3 Men and a Ghost

There is a scene in the movie Three Men and a Baby where you can see the ghostly figure of a small boy who was killed in the house where the scene was filmed. There are also tales of other ghostly objects being seen throughout the movie, most notably a rifle pointing at the head of the “ghost boy”.

That is the legend. Here are the facts. The scene in question was not shot in a house, but on a soundstage in a Hollywood studio. The “ghost boy” is in fact a life-sized cardboard cutout of Ted Danson (who stars in the film), which had been left in the background, presumably accidentally, by a crew member. This cutout is seen in full view in another scene in the movie.

There is no ghost boy. No boy ever died on the set, and no one involved with the movie was ever sued by the mythical parents of said ghost boy.

    Lol the boy is a ghost if you see the movie you can see the ghost follow with his eyes and turn his head as the grandma walks away with the baby. The movie was shot in a real house that was apparently nteduncle told me the story that a family lived there prior. The dad found out his was wife was having an affair, he threw his son out that window and the boy fell to his death the dad then shot himself. My uncle then told me to rent the movie . He knew the dad.
