'I've Had Conversations With Ghosts,' Says Meat Loaf

Rock legend Meat Loaf is known to have been through a number of near-death experiences, surviving a brutal car crash and almost dying after diving off stage, breaking both of his legs. But now, Meat Loaf has said that he often goes through a different type of near-death experience – with claims that he often speaks to and sees ghosts.
Speaking to Shortlist, Meat Loaf has said that ghosts and ‘sprits’ often visit him and he speaks to them using a ‘K2 meter’, which allows them the supernatural beings to answer yes or no. He also told of a time he mistook a ghost for a groupie – and then chased her round the room.
“I believe there's something when you die because there are ghosts,” he told the news site. “I've seen them, I've been around them. Some are just energy left behind, and some are intelligent. I've had conversations with them using a K2 meter, which lets them answer 'yes' or 'no'.”
“I chased one across the room once. And when we were making 'Bat Out Of Hell' I saw a blonde girl in a white dress. I went downstairs and told the guys, 'There's a groupie up on the balcony,' and they go, 'How would she get up there?' Everybody went up and no one was there.”
He went on to talk about his rock lifestyle – or lack of it - saying “Groupies cursed at me because I wouldn't take them home. I'd go, 'I can't do it,' and they'd go, 'Well fuck you then.' I don't have many wild stories from the 70s or the 80s. The 60s, though, were crazy. I did acid and hung around everybody like Hendrix, Daltrey, Joplin, The Dead,” before adding that he’d like to die on stage. “I go out on the stage as if it’s the last thing I’ll ever do. And that’s what I’ve always said - if I'm going out, I'm going out on stage.”
Meat Loaf’s 12th studio album ‘Hell in a Handbasket’ hits shelves on February 27th. Check out Stereoboard's review of the album HERE.
