18 Celebs Who Publicly Said They’ve Had A Supernatural Encounter
Does the supernatural exist? Are there ghosts wandering the earth?
Well, no one knows for sure, but many people believe in them. On the other hand - people who don't believe in the supernatural are very rigid in their views.
They refuse to accept any idea of their existence. There is no in-between. For most of us, living or staying in a haunted house is far from ideal — and some of us don't believe such a thing exists at all.
However, a surprising amount of celebrities in Hollywood are completely open to the presence of the supernatural and are not hesitant to discuss it. Celebrities have been sharing their ghost experiences for years, and some have even made a TV show out of it (like Demi Lovato).
Vanessa Hudgens recently said that she believes she can speak with the spirit world — and that's only touching the surface of what celebrities have said about their encounters with the other side over the years. Whether you believe in the supernatural or not, hearing our favorite celebrities tell their ghost stories is entertaining.
They even believe they're interacting with other famous people in some circumstances (though they died long ago). Check out this list of celebrities who claim to have experienced a supernatural experience.

Vanessa Hudgens revealed she had "accepted the reality that I see things and hear things" during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show in April 2022, even confessing that she uses a spirit box to interact with the otherworldly.
"I kind of shut it down for a while because it's scary," she said. "The unknown is scary. But recently I was like, 'No, this is a gift and something that I have the ability to do, so I'm going to lean into it.'"

Lily Collins, who played Ted Bundy's ex-girlfriend in the film Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile, claimed she was visited by the ghosts of Ted's victims.
"I would go downstairs and have a cup of tea, trying to figure out why I had woken up again," she told The Guardian. "I started being woken up by flashes of images, like the aftermath of a struggle. I didn't feel scared — I felt supported. I felt like people were saying, 'We're here listening. We're here to support. Thank you for telling the story.'"

Octavia Spencer said that she feels her home is haunted by a fellow actor during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in December 2021.
"I grew up watching Westerns and I bought this house, and it was owned by a guy who did Westerns, so I must have been a fan of his," she said. "I think he is my protector. I love him because he kind of sorts out the bad people who shouldn't be there. He runs them out."

As Kristen Stewart told Vanity Fair in 2019, she believes in spirits and tries to interact with 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.' 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."

Keanu Reeves told Jimmy Kimmel in 2014 that he had encountered a ghost when he was a child.
"I was living in New Jersey when I saw and felt this ghost," he said. "I remember just staring at this suit, which had no body or legs in it as it came into the room before disappearing. It was a double-breasted suit in white, and I looked at my nanny, who was just as shocked as me. I just couldn't get back to sleep afterward, and I still see the figure in my dreams."

Helena Bonham Carter
Princess Margaret may not have been alive when Helena Bonham Carter portrayed her in The Crown, but the actress claims she was able to contact her through a psychic medium.
"She said, apparently, she was glad it was me. She said, 'You're better than the other actress' they were thinking of," she told The Guardian. "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."

Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga not only believes in ghosts, but she also believes they assist her in writing music, notably "Born This Way," which she credits to the late designer Alexander McQueen.
"I think he planned the whole thing," she told Harper's Bazaar UK. "Right after he died [in 2010], I wrote 'Born This Way.' I think he's up in heaven with fashion strings in his hands, marionetting away, planning this whole thing."
