Will Mellor wants to see a ghost.
The 49-year-old actor believes in "energies and spirits" and is keen to make contact with a spectre, even though the idea "scares" him.
He told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: “I believe in energies and spirits and stuff we can’t explain. It scares me but I like the idea there is more to us than flesh.”
Will and his pal Ralf Little recently went ghost-hunting at The Four Crosses in Cannock, which is believed to be one of Britain's most haunted buildings, where they witnessed a seance and stayed over as part of their TV series Will + Ralf Should Know Better.
But the former Hollyoaks star admitted he was "dreading" the trip and got very little sleep.
He said: “I was dreading it. I have a vivid imagination and have heard stories from my mum and sisters who said they’ve seen things that freaked them out and I believe them.
“I heard a banging noise three times in the night. It woke me up. I knew I wouldn’t sleep, I was like a meerkat all night. When daylight started coming in I felt safer and put my eye mask on!”
Meanwhile, Will recently admitted he is keen on a Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps reboot - but the BBC have rejected the ideas.
Will - who played Gaz Wilkinson from 2001 until 2011, when the show came to a natural end - told MailOnline: "I've tried. I even got a script written by [creator] Susan Nixon. A first episode draft called 'Two Pints Last Orders'.
"It was going to be like a final series. Where are they now kind of thing...
"BBC said no and BBC Three said no. They're repeating the old ones and they're getting the highest ratings on their channel, so you think, 'What are you doing?' "
The star admitted his good pal Ralf is more than up for a reunion - including a Christmas special.
He added: "I've said yes, I would do it. Ralf said yes. He would do it even if it was a Christmas special an hour long, just for the fans.
"It was a cult show that people got behind. Without the support of them, the show wouldn't have lasted that long."
