Matt Damon and Michael Douglas are said to be convinced that their new movie set is haunted.
The two stars have been shooting for 'Behind the Candelabra', which is about the life of famed pianist Liberace.
The duo is convinced that there is some supernatural activity going on around them and a male spirit has been watching them work.
"The movie centres around Liberace's last years with his young bodyguard/live-in lover, Scott Thorson, and several times during filming, Damon and Douglas turned to each other after a scene and said, 'Did you feel that?," News.com.au quoted a source as telling National Enquirer.
"They swear they've felt cold damp air swish by, reeking of a potent men's cologne.
Douglas portrays Liberace in the release, while Damon plays the role of Scott.
Douglas has spent a lot of time behind the piano while shooting scenes for the TV movie and it is then when he felt the presence at its most intense.
"He actually felt someone caress his shoulder," the insider said.
"He whipped around - but no one was there! Not only that, but on several occasions prop lights flickered uncontrollably," the source added.

It isn't just the rumors spreading about tyrant ghost hunters, shifty producers, and faking of proof, but the complete barrage of new shows hitting the cable channels that are bringing viewers close to mental exhaustion and even worse...apathy.
When "Ghost Hunters" show premiered, I'd been hunting a few years and was thrilled that someone else was out there not only using similar techniques, but was going to make everyone see what ghost hunting these days is really like compared to the old-fashioned methods of the spiritualist movement.
The first few seasons were admittedly a total thrill. I was seeing locations I hadn't hunted in, seeing similar results to things I'd experienced, and everyone around me was saying, "I don't think I could do that, it's so scary!"
The average person can go a whole lifetime without one paranormal occurrence and for him to turn on the TV and watch a show where he heard and saw explainable and unexplainable things, he is living vicariously and understanding what drives us hunters to sit there all night long while cold, uncomfortable, and then sent home to review hours and hours of footage until even more bleary eyed.
"Psychic Kids: Paranormal Children"
"Ghost Hunters"
"Ghost Hunters International"
"Ghost Hunters Academy"
"Ghost Adventures
"Paranormal State"
"Paranormal Cops" (BTW, showing tonight the first time after "Paranormal State" on A">Not to mention all the shows that died even more quickly and whose names do not stick out in any of our minds for obvious reasons)
Is this gluttony of new shows overwhelming us? Making us doubt the findings? Doubt true hauntings exist? I've heard several people say that the shows are the same thing over and over; people walking around talking to the walls, stopping to listen to sounds of the building, and then desperately trying to eek EVPs out of garbled background sounds with what does not resemble language in the least. With a yawn and sigh, they're turning their channels.
It's not as if they're not trying to draw us in. They've resorted to priests and holy water, gadgets and taunting, experts and psychologists, psychics and reality show competitions. They've attempted attractive young women, bulky steroid-fed males, middle-aged Texans and just about every blue-collar worker.
I think the only thing left is a geriatric paranormal show where the hunters are looking for their recently deceased friends from the nursing home.
I'd like to propose some new fresh alternatives. No, not a show about a family with 10 kids that bakes cakes in the daytime and hunts at night. (I'll leave that to the miserable TLC channel).
Here's my choices:
Bigfoot Hunters: A team of men in cami's, trekking into the woods, setting up a surveillance parameter (think "Predator" movie), lighting a bonfire, sitting there at night listening to the sounds and watching the shadows. Aren't all people a little uncomfortable with the concept of the dark woods and a thin nylon tent between you and who knows what? Afraid of the hoot of owls? The plink of an acorn dropping on the forest floor? These are all the things that made "Blair Witch Project" wildly popular.
Haunted House: This is a reality show take on ghost hunting shows. A haunted location set up with cameras everywhere. People stay in this B regular people doing it instead of professionals and the team changes all the time and they aren't hunting just one night like most shows-but for a period of time where something could actually be found.
UFO Hot Spots: When I was planning up a UFO sighting trip with others, I realized there's a lot of great hot spots around the country and if you watch the UFO news through MUFON and others, you'll see that they crop up in areas for a while and then move on to other locations. What if you assembled a group of perhaps a dozen or more members that head it out to the newest hot spot, sitting in a circle facing outward with cameras, each handling different quadrants of the sky in places where UFOs are frequently sighted?
I'd love to hear your concepts for replacements shows. I know ya'all and I expect some awesome ideas.

Along with a beautiful, heritage-listed location and a renowned collection of artworks, it seems Grafton Regional Gallery can now boast another drawcard - its very own resident ghost.
Members of the Queensland Paranormal Research and Analysis Group (QPRAG) recently conducted a night time paranormal investigation at the gallery's historic Prentice House in Fitzroy St based on reports from visitors and volunteers of ghostly occurrences there over the years.
After going over hours of data collected on the night from video cameras, digital voice recorders and electromagnetic field (EMF) meters, the results are in and the team believe they have found strong evidence of paranormal activity.
"Our conclusion is the gallery is rated a Category: 2 (Paranormal Activity captured but no visual evidence)," said Chris, one of the investigation team leaders.
This means the data gathered by the group ticked many of the boxes indicating paranormal activity, except for the holy grail of ghost-hunting - capturing an apparition on video or camera.
However, what the team did get were several digital sound recordings containing what they believe is Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP), which is unexplained recorded sounds or voices.
The team sent these recordings to The Daily Examiner.
One of the recordings contains a male-sounding voice clearly and commandingly saying "go!", while another contains what also sounds like a male voice saying something unintelligible.
These recordings turned-up on digital sound recorders placed near the gallery's staircase, which became a focal point of the overall investigation.
The team has ruled-out these voices coming from its own members, with the recordings being made either during a lock-out period on the night when the entire team was waiting outside the gallery, or in the case of one recording, during a period where two members were inside, but sitting in complete silence.
Along with the voices, Chris said several unexplained bangs and scrapes were recorded; irregular EMF activity (which is believed by ghost-hunters to indicate paranormal activity) was noted, and; two video cameras positioned inside the gallery were inexplicably turned off while recording, despite having plenty of battery power left.
The power switch on one of these cameras was actually found to have been physically turned to the "off" position, but no one was anywhere near the camera at the time.
Chris said a combination of these incidents, and others, led the team to the conclusion there was indeed paranormal activity at the gallery.
She also said the gallery investigation had proven to be one of the team's most eventful.
"Now that we've reviewed all the data, I think it's probably one of the best ones; it's the most we've ever picked-up in one night," she said.
"That's the thing - you can be on a site for three hours and not pick-up anything, but with the gallery, we've got at least half-a-dozen things which are questionable - we have no explanation for them."
Chris said the South-East Queensland-based QPRAG team was keen to return to Grafton soon and had its sights set on historic Schaeffer House, which is said to boast a ghostly tale or two of its own.
To celebrate the QPRAG team's findings, youngsters will soon get a chance to do some ghost-hunting of their own at the gallery, with day-time children's ghost tours to be held during the April school holidays.
