13 Celebrity Ghost Stories to Spook you for Halloween

Megan Fox told MTV News in 2014, “I believe in everything,” and recalled an experience she had in her hotel in Mexico. “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,” she said. Then, “the doorbell rings, I open the door, it‘s room service with my food.” Her nanny heard it too, Fox explained, “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.”

Vanessa Hudgens told Kelly Clarkson in April of this year, “I’ve accepted the fact that I see things and I hear things.” “I remember getting ready for school when I was eight years old, and there was ... You know those ducks [toys] that you pull [the string]? There was one of those on the dining room table, and I started walking, and it just started going alongside me,” Hudgens said. The actress said she “kind of shut it down” for a while because of how scary it could be, until she realized it was a gift. “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,’’ she said. The High School Musical star even uses a “spirit box” to allow spirits to communicate with her, per People

While Kendall Jenner has never seen a ghost, she has experienced what she believes is paranormal. She told Vogue in 2018 that Kris Jenner’s home was seemingly haunted. “In the house, my mom lives in, Kylie and I would always hear footsteps on the roof while no one was home,” she said. Kylie Jenner’s room had some activity too, “Kylie’s shower used to turn on all the time, and we never knew why. So yeah, I’m convinced it was a ghost,” the model continued.

Miley Cyrus told Elle UK, the London flat she was staying in during her 2009 European tour was haunted. “It was seriously so terrifying. It used to be an old bakery and they turned it into an apartment building, and I was having really crazy dreams and really scary things.” Cyrus said. The singer explained that one night when her little sister Noah Cyrus was standing in the shower she heard her scream. “I run in there and the water had somehow flipped to hot,” she said. Nobody had turned it, and “it was burning her. She was really red.” Before that happened Miley said she thought she had seen a little boy sitting on the sink watching her take a shower. “So I felt really freaked out. I was sitting there the next night and maybe I’m crazy, but I could have sworn I could see this little boy sitting there on the sink, kicking his feet,” she explained. Cyrus said they started looking into it and found out about the people who lived in the bakery. “I guess the wife died or something, she had gotten sick. So it was just the son and the dad that lived there in the bakery, and then the dad died and the son took over the bakery, and I thought I was seeing the son.“

Jessica Alba believes her parent’s old house was haunted after a terrifying encounter in bed. “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 recalled, according to the Sydney Morning Herald, per PEOPLE. “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 parent’s room, and I don’t think I spent many nights in that house ever again,” she added. “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.”

Demi Lovato loves to go ghost hunting and saw her first ghost when she was only three years old. She told Buzzfeed in 2013 that her house in Texas was “ridiculously haunted” by a little girl named Emily. “I‘ve had a medium come over and ghost hunters, and they both told me the same name, Emily,” Lovato said. “There were so many times that I saw her when I was growing up. I saw her in my closet one time. When I was three years old, my mom caught me talking to something by myself. She asked, ’Who are you talking to?’ and I said, ‘My best friend Emily.’ She’s playful,” the artist continued. She claimed her uncle even had an IT-like experience, “There was another time when my uncle was in the living room watching TV, and a balloon came down the stairs and turned around on the banister.”

Keanu Reeves claims he saw a ghost when he was a child in New York City. “I‘m probably like six, seven years old, we’d come from Australia. Renata, [our] nanny, in the bedroom, my sister is asleep, she’s sitting over there, and 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 are no legs, it’s just there. And then it disappears,” he explained on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2014. “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.’”

Ariana Grande told Complex in 2013 that she visited Stull Cemetery in Kansas City, “which is known as one of the seven gates to hell on Earth. The Pope won’t fly over it.” “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 said. “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.” She even had a folder called ‘Demons’ that had pictures with all the screencaps in it, but she deleted it after “weird things” started happening. As for the “weird things,” Grande said one night after getting off the phone she heard this “really loud rumble” by her head. “When I opened my eyes it stopped immediately, but when I closed my eyes it started again with whispers. Every time I closed my eyes I started seeing these really disturbing images with, like, red shapes. Then I opened my eyes and got back on the phone and was like, ‘I’m really scared and I don’t want to go to bed tonight.” After moving to the other side of the bed she said there was a cloud of “massive black matter” right next to her. She fell asleep on the phone and she woke up it was gone.

According to Ana de Armas, she was haunted by Marilyn Monroe while filming Blonde. “I truly believe that she was very close to us. She was with us,” the actress said. “I think she was happy. She would also throw things off the wall sometimes and get mad if she didn’t like something.”

Just like Ana de Armas felt Marilyn Monroe while filming Blonde, Helena Bonham Carter felt Princess Margaret for season 3 of The Crown. Except she looked for help with a medium. “My main thing when you play someone who is real, you kind of want their blessing because you have a responsibility,” she said at the Cheltenham literature festival, according to The Guardian. She claimed the late royal told her she was ‘better than the other actress.’” “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 Harry Potter star explained.

Kristen Stewart said in 2019, she talks to ghosts, and sometimes, she needs to tell them to back off. “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 told Vanity Fair in 2019. “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.”

In sixth sense fashion, Kate Hudson revealed in 2014 while on Chatty Man that she and her mom Goldie Hawn are able to “see dead people.” She clarified it was more of a “feeling” but said, “I believe in energy. I believe our brains can manifest into visual things.” Hudson said she once saw a “ghost of a woman with no face,” per People.

Joy Behar claims to not only have had encounters with ghosts, but sexual ones. “I’ve had sex with a few ghosts and never got pregnant,” Behar quietly admitted during an October 2022 episode of The View after co-host Sara Haines asked if someone could become pregnant after getting intimate with a ghost. Whoopi Goldberg replied, “I’m just gonna let that ride. I don’t know how many of you just heard what Joy just said, but I’m going to let it ride,” per People.
