Actor Charlie Sheen has seen the ghosts of dearly departed friends during visits to their grieving families.

“When my friend [writer] Zalman King died, I went to comfort his widow, Pat. We were making a toast and I saw Zalman, who’d been dead for four hours, dance through the background. It was a trip,” contactmusic.com quoted the 46-year-old as saying.

“Another dear friend of mine, Stephanie, her father died. I was at her house, and he walked past me on the stairwell one day... I know it was him.

“I just accept stuff like that and don’t try to figure it out. I saw these people,” he said.
