The designer Philippe Geluck confided in one of the most improbable anecdotes of his life, namely his neighborhood with Céline Dion in the early 2000s. A story which includes another even more improbable aspect: the diva’s house would have been affected by paranormal phenomena.
As the holidays approach, Philippe Geluck, the cartoonist of Le Chat, publishes “Everything is true”, a book in which he looks back on various improbable anecdotes from his life. Among these, one raises questions, namely “Céline Dion was my neighbor”. The Quebec singer did, however, live in the Walloon Brabant region, located south of Brussels, in order to prepare for her residency in Las Vegas under the leadership of Italian-Belgian director Franco Dragone, in the early 2000s.
But the anecdote does not stop there, since according to the designer, the diva would have moved into a house… haunted. The episode was reported on the show “L’essentiel chez Labro” broadcast on C8 on November 26. Philippe Geluck explains that Celine Dion’s team had rented “a sumptuous villa, built on a very old building” but that the experience was cut short.

“She had to stay there for three months and it lasted ten days because she felt bad vibes,” remembers the designer. The star of the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games would indeed have observed a certain number of phenomena that she would have ended up associating with the paranormal. “She double-locked a door and the next day the door was open, we didn’t know how… There were lights coming on, going off, the pool shutter opening, was closing…” explains Philippe Geluck.

A house marked by tragic events
This sequence of events convinced Céline Dion to leave the area, fearing that a curse would fall on her and her family. However, the events remaining unexplained, the Belgian cartoonist ensures that an investigation was carried out by the inhabitants of the region. “And in fact we realized that this house had been built on the ruins of an old monastery in which monks, gone mad, ended their lives… Some had committed suicide, and so she felt these very bad waves” explains the Cat’s father.
Obviously eager to believe in ghost stories, the designer ensures that the phenomenon continues to occur, not in the house but on his text: “with the page editor, we count the number of signs that the text contains [de cette histoire] : 1488. The postal code of the village” says the director astonished, sure to see a supernatural manifestation instead of a simple coincidence. Céline Dion obviously followed his advice, never setting foot in this house with its dark past again.
