Kelsey Grammer believes he received some help from the other side of the veil in calming an argument with his wife.
The actor, 70, who was promoting his new book, Karen: A Brother Remembers, which revisits her grisly murder and its aftermath, on The Jamie Kern Lima Show on Thursday, revealed what happened.
The Frasier star and bride Kayte Walsh, with whom he tied the knot in 2011, were living in his late mother’s house at the time when they got into ‘a bit of a tussle.’
Before going to bed, the couple heard a loud noise.
‘We had a great moment when Kayte and I were having a fight when we were in our early [days], our first year together basically,’ he began.
‘We climbed into bed kind of mad with each other, and I heard this huge bang in the living room and said, “What the heck?”‘

After a brief chat about who should go and look into the noise, Grammer said he got up and went into the living room.

The TV was on, which the Paper Empire actor thought was ‘weird,’ because he knew he had switched it off before going to bed.
‘I looked around a little bit, turned it off, and thought, “Thanks mom.” You know? “Don’t go to bed angry with each other.”‘
When he returned to the bedroom, he discovered Walsh had also had an interesting moment.
‘What did your mom smell like?’ she asked, revealing she ‘had smelled flowers’ while he was in the living room.
‘It was really something, really something,’ he said. ‘I thought, “This is real, this is not something heretical going on.”‘

‘I don’t try to convince people they should think the way I think or see God the way I see God or experience this universe the way I experience it, but I will not deny my faith,’ he ᴀsserted.

Grammer said it was a message from his late sister that told him to ‘tell’ her tragic story. The memoir, Karen: A Brother Remembers was published on Tuesday
‘Esther’s pretty gifted. I’ve known a few gifted people. I produced a show called Medium, and that was part of it,’ he said.
‘I was always kind of in that community a little bit. I found out, of course, everybody who’s a medium actually wants a television show. So a lot of people contacted me for a while,’ Grammer said of how he met the medium.
‘You do find out that some are really gifted… But if you’ve got somebody who doesn’t know you, who’s accurate about your life 70% of the time, pulls names out of the air, you may as well pay attention, whatever your point [of view] is, or whatever jaundiced view you may have of the whole mediumship issue.’
