According to legend, the haunted house belonged to a socialite serial killer named Madame LaLaurie, who would kill and torture slaves in the 1800s.
PYRAMID TOMB
Cage actually had a pyramid tomb constructed for him in New Orleans near his reportedly haunted mansion.
This nine-foot tall pyramid tombstone is engraved with 'Omni Ab Uno', Latin for 'Everything From One.'
The actor himself has chosen to remain silent about his reasoning for the flamboyant tomb. Some speculate it's an homage to the 'National Treasure' movie franchise.

THE SHAH OF IRAN'S LAMBORGHINI
Cage purchased the 1971 Lamborghini Miura SVJ for $450,000 at an auction in 1997, hot off the successes of 'Con Ai'r and 'Face/Off'.
The car only had one previous owner, the late Shah of Iran Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and had fewer than 2,000 miles on it.
The Lamborghini was built to Pahlavi's special order and secretly delivered to his St Moritz chalet for a ski vacation before Christmas 1971.

DINOSAUR SKULL
A self-proclaimed history buff, Cage allegedly once outbid fellow actor Leonardo DiCaprio for a seven-million-year-old Tarbosaurus skull.
The $276,000 artifact turned out to be stolen, however, and Cage had to return it to the Mongolian government.

PYGAMY HEADS
According to unnamed visitors, Cage has a collection of pygmy shrunken heads on display for unknown purposes.
The practice was initially utilized by head hunters so they could keep and show off their trophies.
Shrinking the head of an enemy was believed to harness the spirit of that enemy and compel him to serve the shrinker.
COMIC BOOKS
Cage had a comic book collection worth more than $1.6million - including Action Comics #1, which marks the very first appearance of Superman. He allegedly spent $150,000 on the purchase.
He also reportedly owned Detective Comics #38, which introduced Batman's sidekick, Robin.
