Celebrity Sighting<\/b>

Having been exposed to the mystical experience of dating a girl with ESP on screen in last year’s British comedy Solitaire for Two, actor Mark Frankel admits that the unexplained phenomena are not entirely new to him.<\/p>\n
In his time the 32 year old London born actor – star of Leon the Pig Farmer and the US TV series Sisters, Kindred the Embraced and Fortune Hunter – has enjoyed a varied, some would say wild, youth which included the opportunity to travel the world.<\/p>\n
“I was a very uncontrollable, wild kid” he agrees, “I got into lots of trouble, until I was into my early teens and basically had a great time doing it. It was anarchic behaviour but not in a vindictive way. I didn’t beat people up or anything like that”.<\/p>\n
“These days it’s controlled wildness; I like dangerous sports. I skydive, ride motorcycles and stuff like that, but I used to do more dangerous things as a child. I had a lot of accidents and spent months in hospital, I even had a motorcycle accident before I was legally allowed to ride one. I also had an accident with a javelin that put me in hospital for several months,” he adds mysteriously, “but I don’t want to go into that.”<\/p>\n
All of which might suggest that some form of concussion is behind Frankel’s bizarre experience, but he remains convinced that he actually saw a ghost.<\/p>\n
“When I was much younger I visited South Africa, and stayed at this old YMCA. I woke up in the middle of the night and saw two figures standing on the other side of the room. I was frozen with fear for about 15 minutes. It was probably about five minutes in reality, I had enough time to check that I was awake, but there they were standing and looking at me, not moving, although they swayed a little bit.”<\/p>\n
“One was very short, about three feet tall, and the other was a big guy holding a long staff. They had a kind of medieval costume on. Finally I plucked up the courage to run around them and switch the light on. At that they were gone.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
