Melissa Gorga believed NJ earthquake ‘was a ghost,’ called 911: ‘I was screaming’

Melissa Gorga initially thought the 4.8 magnitude earthquake that rocked the Tri-State area was a ghost.

“I was freaking out a little bit … I’m like, ‘Wow! Like, I’ve never experienced a ghost before, like, maybe that was a ghost,'” the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star recalled to Entertainment Tonight not long after the quake shook her home Friday.

Gorga, 45, said she was working out in her Franklin Lakes, N.J., mansion when she felt the ground rumbling beneath her.

once Melissa regained her cool, she took to Instagram to make fun of the situation by sharing a home security video. While the house did not appear to shake in the video, rattling noises could be heard along with two screams from the reality star.
