10 Debunked Movie Myths You Totally Believe

10. There's A Ghost In The Window - Three Men And A Baby

Three Men and a Baby is one of the 80s most enjoyable comedies. A silly premise with great stars, including Tom Selleck and Ted Danson, the film was a mega-hit upon release. The last thing anyone was expecting from the film was to see a ghost boy scattered throughout the house where the movie was shot.

For a long while, it was believed that the boy was the ghost of a young murder victim, and the house where the film was set was not just a real-life house, but the centre of tragedy.

This rumour persisted for years, increasing DVD sales and becoming a brilliant conversation piece for people interested in the supernatural appearing on film.

In 2017, though, Tom Selleck appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he decided to put the whole thing to rest. He said that there was (obviously) no ghost, but that the figure seen in the film is actually a cardboard cut-out of Ted Danson, whose character in the film is an actor who happens to keep life-sized cut-outs of himself around the house.
