Actresses Who Believe in Ghosts

The boundary between the real world and the paranormal has long been a subject of fascination within the entertainment industry. Many prominent actresses have gone on the record to detail personal experiences that have solidified their belief in ghosts and spirits. From encounters on film sets to unexplained phenomena in their own homes, these women have shared stories that challenge conventional reality. The following actresses have publicly confirmed their belief in the existence of the supernatural based on their lived experiences.

Courteney Cox

The actress famously known for her role in ‘Friends’ has shared accounts of a haunting in her former Laurel Canyon home. She stated during an interview on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ that the previous owner, Carole King, informed her the house was haunted by an old woman. Cox eventually sold the property after a delivery person claimed to see a spirit standing behind her. These experiences led the actress to acknowledge the presence of supernatural forces in her daily life.

Octavia Spencer

The Oscar-winning star of ‘The Help’ has spoken openly about a “ghostly roommate” who resides in her house. She described the entity as a protective spirit that she believes was an old movie star. Spencer told Ellen DeGeneres that the ghost is generally friendly but can be temperamental with guests she does not like. She maintains a peaceful coexistence with the spirit and considers it a permanent fixture of her home.

Halle Berry

While filming the biopic ‘Introducing Dorothy Dandridge’, the actress reported experiencing a series of paranormal events. She claimed that a vintage dress belonging to Dandridge, which was kept in her trailer, began to move on its own. Berry also described hearing strange noises and feeling a heavy presence while wearing the late star’s belongings. These occurrences convinced her that the spirit of Dorothy Dandridge was watching over the production.

Kate Hudson

The ‘Almost Famous’ actress has frequently discussed her ability to perceive spirits, a trait she claims to share with her mother, Goldie Hawn. She describes the experience as seeing a “fifth energy” rather than a traditional physical apparition. Hudson believes that the brain can be tuned into a frequency that allows one to see those who have passed away. She has detailed specific sightings of a “ghostly woman with no face” that she encountered in an old house.

Emma Stone

The ‘La La Land’ star believes that her late grandfather communicates with her by leaving quarters around her home. Stone has stated in interviews that she never met her grandfather in life, yet she is certain these occurrences are his way of making contact. She describes the phenomenon as a long-standing family tradition of sightings and signs. These small tokens have reinforced her belief that family members remain present even after death.

Alyson Hannigan

The actress known for ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ and ‘How I Met Your Mother’ claims to live with a friendly ghost in her home. She has described the entity as a man in a suit who has been seen by several people in her household. Hannigan noted that the spirit is non-threatening and often follows her from room to room. She even gave the spirit a nickname and considers him an unobtrusive part of the family.

Lily Collins

While preparing for her role in ‘Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile’, the actress felt she was being visited by the victims of Ted Bundy. She reported waking up every night at 3:05 a.m. and seeing flashes of images that she believed were messages from the afterlife. Collins felt that the spirits were attempting to communicate their approval of her performance in the film. This experience deeply impacted her perspective on the connection between the living and the dead.

Salma Hayek

The actress and producer confirmed that her London home was inhabited by multiple spirits that frightened her daughter and staff. She hired a paranormal investigator to cleanse the property after reports of pianos playing by themselves and lights flickering. Hayek stated on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ that the medium identified twenty different spirits within the residence. While the medium successfully removed most of them, one spirit reportedly refused to leave and still resides there.

Mindy Kaling

The creator and star of ‘The Mindy Project’ has detailed a specific encounter with a ghost in her former residence. She described waking up to see a woman sitting on the edge of her bed, only for the figure to disappear moments later. Kaling has remained firm about the reality of this sighting and has discussed it in several media appearances. The experience has made her a firm believer in the existence of apparitions.

Keira Knightley

The ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ actress experienced a supernatural encounter in a hotel room in Los Angeles. She described seeing a man sitting on a chair in her room who vanished immediately after she spoke to him. Knightley was so startled by the event that she left the room and refused to return. This specific incident is the primary reason she cites for her belief in the paranormal.
