New San Francisco 49ers quarterback swears teammate George Kittle’s house is haunted o the back of a scary experience there. And it appears the QB has seen ghosts for the second time that we know about.
The player infamously claimed to be “seeing ghosts” during a game against the New England Patriots in 2019, with cameras catching him saying as much while on the sideline.
He probably did given that he threw 11-of-32 for 86 yards and four interceptions en route to a 33-0 loss. Having signed with the Niners this offseason and looking toward potentially starting given the injuries to Brock Purdy and Trey Lance, the 26-year-old bunked at Kittle’s house during OTAs, before getting his own place.
Darnold was a guest on Barstool’s ‘Pardon My Take’ podcast recently and shared that he believes the tight end’s house might be haunted.
“I woke up, and you know how sometimes you have a dream and then you wake up and you feel like you can’t move for like maybe four or five seconds, whatever it is?” he recalled.
“I felt that, and I woke up, it was like 3 a.m., went to go take a pee and, you know, came back, fell right asleep. And then, that next night, the same thing happened, and I couldn’t, like, I had to keep focusing on this thing … there was something else in the room,” he continued.
“But it was just like super, super weird, and it just felt like when I woke up there was something, like, holding on to me, and then that next night, I … felt that something was in the room with me, and it was … the freakiest thing. I’m like getting chills talking about it right now, but that’s never happened to me before.”

Sounds like a fairly common case of sleep paralysis, but who knows? The faster he got out of there, the better. Plus it seems like the encounters stopped once he got his own living space.
Darnold is hoping to get his career back on the rails after going to the NFL as the third-overall pick in 2018 and failing to realize his potential in three seasons with the New York Jets. The Jets traded him to the Carolina Panthers in 2021 and he’s now set to play for a coach known to bring the best out of quarterbacks.
