Marilyn Monroe's ghost to be summoned at seance

Marilyn Monroe's ghost is just one of the famous spirits that a seance in New York is hoping to conjure.

Robin Byrd, a New York media personality, will be taking part in the seance at Serendipity 3, a New York-based ice cream parlour, reports the Huffington Post.

Several famous faces including Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable and Andy Warhol, who used to trade paintings for dessert, have been patrons of the venue.

It is now hoped that the participants of the seance, who will include actress Sylvia Miles and Warhol's nephew James Warhola, will be able to conjure the spirits of these celebrities.

The seance will be led by the well-known medium physic Char Margolis who told the news provider: "It depends on who has something to say - it might be a former waiter who wants to speak.

"Honestly, in the spirit world, sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the grease."

Monroe was an American actress who died in 1962 from an overdose of barbarities, which has been a source of conjecture ever since as it may have been suicide, an accidental overdose or homicide.
