Adele has been accused of damaging the possibility of selling a mansion after she allegedly claimed it was haunted.
The Rolling In The Deep singer, 36, lived in a £6 million property in West Sussex for six months in 2012 and told CBS host Anderson Cooper that year that she found the mansion "quite scary" - sparking reports it is haunted.
Now current owner Nicholas Sutton has claimed he's been unable to sell the property for more than a decade due to the rumours.
He says a recent potential sale fell through after the buyer learned of the 10-bed building's alleged haunted status.
Speaking to The Independent, Sutton declared, "Unfortunately, during an interview on CBS, Adele remarked that she believed the house to be haunted.
"This comment negatively impacted future marketing efforts and continues to affect the property's reputation to this day."
The frustrated seller said, "The only offer received over the years was in August 2020, but the prospective buyer withdrew after learning about the property's supposed haunted status, which was publicly mentioned by Adele during her tenancy."
Sutton is now petitioning his local council to transform the property, called Lock House, into flats - saying is proving to be "unsellable" in its current form.
The planning application, presented to Horsham district council, is yet to be decided upon by local authorities.
