On Thursday, 22 January 2026, controversial celebrity gossip monger Musa Khawula shared a recording of Chloe Bailey sharing her experience living in a haunted apartment in South Africa. The post was captioned:

“Chloe Bailey talks about a haunted apartment she stayed in when she was in South Africa.”

In the audio recording, Chloe Bailey shared how the wi-fi would stop working every day at 10 PM, and all efforts to fix the issue were fruitless.

Bailey claimed that the situation worsened when the doors started opening and closing on their own. She said every time she would visit the bathroom, the lights would start flickering. Chloe said moving wasn’t an option because they had already moved.

“It got to the point where doors would randomly shut, and doors would randomly open. Every time I would go into my bathroom, the lights would start flickering. Anytime I go into my bathroom or my bedroom, the lights would start flickering. Mind you, my first instinct was to move. However, this was the second time we moved,” Chloe Bailey explained.

She said she tried everything from prayer to smudging, but her efforts were in vain.

“It got so bad and so scary that I would not want to be in there alone. I would stay with my God mom, so much so, I was like, listen, can I stay in your room with you? I was so scared to sleep in my bedroom alone. That's how scary it got. Of course, yeah, someone said prayer, of course I'd be praying. Lighting incense, lighting sage, all of that,” she said.
