Kristen Stewart Says She Once Saw a Ghost: ‘When I Opened My Eyes, It Was a Lady in Colonial Garb’ (Exclusive)

Kristen Stewart is getting into the Halloween spirit — literally.

PEOPLE got an exclusive peek into the conversation between the actress and her Living for the dead co-creator CJ Romero from an upcoming episode of Exactly Right’s Witty! By Roz Hernandez podcast, in which she describes how she once saw an inexplicable apparition.

Stewart, 33, explained that she was filming a “ghost movie” (probably from 2007) in Regina, Canada. Heralds) when she was about 15 years old and staying in a “very old” hotel with her mother when a paranormal incident occurred.

It started when she saw an overturned water bottle, which she attributed to a cat named Max who was with her at the time – but she soon realized the animal couldn’t have been the culprit, as he was sleeping at her feet.

“And then all of a sudden it felt like my legs were kind of pushed down. Because they were up — like my knees were up,” Stewart recalled.

The actress insisted that she was “not really asleep” during the encounter, which “was another thing that people tried to debunk [her] na”, because those closest to her did not believe her.

“They were like, ‘Maybe you were dreaming.’ I was like dude, I didn’t even lie down completely,” she continued. “Then I straightened up suddenly.”

“It made me open my eyes, and when I opened my eyes, it was a lady in colonial clothes,” Stewart said, joking that the ghost was similar to a scene in bridesmaids with a vision of a colonial woman on the wing of an airplane.

“There was a lady in antique clothes, with darker features and curls in her hair, and she kind of loomed over my bed, up to the top of the drapery,” she added. “I couldn’t make a sound for a very long time.”

“You couldn’t fucking convince me I didn’t see a ghost,” Stewart said.

She also remembered the lights flickering in her house and Romero going out at the same time she and Romero were there once, not long after the tragic death of their friend Ryan.

“I told this story about [Ryan] because we just lost him, and then CJ comes back after driving his friend to the gate,” she recalled. “He was walking down the stairs and suddenly stopped and kind of – I mean, not to understand the deep and delicate scenario and Let it be funny, but suddenly he seemed so genuinely possessed, and I thought maybe he was having a weird episode.”

But as Stewart called out Romero’s name to try to snap him out of it, “He just didn’t hear a word I said and he turned toward this wall and it was like he walked into it,” she said.

“And then he stopped and said, ‘Hey, whoa,’ and then he immediately started crying uncontrollably,” the actress added.

Stewart is the executive producer and narrator of Hulu’s new documentaries Living for the deadwhich features five queer ghost hunters as they investigate famous haunted locations across the United States.

“It’s so cool and it’s coming to life that me and my best friend CJ Romero had this funny idea and now it’s a show,” she said in a statement last month. “It started as a bit of a hypothetical silly dream, and now I’m so proud to have led something that’s as moving and meaningful as the really old gay time.”

The team — including Hernandez plus Alex Le Mayo, Juja Bae, Ken Boggle and Logan Taylor — “makes me laugh and cry and they’ve had the guts and the heart to take us to places I wouldn’t have gone on my own,” Stewart added.

“And this is a super cool first trip for the company I started with my partners Dylan Meyer and Maggie McLean,” she said.

All episodes Living for the dead now streaming on Hulu, while Stewart and Romero are full Witty! By Roz Hernandez the podcast episode is out on October 30th.
