Noel Gallagher spent years moving brother Liam's furniture around to convince him there was a ghost

The Oasis frontman appears to be rather concerned by the paranormal

Incase you've spent the last 10 months with your head buried in the sand, Oasis have finally reformed and spent last night (4 July) playing their first show since 2009's V Festival.

Fans lucky enough to attend the opening gig of their latest tour at Cardiff's Principality Stadium have branded an image of brothers Noel and Liam walking onstage together the 'photo of the decade', and praised the band for their classy tribute to Liverpool footballer Diogo Jota.

And there will certainly be plenty of 'biblical' moments for fans lucky enough to attend any of the group's upcoming shows.

However, for those of us who were declared bots and unceremoniously booted out the ticket queue last August, the constant influx of Oasis reunion gigs will the FOMO will already be in full swing.

So, why not fill your days with humorously reading up on the best Gallagher brothers trivia, instead of cursing everybody who was able to get a ticket?

There's plenty of moments to chose from, but perhaps few are better than Noel's years-long dedication to convincing Liam he was being haunted by mischievous ghosts.

According to a 2016 report from The Mirror, Noel explained that whenever the pair were visiting 'anywhere remotely spooky' they'd all convince Liam the place was haunted.

"We’d tell Liam that the house was haunted, particularly his bedroom," he said.

"When he’d get up in the morning and go and have his breakfast, someone would go in and turn the pictures back to front, or f***ing move a lamp beside his bed across the other side of the room.

Recalling Liam's reaction to the humorous prank, the 58-year-old continued:

"He’d arrive pale: 'Have you been in my f***ing room?'

'No, why?'

'You’ve been in my room, because now the f***ing lamp is in the toilet.'

'No way, f***ing hell. Wow'."

The prank would appear to have influenced Liam's concerns about the paranormal, with the 52-year-old revealing he demanded to be moved into a different room while recording Definitely Maybe at Monnow Valley Studio in Wales.

"I go to bed, wake up in the morning and all the furniture is moved round," Liam claimed in the 2021 book Supersonic, which featured numerous interviews with the band over the years.

"I don’t remember much recording, just s***ing me pants because it was haunted."

Meanwhile, guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs also recalled the rumours, saying: "One of the staff says ‘So, who’s sleeping in Room Three?' [and] Liam replies 'That’s me'.

'Alright', came the reply 'You got the haunted one then'."

Although one can only wonder whether or not Noel and the band had orchestrated the whole thing, Liam's fear of ghosts seems to be one that has lasted through the ages as well, with the frontman revealing in an interview with Apple's Beats 1 that he was convinced that a rocking chair previously owned by John Lennon was a beacon for paranormal activity.

"Sometimes [it] freaks me out," he said. "Sometimes I come downstairs and it’s rocking on its own."
