Brad Pitt lets his 105-year-old neighbor live rent-free in his Los Angeles mansion

Brad Pitt allowed his elderly neighbor to live in a house in Los Angeles rent-free, according to People magazine. Pitt reportedly bought the house for $1.7 million from Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, aka Cassandra Peterson, in 1994 and sold it in March for $40 million. Angelina Jolie's ex-husband was expanding his real estate portfolio, which included the house where his elderly neighbor lived. Peterson told the media:

"I think there were about 22 houses that were attached to the edge of the property. And every time they came up, he'd buy one."

Due to the fact that his neighbor was so old, Pitt allowed him to live out the rest of his life at home. Peterson said:

"He was very, very kind to the man. His wife died and the man, John, was living there. I know Brad let him live there without paying anything until he died."

Peterson joked that the rent-free deal took longer than Pitt expected. Cassandra said:

"It was kind of funny because John lived to be 105. I imagine Brad was thinking, 'Well, you know, he could live there until he dies, which could be any minute from now.'"

Pasi Peterson i shiti Pitt shtëpinë e saj në vitet ’90, ajo qëndroi afër. Ajo e përshkroi aktorin fitues të çmimeve si “gjithmonë i sjellshëm dhe i ëmbël”. Ajo kujtoi se kishte parë Pitt duke u stërvitur për filmin e vitit 1999 “Fight Club” teksa ishte duke shëtitur. Peterson shtoi:

"Unë kaloj pranë garazhit të Brad dhe ai është atje i veshur vetëm me pantallona sportive. Ai ka veshur doreza boksi dhe po godet një thes boksi. Betohem se për pak i ra të fikët."

Rezidenca në Los Feliz është vendi ku Pitt dhe Jolie jetuan dhe rritën gjashtë fëmijët e tyre. Peterson pohoi në një intervistë të fundit se shtëpia ishte e përhumbur. Ajo pretendon se e ka shkarkuar shtëpinë në vitet ’90 sepse ishte e përhumbur. Por kjo doli të ishte një pikë e shitjes për zemërthyesin e ardhshëm të Hollivudit.

Peterson explained that while she and her then-husband were discussing the house with Pitt, “we were just warning him that a lot of weird stuff was going on in the house since we moved in. She said these "strange things" weren't just shadows or strange noises. The former owner of the house says:

"I've seen people walking upstairs, like, real people just walking. Once, a ghost was sitting downstairs in front of the fireplace, once it went into my bedroom and came out again."

The situation was so grave in her mind, she called a priest to perform an exorcism at home.
