Kristen Stewart is currently promoting Living for the Dead, a docuseries she produced where “five queer ghost hunters crisscross the country, helping the living by healing the dead.” The show is already streaming on Hulu, and I kind of wonder if it’s a tricky situation for Kristen to actually do promotion for the show? Well, it’s just a podcast interview, I guess. She appeared on Ghosted! By Roz Hernandez and she ended up talking about some of her experiences with ghosts:

Stewart, 33, explained that she was in Regina, Canada, filming a “movie about ghosts” (likely 2007’s The Messengers) when she was around 15 years old, and was staying in a “very old” hotel with her mother when the paranormal incident occurred. It began when she saw a water bottle that had been knocked over, which she attributed to a cat named Max that was with her at the time — but she soon realized the animal couldn’t have been the culprit, as he’d been sleeping at her feet.

“And then all of a sudden I felt like my legs had been kind of pushed down. ‘Cause they were up — like, my knees were up,” Stewart recalled. The actress insisted that she “was genuinely not sleeping” during the encounter, which “was another thing that people tried to debunk [her] on,” as her loved ones didn’t believe her.

“They were like, ‘Maybe you were dreaming.’ I was like dude, I wasn’t even laying fully down,” she continued. “Then all of a sudden, I was straightened out.”

“So it made me open my eyes, and when I opened my eyes, it was a lady in colonial garb,” Stewart said, joking that the ghost was akin to the scene in Bridesmaids with the vision of the colonial woman on the wing of the airplane. “There was a lady in old-school clothes, with darkened features and rollers in here hair, and sort of looming over my bed, as high as the top of the drapery,” she added. “I couldn’t make a sound for a very long time. You could not f—ing convince me that I did not see a ghost,” Stewart said.

She also recalled the lights flickering in her home and CJ Romero blacking out at the same time when she and Romero were there once, not long after the tragic death of their friend Ryan.

“I was telling this story of [Ryan] because we had just lost him, and then CJ comes back from driving his friend to the gate,” she remembered. “He’s walking down the stairs and suddenly just stops and kind of — I mean, not to take a profound and delicate scenario and make it funny, but he looked all of a sudden so truly possessed, and I did think maybe he was having a weird episode.” But as Stewart called Romero’s name to try and snap him out of it, “He just didn’t hear a word I said and turned toward this wall and just sort of walked like into it. And then stopped and was like, ‘Hey, whoa,’ and then starts immediately uncontrollably crying.”

I spook myself all the time, especially at night, but I’ve never had an encounter where I actually saw a ghost hovering over me or touching me. Mostly, my spooky experiences are just vibes, weird lights and sounds. Like, a ghost forced Kristen into a prone position. How did she not have a heart attack??

PS… Did you guys ever watch Personal Shopper with K-Stew? That movie genuinely freaked me out – it was so g–damn quiet until it wasn’t, and it was one of the freakiest “undercover ghost stories” I’ve ever seen.
