Keanu Reeves
In 2014, he told Jimmy Kimmel, “I’m probably, like, 6, 7 years old, we’d come from Australia. Renata, [our] nanny, in the bedroom, my sister is asleep, she’s sitting over there, I’m hanging out. There was a doorway, and all of a sudden, this jacket comes waving through the doorway, this empty jacket — there’s no body, there’s no legs, it’s just there. And then, it disappears.”
He added, “I was a little kid, and I thought, ‘Okay, that’s interesting,’ and I looked over at the nanny, and she [was making this terrified face]. And I’m like, ‘Oh, wow, so that was real.'”
Kesha
Back in 2012, Kesha told Conan O’Brien that she’d gone “to the bone zone with a ghost,” while she was on a trip in Fort Worth, Texas. Years later, she clarified that she didn’t actually have sex with the ghost, but while she was in bed with her boyfriend, she was woken up by “a touch down the body.” She added, “I woke up and looked at the end of the bed, and there was an apparition of a woman.”
Megan Fox
In 2014, she told MTV News, “I was just in Mexico at my hotel, and it was a bedroom, living room, bedroom. … I had pre-ordered breakfast for 7:30, and at 7 a.m., I hear them come in with the table, I hear them pouring the coffee. … 30 minutes later, at 7:30, I went in there, no table, no coffee, no food, no nothing, no one there. Doorbell rings, I open the door, it’s room service with my food. … Brandy, the nanny, comes out later and says, ‘Why did room service come at 7 when we told them to come at 7:30?’ So, you can’t tell me I’m crazy because two people heard it.”
Matthew McConaughey
Back in 2009, he revealed the first time he saw her, saying, “I was not even under the influence, and she was there. She wasn’t that happy; it didn’t seem like she was going to be much fun to hang around or have in my house, so I went ahead and stood my ground. I opened the door and said, ‘You can move around all you want, but I’m not going anywhere.’ For weeks, everyone that came to the house said the same thing: ‘There’s someone down in that hall; there’s somebody down in that hall.'”
Jenna Bush Hager
In an interview with Kelly Clarkson, she explained when she was a teenager, she discovered that the building was haunted. “They were musical and came with no harm. They were kind, friendly, compassionate ghosts.” She said, “It was in college when people would call late. And our phone rang, and I woke up, and all of a sudden, we heard 1920s piano music coming out of our fireplace. And I was like, ‘Surely, that’s the cat or something.’ But it was the middle of the night, and you could feel the music out of the fireplace. We tried to talk ourselves out of it, too.”
Kristen Stewart
In an interview with Vanity Fair, she explained, “I talk to them. If I’m in a weird, small town, making a movie, and I’m in a strange apartment, I will literally be like, ‘No, please, I cannot deal. Anyone else, but it cannot be me.'” She added, “Who knows what ghosts are, but there is an energy that I’m really sensitive to. Not just with ghosts but with people. People stain rooms all the time.”
Megan Mullally
On an episode of Busy Tonight, Megan explained, “It wasn’t the same house, but it was on the same property where had once stood a house that O.J. Simpson had rented for Nicole Brown Simpson. We would have in that house, in one corner of the house, like maybe where the bedroom used to be in the old house, we would have all these sounds and weird things all the time. I would be like, ‘That’s Nicole, and she’s pissed because Nick doesn’t get it.'”
She added that after Nick watched The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story, the noises stopped, “She just needed Nick to understand what happened.”
Helena Bonham Carter
Helena explained that she wanted the princess’s blessing before portraying her in the series. According to Helena, Princess Margaret said, “‘You’re better than the other actress’…that they were thinking of. They will not admit who it was. It was me and somebody else. That made me think maybe she is here because that is a classic Margaret thing to say. She was really good at complimenting you and putting you down at the same time.”
The ghost added, “‘Get the smoking right. I smoked in a very particular way…the cigarette holder was as much a weapon for expression as it was for smoking.'”
Kate Hudson and Goldie Hawn
They both see dead people. Kate explained, “It is not really seeing, it is feeling a spirit. A fifth energy. I believe in energy. I believe our brains can manifest into visual things.” She also added a helpful tip for anyone who does see a spirit: “When you see something, you are supposed to tell the energy what year it is and that they don’t belong there.”
