Reports are flooding the net saying that Paula Abdul is haunted by her alleged stalker's suicide -- but is it true?

That's a no. Rumors circulated that Abdul was so freaked out by the death of "Idol" hopeful Paula Goodspeed that she's afraid to go home -- fearing Goodspeed's spirit is haunting her! But a rep for the "American Idol" judge insists that Paula has been home since Goodspeed's body was discovered in a car there last week.

Goodspeed had sent flowers to Abdul last week, and had nearly overdosed one other time outside Abdul's home.
