Watch: Phaedra Parks Says She Saw 4 GHOSTS on Ultimate Girls TripTelling ghost stories is one thing. But starring in your own? That's another. Over the years, several celebrities have shared their supernatural experiences. Take Jessica Chastain, for instance, who described staying in a haunted house in London while filming the 2016 movie The Huntsman: Winter's War. "We were doing a lot of night scenes," the Oscar winner said on an episode of The Late Late Show that year. "And I came home at, like, 3:30 in the morning and I was tired. I had everything blacked out, the lights, and I had the one chandelier on a little bit. And as I started taking my clothes off to put my pajamas on, the lights started to dim. And I thought, 'OK, I might be having a stroke.'" However, Jessica quickly realized that wasn't the case. "Then every light in the room-even the bedside tables-slowly started to go on," she continued. "Swear to God!"photosGhost-Hunting Shows RankedThe Interstellar actress said she then heard a loud noise like she was on an "alien spaceship" and saw a white light before everything went "pitch black." "I said, 'I understand you are here, and I don't want to kick you out. I'm just very tired so please let me sleep,'" she added. "It never happened again."Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images, Kevin Kane/Getty Images for StingSting, meanwhile, has detailed his own eerie encounter-at his very own home. "I live in a 16th century manor house in England near Stonehenge," the Police frontman told James Corden on another episode of his late-night show in 2017. "And if you haven't got a ghost in a 16th century manor house, you need one." Well, it sounds like he has one. As Sting recalled, he was in bed with his wife Trudie Styler when they saw a figure. "I woke up," the rocker continued, "and in the corner of the room there was a woman standing with a baby."The mysterious being soon vanished, but it proved to be a pivotal moment for Sting. "And then she disappeared," he added. "I never believed in ghosts before that."

Gotham/GC ImagesCourteney CoxThe one where Courteney Cox shares a ghost story.
The Friends star told Howard Stern she had a delivery man ring her doorbell and inform her of an unexpected guest."I answered it, got my package and he said, 'Do you know this house is haunted?'" Courteney said on a 2022 episode of his SiriusXM show. "And I go, 'Really? Why?' He goes, 'Because there's someone standing behind you.' And I thought, 'Oh s--t.'"This wasn't her only spooky experience, however. Courteney also recalled a scare she had in London. "I'd just gotten there," the Scream alum added. "So yeah, I was a little jet-lagged but I wasn't sleeping. I was sitting there, I closed my eyes to try to sleep and all of a sudden I saw these really scary faces-like old faces. I was like, 'OK, stop, stop, you gotta stop.' And then all of a sudden I was like, 'Mom? Dad? Auntie Em?' I don't know. I just kept seeing all these weird things."After also seeing lights and a plant move, Courteney alerted her longtime love Johnny McDaid."I was like, 'Johnny! Wake up! I'm seeing spirits!'" the actress added. "And he had all these waves around him too. And he goes, 'Courteney, you're asleep.' I said, 'No, I just woke you up! How can I be asleep?' He's like, 'Well, I'm asleep. There are no ghosts.' I did see them for sure."Ultimately, Courteney warded them off with a request."I said, 'Thanks for visiting last night. That was fun. Do not come back tonight cause I have to sleep,'" she said. "And I didn't see them again."Rachpoot/Bauer-Griffin/Getty ImagesDemi LovatoDemi Lovato is confident her childhood home in Texas is haunted."When I was a little girl, my mom walked into the room and I was talking to something," the singer recalled on a 2013 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "And my mom was like, 'Who are you talking to?' I was like, 'It's the little girl in the picture frame. Her name is Emily.' And then my little sister ended up doing that when she was around the same age. But this time, she was like, 'It's the girl that lives in the closet.'"If that example didn't make you feel like you're having a heart attack, this one might. Demi remembered inviting friends over and telling them, "Watch, something will happen." And while pals would initially have their doubts, she said, odd things would then occur-like when her buddy texted someone saying "I think this place is haunted" and the word "definitely" was sent back multiple times."He's like, 'Why'd you send it so many times?'" the Grammy winner recounted. "He goes, 'I didn't send it that many times.'"Still not convinced? Demi has even more proof."My uncle actually was watching TV and all of a sudden this balloon floated down the stairs," she told Ellen DeGeneres. "What balloon floats down, by the way? And then it turns the corner."Marco
