Kevin Bacon revealed a strange stipulation he had to agree to before he was able to buy his Connecticut farm back in 1983.

During a conversation on Rob Lowe’s Literally podcast, the Footloose star explained how the previous owner made him agree to destroy the abandoned house on the property before he would sell it to him because he believed it was haunted.

‘One of the pieces that we bought had an old house in it and [the owner] didn’t want me to own the house. It was an abandoned house that he had grown up in,’ Bacon, 65, told Lowe.

He continued, ‘We kind of went back and forth on it for a while and then, eventually, I said, “Listen, you can’t sell me a piece of land but not sell me the house that’s on it. Like, that’s just weird. What if you sell it and there’s somebody that’s just living, basically, right up in the backyard?’

The old owner, who Bacon claims had ‘ghostbusters’ come to try and rid the spiritual entities out, was steadfast about the stipulation with the actor out of fear he would get ‘possessed’ and “do some serious damage.”

The Golden Globe winner went on to explain how they ‘back and forth on this haunted house thing’ for a while until finally they came to an agreement they both could live with: Bacon had to destroy the old house within a month of buying the property.

Lowe had to ask whether Bacon tempted fate and ‘spent a night’ in the abandoned house, but he confessed he wanted no part in messing with any potential spooky spirits.

‘Not only did I not do that, but I went up there and there were some beautiful old pine boards and a banister and I said to [my wife] Kyra [Sedgwick], “We’ve gotta take those out,”‘ he explained. ‘And she’s like, “No you’re not. You’re not putting those f***king things in our house.””

It turned out Bacon was talking with a self-proclaimed supernatural expert.

Lowe claimed that he once spoke to a real ghost in June 2017 while filming his series The Lowe Files, in which he investigated unsolved mysteries, according to Us Weekly.

‘Among the places we went [on the show] was a closed-down children’s reformatory slash prison in central California that’s notoriously haunted,’ the St. Elmo’s Fire star told Bacon.

He added, ‘I saw lights going off and on, literally like somebody was on a switch of an on and … and we got it on camera.’

Spooked by the incident, the former Brat Packer explained, ‘It was pretty intense. It sounds insane as I say it but they had this device that would pick up the frequencies [of ghosts] and convert them into speech. … It was hilarious. The thing kept asking for pizza. It was both really super absurd but also really scary.’

Not testing fate: After revealing to Lowe that he wanted no part of spending one night in the abandoned house, Bacon said he ‘went up there and there were some beautiful old pine boards and a banister and I said to [my wife] Kyra [Sedgwick], “We’ve gotta take those out,”‘ he explained. ‘And she’s like, “No you’re not. You’re not putting those f***king things in our house.”‘

Bacon, who just celebrated 35 years of marriage with Sedgwick earlier in September, ended up agreeing to destroy that old ‘haunted’ home within a month of buying the property as part of the deal with the previous owner in 1983

Bacon and wife Kyra Sedgwick first met on the set of the PBS version of Lanford Wilson’s play Lemon Sky in 1987.

They would waste little time in tying-the-knot the following year in September 1988.

The couple, who also reside on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, are the proud of two children: son Travis, 34, and daughter Sosie, 31.

Bacon made his film debut in the now classic comedy National Lampoon’s Animal House (1978), and has since gone on to star in a slew of popular movies such as Friday The 13th (1980), Footloose (1984), Planes, Trains And Automobiles (1987), Tremors (1990), JFK (1991), A Few Good Men (1992), Apollo 13 (1995), Wild Things (1998), Mystic River (2003), X-Men: First Class (2011), Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011), and Black Mass (2015), among many others.
