Recent reports have resurfaced after the news of the discovery in David Attenborough's garden emerged which helped provide details for a case dating back to the 1800s. The eerie discovery is just one of many to hit A-listers during their time in the spotlight. While not all of them are as shocking as David Attenborough's horror find, they've still proven to be an utter shock to the celebrities whose homes have been invaded, haunted, or the site of a crime scene. 

From David's skull discovery to a woman living in Pamela Anderson's poolhouse and wearing her old Baywatch swimming costume, there have been some unexpected encounters that celebrities have had to face, many of which have resulted in a quick call to the police.

Including the BBC presenter's eerie discovery, let's take a look at some of the most shocking moments.

George Michael

George Michael once had a woman living under his floorboards

George Michael was once one of the biggest stars in the UK, but with the high profile living came some terrifying encounters. On multiple occasions, female intruders were found in his home, but one of the most dramatic encounters took place after a woman broke into his home and hid under his floorboards for four days. After four days she surprised him while he was talking to a friend and then heard his name being called, he told GQ Magazine at the time: "I had no idea she was under there, she suddenly presented herself. She had been there four days." Despite her arrest, she returned again and was seen wandering near the garden.

David Attenborough's garden find

It has recently resurfaced that when David Attenborough bought a property in Richmond, the renovations resulted in builders making a shocking discovery when they found a human skull in the back garden. A police inquiry took place which resulted in the theory that the skull likely belonged to Julia Martha Thomas, a widow who was murdered by her maid in 1879. The maid admitted to the murder, and she disposed of the body by dismembering it, boiling it in the laundry copper and burning the bones in the hearth. She threw the rest of the remains into the Thames, but it seems the head was not one of them. The maid posed as her employer before fleeing back to Ireland when she was exposed and was arrested, and later executed on July 29.

Pamela Anderson's female discovery

Pamela Anderson found an intruder had been living in her home for four days while she was at the height of her Baywatch fame. She previously explained that she came home to find a woman living in her guest house and wearing her iconic red swimsuit. She told Flaunt magazine at the time: "She had a letter that said 'I'm not a lesbian I just want to touch you'." Pamela explained that she had got her bathing suit out of her room, but didn't spot her until she saw a face in the window while being at home alone with two babies. Her security couldn't find her at the time, but when she finally did get arrested, officers asked if she wanted the swimsuit back and Pamela told them to keep it.
