VANESSA HUDGENS' representative has laughed off reports the actress abandoned her California home because it's haunted, insisting the HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL star left the property so it could be renovated.

The 21 year old was said to have been spooked in her Studio City mansion and decided to move back in with her parents because she was "too scared to live there alone".

But Hudgens' rep has dismissed the OK! magazine claims, telling GossipCop.com the report is "absolutely false" and the actress has vacated the property because she is "having work done on the house".
