Celebrity Ghost Stories

Overview

In 2020, Paula Abdul appeared in A&E’s revival of Celebrity Ghost Stories, a documentary-style series exploring performers’ accounts of unexplained experiences. The show pairs each guest with psychic medium Kim Russo, returning with them to places associated with events they remember.

Paula’s episode premiered on April 22, 2020. Unlike her performances on competition shows, this episode gives audiences a different perspective on her life: a personal story from her years in a California home.

Paula’s Episode

In the episode titled “Paula Abdul,” Paula returns to a former California residence where she recalls unsettling activity. Russo accompanies her as they revisit the property and discuss the experiences that affected her.

The premise centers on Paula’s own recollections and the program’s paranormal investigation. As with other accounts on Celebrity Ghost Stories, the supernatural interpretation is presented as the participants’ account rather than an independently established finding.

The program is identified by A&E as Season 1, Episode 3 of its 2020 version of the series.
