager while they were physically restrained. The placed conditions on Provo Canyon School's Springville Campus earlier this month, claiming the center harmed or mistreated a client. 'The Department is issuing these conditions on the license because of the Licensee's conduct adverse to the standards required to provide services and promote public trust, including aiding, abetting, or permitting the commission of abuse, harm, or mistreatment,' the DHHS document reads. Education Department threatens to pull federal funding over DEI programs — But Utah's likely in the clear Provo Canyon School describes itself as 'an intensive, psychiatric residential treatment center' that works with clients aged 12 to 17 with mental or behavioral challenges. The treatment center says it offers therapy interventions and training as well as academic instruction. On Dec. 1, 2024, DHHS said video footage showed a staff member striking a client while they were restrained. The department inspected the center two days after the video was taken and found that the center was not compliant with licensing regulations, as they had allegedly failed 'to keep a client free from harm or acts of violence.' On Feb. 5, DHHS sent a notice to the treatment center that conditions were being placed on its license due to noncompliance with regulations. The notice said this was not the first time the center had been cited with non-compliance for failing to keep a teenager 'free from harm,' referring to six other incidents since 2023 in which a client was harmed or mistreated. reached out to Provo Canyon School for comment but has yet to receive a response. Due to the December incident, DHHS is requiring that the campus in Springville comply with additional conditions in order to keep its license. First, the center must allow, and pay the cost of, additional monitoring inspections. The center is required to pay nearly $400 per inspection. The center is also required to give an in-person training on mistreatment and violence where staff will read, review, and sign a code of conduct. Finally, the center must inform clients and their guardians of the DHHS conditions and post a notice of them on campus and its website until May of this year. Provo Canyon School is known, in part, for its connection to celebrity Paris Hilton who, in recent years, has been vocal about her time spent at the treatment center in the late 1990s when she was 17 years old. According to the Associated Press, Hilton has since fought to close the center, calling her experience 'traumatizing' and detailing abuse allegations in a documentary called 'This is Paris.' While the treatment center has not provided comment on the most recent DHHS conditions, it previously published a statement for the media clarifying that the school was sold in 2000 and now operates under new ownership. The statement continued to say that the center does not 'condone or promote any form of abuse' and any allegations of such are immediately reported to authorities. 'We work with extremely complex individuals who often present a danger to themselves and others. Provo Canyon School is committed to the safety of our students and staff,' the statement read.
