Jennifer Lawrence Shares Ghostly Encounters While Filming in New Orleans

Jennifer Lawrence, an Academy Award-winning actress known for her performances in "The Hunger Games" and "Silver Linings Playbook," spoke about her eerie experiences with ghosts during the filming of her 2022 movie "Causeway" in New Orleans.

During an appearance on the "Las Culturistas" podcast with Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, Lawrence discussed supernatural moments she encountered both in New Orleans and in Charlotte, North Carolina. She described them as "really bad" hauntings that left a lasting impression.

A Haunted Stay in New Orleans

While shooting "Causeway," Lawrence said she had to move accommodations three times before settling in a hotel. One morning, she recounted being half-awake in bed when she heard someone enter her room.

"I heard a housekeeper come in and apologize for waking me. But later, I realized my door was deadbolted. No one could have opened it."

She told the hosts that she might have been drifting in and out of sleep but added:

"I don't know, I just come from a world where we believe women."

Other Unexplained Events

Her mysterious experiences didn’t end there. While staying at a house during the same shoot, Lawrence said she once sat alone watching TV when suddenly the kitchen doors began to slam open and shut repeatedly without explanation.

Lawrence’s Reflection

Though she admitted the incidents might have logical explanations, Lawrence said the moments felt unexplainable and deeply unsettling, adding to the mystique of her time filming in the Crescent City.
