It’s a little ironic that David Boreanaz plays the master of the mysterious in roles like a bloodsucker on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and in the spin-off show Angel. He currently stars as FBI agent Seeley Booth on the crime drama Bones. You’d think it would take a lot for him to get creeped out.
But the 41-year-old and his wife Jaime Bergman got a scare when they moved into a cozy home in Los Angeles earlier this summer with their two children, Jaden, 7, and Bella, 1. It didn’t take long for them to realize that they may have more company in the house then when they first counted.
“We’re not too sure,” he told Contact Music. “We woke up in the middle of the night and heard this big bang. It felt like the bed literally fell underneath us. My first instinct was, ‘We’re having an earthquake.’ Turns out, it wasn’t a quake.” One spooky experience doesn’t quite cut it, but then he went on. “Cut to two weeks later, the same thing happens. It’s like something picked our bed up. So Jaime and I think ghosts are here.”
When Boreanaz isn’t chasing vampires, criminals and now ghosts, he can be seen playing sports and has a special love for Philadelphia teams such as the Phillies and Flyers. In 2008 at the Sundance Film Festival, he played for charity at the Celebrity Shoot Out hockey game sponsored by Los Angeles Kings legend Luc Robitaille with tickets going for $40 a pop to benefit his children’s charity, Echoes of Hope.
Yesterday, Boreanaz went on FOX to talk about the new season of Bones and the Stand Up to Cancer telethon, where you can catch him tonight at 8 EST on ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX.
