The ghost of famed actor Gene Wilder has been reported as haunting a residence near Bakersfield College. This is a previously unheard of phenomenon, as the ghost of a still living individual has never been reported.
“I was shocked, to tell you the truth,” said Jim Sandberg, who resides in the prematurely haunted house. “I saw the ghost and thought, ‘Hey! Isn’t that Willy Wonka?'”
The mode of action to rid the house of the poltergeist is being researched. All of the methods used to rid an abode of a ghost are in the case of the ghost belonging to someone who is already deceased. With this being the case, the Sandberg family is not sure what will happen next.
“We called our priest, and he said he knows of nothing that we can do,” Judy Sandberg said. “He did recommend getting in contact with Mr. Wilder.but his agent refuses to let us through.”
Known for his roles in films such as “Blazing Saddles,” “See No Evil, Hear No Evil,” “Young Frankenstein,” and, most notably, “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,” Gene Wilder’s last appearance on television was in 2003 on an episode of “Will and Grace,” and he has not been in a movie since 1991.
“What do people expect me to do?” exclaimed the ghost of the actor when asked for comment. “The man hasn’t done anything in forever.”
