Jehnny Beth had a spooky encounter at Josh Homme’s house

Right on time for Halloween season, Savages’ frontwoman Jehnny Beth has revealed a spooky encounter that scared the life out of her while she was staying at Josh Homme’s house. The Queens of the Stone Age singer was on holiday, and Beth was alone there when she thought she heard an intruder.

“The alarm was saying something ‘INTRUSION: SECTOR 34’, which I knew meant that one of the doors or windows had been opened, she told listeners on her Beats 1 show Stop Making Sense.

“Then the phone suddenly rung very loudly,” Jehn continued. “‘DRIIIING, DRIIIIING’. I jumped to answer. ‘Hello, this is the police officer – please state your name and give me the code of the alarm,’ said the masculine voice on the other side… I gave him my name, and the code number. Then the phone instantly hung up. It was me, alone, back in the house again.”

“I listened to the silence. I didn’t move. More thoughts came into my mind. I just gave my name and the alarm code number to a complete stranger on the phone? How can I be so stupid? I started panicking. My cellphone rang and it was Justin, Josh’s studio assistant. ‘Justin, I don’t know what to do – apparently someone broke into the house…’”

“‘You’ve got to find the window and close it,” Justin apparently told her “‘It’s in the master bedroom upstairs. You’ve got to find the open window’. ‘Really?’ I said, looking at the empty stairs in front of me. ‘But it’s dark out there’, I said. So I armed myself with courage and a kitchen knife and I started walking up the stair case. I found that even with the lights on, the rooms were very dimly lit. I walked through a long corridor, full of closed doors….

“I was so terrified. I didn’t want him to hang up. There was a storm outside and I could hear it crack really loudly. I opened the bedroom door, and there I saw on the floor something under cover in white sheets. ‘There’s some stuff on the floor’, I whispered to Justin. ‘Really?’ he said, ‘what is it?’ I started walking towards it slowly, and when I got close enough, I kicked it with my shoe. Then I heard a sound coming from a dark corner of the room. It was the window, which when pushed by the wind suddenly opened. Letting the rain come in, violently. I looked back down at feet, and I saw what was really there on the floor…

“Just a random bunch of pillows,” Jehnny Beth added, concluding her spooky tale. “Mmmm, fear. Fear. Fear.”
