Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga believed Friday’s earthquake in New Jersey “was a ghost.” She admits to “screaming” and calling 911.
Initially, Melissa Gorga thought the 4.8-magnitude earthquake that hit New Jersey and the tri-state area on Friday 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 told Entertainment Tonight shortly after the quake shook her home on Friday.
According to Melissa Gorga, she was working out in her Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, home when she felt the ground begin to shake underneath her.
“I have weights in my hands, and I was like, ‘What is happening?’ It sounded like my roof was shaking, the floor was shaking, and it really did sound like a stampede, like people were running, running, running. And I just froze ’cause I get nervous,” she explained.
The Bravoleb was home alone and thought her home may have been invaded because she received a notification that the front door was open.
“I am screaming. I’m running up the stairs,” she said. “I have 911 ready to push, so I dialed it on my phone.”
After learning that NJ and the surrounding states experienced an earthquake, Melissa Gorga took to Instagram to poke fun at the situation.
“EARTHQUAKE in NJ! Omg!!” she captioned the post.
“I just went running up my stairs from the basement/working out while calling 911 because it sounded like a stampede was going on upstairs, and then I got a notification on my phone that my front door was open!” she added. “I was freaking out! That was a first!”
