Jennifer Lawrence believes in ghosts.
The Academy Award-winning actress known for her roles in “The Hunger Games” series and “Silver Linings Playbook” recounted strange, supernatural encounters she had in New Orleans on the “Las Culturistas” podcast this week with hosts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers.
Describing hauntings she experienced in both New Orleans and Charlotte, North Carolina, as “really bad,” Lawrence recalled filming her 2022 movie “Causeway” in the Crescent City.
Lawrence said she moved three times while filming in New Orleans and eventually landed in a hotel.
Lawrence said she was in bed there one day— she didn’t identify the hotel —when she heard a housekeeper enter her room. As Lawrence got out from under the covers, the housekeeper apologized for waking her and left.
Lawrence told Yang and Rogers it wasn’t until she got out of bed later that she realized her door was deadbolted, making it impossible for anyone to enter.
Lawrence conceded to Rogers that she could have been in and out of sleep at the time.
“I don’t know, I just come from a world where we believe women,” Lawrence retorted.
The unexplained hotel encounter wasn’t the first time Lawrence said she felt the presence of a ghost in New Orleans.
While staying at one local house during the “Causeway” shoot, Lawrence told the hosts she was watching TV alone one day when the kitchen doors started repeatedly slamming open and shut. Another time she was washing her hair when a towel fell from the toilet and laid out perfectly on the floor.
Yang said he believes in ghosts while Rogers — who himself said he just went to New Orleans for a bachelor party — admitted he tries not to believe because he would be too scared, saying he would much rather deal with and intruder than a ghost.
“If it’s an intruder … if it needs to go down, guess what I, just came from New Orleans on a bachelor party and I learned how to lock and load,” Rogers said. “But a ghost, you can’t shoot it. It’s clear.”
Lawrence isn’t the only person to leave New Orleans thinking the Crescent City was haunted, and some will even say there’s a ghost for every French Quarter street and Garden District mansion.
