Robin Williams' ghost has apparently stuck around and is haunting the California home the actor died in. According to UK's Daily Star, security staff members claim that Williams' ghost is playing pranks and then "chuckles at the jokes."
Shortly after Williams' suicide, the actor's wife reportedly hired a security team to look after the house while she made funeral arrangements.
"Security go in every couple of hours to check the alarm system but several times now the TV has been on when they've arrived," a neighbor reportedly told the Daily Star.
The source said one time security entered the house, a TV had been turned to a stand-up comedy show starring the late Richard Pryor.
"There's no way a human could get in there without triggering the alarm," the source said. "It has them well and truly spooked."
Instead of being spooked by the friendly ghost, one neighbor told the Daily Star, "It's typical Robin - to be playing practical jokes and making people laugh, even in the afterlife."
On Aug. 11 the 63-year-old actor was found dead in his home from an apparent suicide. At the time, his rep released a statement saying that Williams had been battling severe depression. His wife later revealed that the legendary actor was not only dealing with depression but had been recently diagnosed with early Parkinson's disease.
"Since his passing, all of us who loved Robin have found some solace in the tremendous outpouring of affection and admiration for him from the millions of people whose lives he touched," Schneider said in a statement. "His greatest legacy, besides his three children, is the joy and happiness he offered to others, particularly to those fighting personal battles."
"Robin's sobriety was intact and he was brave as he struggled with his own battles of depression, anxiety as well as early stages of Parkinson's disease, which he was not yet ready to share publicly," she continued. "It is our hope in the wake of Robin's tragic passing, that others will find the strength to seek the care and support they need to treat whatever battles they are facing so they may feel less afraid."
