The One Direction singer has splashed out three million pounds on a Los Angeles property previously owned by Hollywood star Gia Scala -- whose 1972 death was attributed to an overdose, despite her bruised body being found on a blood-stained pillow.

Now, a former resident believes the "Guns of Navarone" actress' presence can still be detected there, reports mirror.co.uk.

Jack Krane, who grew up in the house, said: "I always asked if someone died in one of these houses, and my parents said no.

"I have always felt something strange. That house is haunted, for sure. I've had a few ghost stories over there. It's creepy," he added.

The 22-year-old singer, who also owns a house in London, bought the five-bedroom, six-bathroom property last December but hasn't moved in yet as he's been having extensive renovations done.
