Whoopi Goldberg set for another ghostly role

Whoopi Goldberg is heading back to the world of the supernatural - and this time she's playing a Ghost.

The actress, who won an Oscar for her role as a con artist who pretended she could speak to the dead in 1990's Ghost, will play a spook in a new Christmas movie.

Goldberg will also executive produce The Christmas Pearl, which will center on a maid who comes back from the dead.
