There’s a reason kids are at the center of some of the scariest horror films. They can be downright creepy! (If you’ve ever woken in the middle of the night to your child silently staring at you from the foot of your bed, then you know exactly what I mean.) Paris Hilton recently had an eerie encounter with her 2-year-old son Phoenix. He was convinced he saw a “ghost” in the house, and Hilton caught the odd (yet adorable!) moment on video.
Phoenix looks adorable in a blue dog shirt with shorts and a little friendship bracelet on his wrist in the new video on TikTok. He stands in front of wallpaper that looks like a bookshelf with antique books and points to something in the corner. “There’s a ghost in there,” he tells his mom matter-of-factly.

He repeats it a few times, and Hilton asks, “Where’s the ghost?” He turns to the corner, trying to open a door next to him. “Where is the ghost, honey?” she asks again.
“Ghost! Ghost!” he responds, and we are officially freaked out. Hilton is too, writing in a note on the video, “so cute, yet so scary I can’t.”
Later, he casually leans against the bookshelf wall eating a snack, when he drops the bombshell of where the ghost is: “Mama’s room.” Noooooo! “What’s in Mama’s room?” Hilton asks, even though she knows the answer.
At one point, Phoenix opens the door next to him and leans into the doorway to look at the hallway beyond before looking back to his mom. “You saw?” she asks. “Ghost in door,” he answers.
“Where?” she asks.
“Ghost in this door,” he answers. Then he just turns and silently stares out at the hallway as if he sees a spirit from beyond.
“Well, I’m spooked 🥺🩷” The Simple Life alum captioned the video. “To all my #SlivingMoms, has this happened with your little ones? Would love to know… for research purposes 👻✨”
In the comments, people were convinced that Phoenix was actually seeing a ghost. “💯 believe the babies … they see things we cant,” one person said.
Someone else wrote, “BELIEVE HIM. Kids his age don’t make that up. let me guess. is he 3 or almost 3 ?? That’s when they start to see them. I’m a Medium. He is being genuine.”
Others shared their experiences of their kids seeing odd things. “My son, Bentley, had several encounters when he was younger,” one person wrote. “He would never go in the kitchen when ‘the Man’ was in there. One time he even told my sister that her dad told him to tell her to be careful it was gonna rain. He’s never seen a pic of her dad and it did in fact start raining on her way home!”
That’s definitely eerie, and if we were Hilton, we would be freaked out too. (Especially if it’s in Mama’s room?!!)
Hilton, who shares Phoenix and daughter London, 18 months, with husband Carter Reum, has had a paranormal experience herself. In an interview with Nicole Richie for British Vogue, she shares that something spooky happened when she was visiting her grandma’s old house.
“We’re just like in the playroom, and a crown, like, started floating across the room,” Hilton shared.
“Because, supposedly, a girl who had lived there before, something happened in the driveway, like a hundred years ago,” Hilton went on. “And people would see her in the mirror, brushing her hair.”
“Sick!” Richie said. “Oh my god!”
“So scary,” Hilton added.
Maybe being slightly clairvoyant runs in the family? Either way, I would hire a ghostbuster immediately if I was Hilton.
