In a 2021 interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Spencer said she believes her house is haunted — but by a ghost who seems to have her best interests at heart.
"I grew up watching Westerns and I bought this house, and it was owned by a guy who did Westerns, so I must have been a fan of his," she said. "I think he is my protector. I love him because he kind of sorts out the bad people that shouldn't be there. He runs them out."
She added that she trusts the ghost's judgement, and if people are scared away, she believes it's for a reason. "That's how I know that they don't belong there, because if you're a person that belongs there, everybody is like, 'Oh, your place is so welcoming, it's so great,'" she said.
However, the ghost apparently is a bit attached to her. "When I leave for a long time, he's a little shady. The doors close, the lights go off when I turn them on," she said. "I love my ghost. I just don't want you bringing your ghost to my house. I don't want anybody's ghost thinking they can be friends with my ghost. Because my ghost can haunt me, but he doesn't haunt me. We have boundaries."