Jessica Alba
“I had no idea what it was. I felt this pressure, and I couldn’t get up, I couldn’t scream, I couldn’t talk, I couldn’t do anything.” She explained, “Something definitely took the covers off me, and I definitely couldn’t get off the bed, and then, once I did, I screamed, ran to my parents’ room, and I don’t think I spent many nights in that house ever again. … There was definitely something in my parents’ old house — I don’t know what it was. I can’t really explain it. But they got it blessed, and they burned sage and stuff since then.”
Cher
During a Reddit AMA, Cher was asked if she was afraid of ghosts. She responded, “I love ghosts. I actually think that Sonny makes a light go on. I have a beautiful chandelier that he makes the light go on when it is impossible; there is no power on. I love ghosts. I prefer ghosts to some people.”
Laura Linney
She told James Corden, “I was not a believer. I had been told about the ghosts at the Belasco Theater. There was a mysterious death of a chorus girl [at the theater]. Legend is that final dress rehearsals, that’s when the ghosts come out. I had forgotten this, and I was doing a play with Jane Alexander, and I turned to Jane Alexander, and I looked up to the upper balcony — there are two balconies there — and the upper balcony you can only get in from the outside, and those doors were locked, and I looked up, and there was a woman standing in the front row looking over with a blue dress and blonde hair. I just thought, ‘Well, hello!’ I looked back at Jane, and I looked back up, and she was gone.”
She added that the house manager confirmed her suspicions. “I went to the house manager, and I said, ‘Joe, I think I saw a ghost.’ And he went, ‘Male or female?’ I said, ‘Female.’ And he went, ‘Blue dress, blonde hair?'”
Dale Earnhardt Jr
On an episode of his podcast The Dale Jr. Download, he shared, “When I wrecked the Corvette in 2004 in Sonoma, and it caught fire, somebody pulled me out of that car. And I thought that it was a corner worker because I felt somebody put their hands under my armpits and pull me out of the car. I didn’t get out. I don’t have any memory of myself climbing out of the car.”
He continued, “And I remember sort of moving, like, in motion, like going to lean forward and try to climb out of the car, and then, something grabbed me under the armpits, pulled me up over the door bars, and then let go of me. And I fell to the ground, and there’s pictures of me laying on the ground next to the car. I know that when I got to the hospital, I was like, ‘Who pulled me out of the car? I gotta say thanks to this person,’ because it was a hand! It was physical hands grabbing me! I felt it. And there was nobody there.”
Emma Stone
In 2014 on Late Night with David Letterman, Emma explained the her family has a long history with quarters. “My grandfather leaves quarters. It’s him. It’s absolutely him.” And although she never got the chance to meet him, she said, “It’s not a logical thing, it’s magical.”
Ariana Grande
In 2013, she told Complex, “I’ve had a ghost/demon experience. We were in Kansas City a few weeks ago and went to this haunted castle and were so excited. The next night, we wanted to go to Stull Cemetery, which is known as one of the seven gates to hell on Earth. … I felt this sick, overwhelming feeling of negativity over the whole car, and we smelled sulfur, which is the sign of a demon, and there was a fly in the car randomly, which is another sign of a demon.”
She continued, “I was like, ‘This is scary, let’s leave.’ I rolled down the window before we left and said, ‘We apologize. We didn’t mean to disrupt your peace.’ Then, I took a picture, and there are three super distinct faces in the picture — they’re faces of textbook demons.”
Lucy Hale
Back in 2010, she told Hollywood TeenZine, “Doors close, not slam, but they close. And I have a motion sensor that lights up in my apartment, and I swear it lights up sometimes when there’s nothing under it. And my dog barks a lot. I don’t feel threatened, that threatened, but it definitely freaks me out.”
Selena Gomez
In 2015, she told Jimmy Fallon, “I believe in ghosts, so I have a ghost app. … I believe that spirits can tap into technology. Why not, right? … Look, I was in a venue, and [the ghost] actually said people in my life by name.”
Miley Cirus
“It was seriously so terrifying. … I was having really crazy dreams and really scary things, and one night my little sister — it sounds crazy to tell you — but she was standing in the shower, and all of a sudden, I hear her scream. I run in there, and the water had somehow flipped to hot, but it was still. … It wasn’t like the water had just changed, the knob had turned, but she hadn’t turned it, and it was burning her. She was really red,” she told Elle UK.
“Before I felt this, I thought I had seen a little boy sitting on the sink watching me take a shower, so I felt really freaked out,” she added before saying that she ended up leaving the apartment and staying somewhere else.
