<\/div>\n

The Foo Fighters<\/a> reportedly faced something entirely new while making their upcoming 10th album: ghosts. Dave Grohl<\/a> recently told Mojo<\/em> that the house in Encino, California \u2014 a Forties construction \u2014 where they recorded had a sinister past.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we walked into the house in Encino, I knew the vibes were definitely off but the sound was fucking on,\u201d Grohl said, according to NME<\/a>. \u201cWe started working there and it wasn\u2019t long before things started happening. We would come back to the studio the next day and all of the guitars would be detuned.<\/p>\n

\u201cOr the setting we\u2019d put on the board, all of them had gone back to zero,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe would open up a Pro Tools session and tracks would be missing. There were some tracks that were put on there that we didn\u2019t put on there. But just like weird open mic noises. Nobody playing an instrument or anything like that, just an open mic recording a room. And we\u2019d fucking zero in on sounds within that. And we didn\u2019t hear any voices or anything really decipherable. But something was happening.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group attempted to document the paranormal phenomena with a \u201cnest cam\u201d to take video of the studio when they weren\u2019t there. \u201cWe started to see things on the nest cam that we couldn\u2019t explain,\u201d Grohl said. So he took it to the homeowner who detailed the house\u2019s illustrious past \u2014 but Grohl won\u2019t say what he found out. \u201cI had to sign a fucking non-disclosure agreement with the landlord because he\u2019s trying to sell the place,\u201d he said. \u201cSo, I can\u2019t give away what happened there in the past but these multiple occurrences over a short period of time made us finish the album as quickly as we could.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Miraculously, they finished the recording and got out of there. One of the songs on the album features a riff that Grohl has been refining for the last 25 years. \u201cThe first time I demoed it was in my basement in Seattle,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Foo Fighters, of course, are not the first band to record under supernaturally daunting circumstances. Black Sabbath infamously wrote their 1973 album, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath<\/em>, in a haunted castle<\/a>. The Red Hot Chili Peppers encountered ghosts<\/a> at a building dubbed \u201cThe Mansion\u201d while making Blood Sugar Sex Magik<\/em>. Nine Inch Nails cut The Downward Spiral <\/em>in the home where Sharon Tate lived at the time of the Manson massacre<\/a>. And Radiohead worked on OK Computer <\/em>in a house Thom Yorke described as \u201cvery haunted.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n
