Bobby Brown: I was mounted by a ghost in a spooky mansion

Bobby Brown has claimed he was mounted by a ghost in a haunted house – and insisted he wasn’t under the influence.

Brown , 47, opened up about the supernatural encounter during an interview with ABC to promote his new book, Every Little Step.

“I bought this mansion in Georgia,” he said. “This was a really, really spooky place.

“But yes, one time, I woke up, and yeah, a ghost. I was being mounted by a ghost.”

He insisted: “I wasn’t high. I was not trippin’.”

The R&B singer also opened up about his relationship with the late Whitney Houston and claimed he watched her take drugs on their wedding day.

Recalling how he felt at the time he said: “She wasn’t that. She didn’t do drugs. It made me love and want to protect her more.”

Fighting back tears he addressed reports that he was the driving force behind her drug habit.

“It wasn't me who started her,” Brown said. “I take my part and I take it hard for me even being a part of it, but we all have our own minds and some of us are stronger than others.”

Houston died on February 11, 2012 after she was found unresponsive in a bathtub in her suite at the Beverly Hilton hotel.

Her official cause of death was accidental drowning, but an investigation found cocaine and heart disease to be contributing factors.

In 2015, Houston’s daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown was found unresponsive in a bathtub at her home in Roswell, Georgia.

She was kept in a medically induced coma, but died on July 26, 2015. Her official cause of death was lobar pneumonia due to drowning and a cocktail of drugs in her system.

Speaking about his daughter’s death, Brown said: "The same thing that happened to my daughter, it happened to Whitney. The hardest thing I had to do in my life was tell my daughter to let go."
