Katherine LaNasa and Dennis Hopper‘s bond endured even after his death.
The actress, known for her role in The Pitt, recently shared that she was visited by the ghost of her late husband, who passed away in 2010. They were married from 1989 to 1992.
In a recent interview with W Magazine, published on June 16th, actress Francia LaNasa revealed she believes in ghosts. She specifically shared that the spirit of actor Dennis Hopper haunted her for a considerable period.
She explained that, despite their long divorce, she was the last wife he hadn’t been in the process of divorcing. She suggested this unique level of closeness might be something only possible with a former spouse, especially when someone is dying.
Dennis Hopper’s visits were initially disturbing. He was going through a divorce from his fifth wife, Victoria Duffy, when he died at the age of 74.
“He came one time where he was at the Academy Awards,” the 59-year-old recalled. “He was in a wheelchair and he fell down and it was super upsetting.”
However, their communications changed after one pivotal encounter from beyond.
I remember a time when he’d show up at my place, really worked up, and I had to ask him to leave me alone, which he eventually did. But honestly, it left me feeling incredibly uneasy. It was so strange, and the weirdness really stuck with me. Then, the very day I finally told someone how disturbed I was by it, I took a different route home and stumbled upon a gallery. And get this—the gallery was full of his photographs! And right in the back, there was a picture of him, wearing a fedora and winking at the camera. It was just…too much.
Afterward, LaNasa, who went on to marry both French Stewart and Grant Show (in 2012), felt Hopper was distancing himself from her, appearing to her only once more in a dream.
She remembered speaking with him in a Greek cafeteria where he assured her he felt fine and wasn’t suffering. That was the last time she ever heard from him.
Although LaNasa doesn’t usually talk about her relationship with Hopper, she has mentioned how being with him and his medical team before he passed away helped shape her portrayal of charge nurse Dana Evans on The Pitt.
As a lifestyle expert, I’ve learned a lot from life’s difficult moments. Years ago, when my ex-husband—my son’s father—was nearing the end of his life, I spent months with the hospice nurses caring for him. They taught me invaluable lessons about being present with compassion, but also maintaining a healthy emotional distance. It was that combination of steadiness and heartfelt care that I really tried to instill in my daughter, Dana, as she grew up.
LaNasa isn’t alone in sharing experiences with the supernatural. Here are more chilling ghost stories from celebrities.
The one where Courteney Cox shares a ghost story.
The Friends actress shared with Howard Stern that a delivery person rang her bell and let her know someone unexpected had arrived.
Let me tell you, I’ve had some genuinely spooky experiences! Once, when answering the door for a delivery, the guy literally said, ‘Do you know this house is haunted?’ He pointed out someone standing right behind me – definitely not my favorite moment! But that wasn’t even the only time. I was in London once, completely jet-lagged but unable to sleep. I closed my eyes hoping to drift off, and suddenly I started seeing these incredibly vivid, scary faces… old faces just appearing before me. It was so unsettling, I kept thinking I saw family members like my mom, dad, or Auntie Em! Then, things got even weirder – lights flickered, a plant moved on its own. Naturally, I woke up my boyfriend Johnny McDaid and told him I was seeing spirits! He said he felt waves around himself, but insisted I was just asleep. We had this whole back-and-forth where he was convinced there were no ghosts, and I was absolutely certain of what I was experiencing. Eventually, I just firmly asked whatever was happening to leave me alone so I could get some rest. And you know what? It worked! I didn’t see or feel anything after that. Sometimes a polite request is all it takes, even with spirits!
The Kardashians star wasn’t interested in keeping up with this eerie experience.
Khloe Kardashian shared that she and her daughter, True Thompson, were bothered by what she thinks was the ghost of a young girl when they lived in a rented house.
Khloe described a frightening experience on her podcast, Khloe in Wonder Land, recalling someone touching her hair. She said, ‘She rubbed my hair—she did,’ and added that she hasn’t been able to sleep in the dark since.
I was asleep in our rental house in The Oaks. There was a hallway connecting True’s room to mine, and she was still sleeping in her crib – she never climbed out. I heard someone walking down the hall and called out, ‘True?’ When I checked the baby monitor, she hadn’t woken up, which seemed strange. So, I just went back to sleep; it was the middle of the night, and I closed my eyes.
Khloe said she could feel a small hand on her face whiel she was in her bed.
She recalled shutting her eyes and desperately hoping nothing was present. When she looked again, the space was empty, which frightened her greatly.
Demi Lovato believes her childhood home in Texas is haunted. She remembers a time when, as a little girl, her mother caught her talking to someone. Demi told her mother she was speaking with a girl named Emily in a picture frame. Her younger sister later had a similar experience, claiming to talk to a girl living in the closet.
Demi also recalls predicting strange occurrences to her friends. She’d tell them something would happen, and they’d be skeptical at first, but then odd things would occur. One time, a friend texted that he thought the house was haunted, and the word “definitely” repeatedly appeared as a reply, even though he only sent it once.
Demi shared another story about a balloon floating down the stairs and turning a corner, something she found particularly unsettling. She recounted these experiences to Ellen DeGeneres, convinced her childhood home is genuinely haunted.
Joey King experienced something spooky while filming The Conjuring – and it wasn’t just from the movie! While playing a role in the film as a child, she began to mysteriously develop bruises all over her body. The makeup artists initially thought she was playfully taking their fake bruise makeup for herself.
However, King insisted the bruises were real, appearing on her stomach and chest seemingly out of nowhere. A visit to the doctor revealed she had developed a rare blood-thinning condition called ITP, causing a sudden drop in her red platelet count. This was an isolated incident; she’d never experienced any blood problems before or since, nor does anyone else in her family have the condition.
Because of this, King needed to go to the hospital twice daily during filming. Strangely, once she returned home each day, her platelet levels would return to normal, and the disorder has never reappeared.
Ariana Grande shared a chilling story about a paranormal experience she had in Kansas City back in 2013. She told Complex magazine that after spending a night in a reportedly haunted castle, she and her friends decided to visit Stull Cemetery, which is rumored to be one of the entrances to hell.
During the drive, Grande felt a strong, negative energy in the car, and they smelled sulfur – a supposed sign of demonic presence. A fly also appeared inside the car, another ominous sign. Feeling frightened, she asked to be taken back, apologizing to whatever was there and asking for peace. When she later looked at a photo taken during the trip, she claimed to see three clear, demonic faces.
Interestingly, she couldn’t even send the photo to her manager – the file size was exactly 666 megabytes.
Grande also recounted another scary incident where she saw a large black cloud next to her bed. She was terrified and called for help, but instead of confronting it, she decided to ignore it, believing it thrived on fear. She watched the cloud move to the foot of her bed, then fell asleep on the phone, and it was gone when she woke up.
Octavia Spencer says she’s perfectly okay with sharing her home with a ghost. She explained on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that the house previously belonged to a Western film actor she admired, and she believes his spirit now protects her. She says unwanted guests feel uncomfortable and leave, while those who are welcome feel at home.
While she loves her ghostly companion, Octavia admits it can be a little mischievous when she’s away for a while, sometimes closing doors or turning off lights. However, she’s firm about keeping it a solo spirit. She doesn’t want any other ghosts visiting – her ghost is allowed to playfully bother her, but that’s it. They’ve established boundaries!
Jennifer Aniston experienced some spooky things in a former Los Angeles home, though she didn’t consider the apparent ghost a friend. She told James Corden on The Late Late Show that appliances like the dishwasher and coffee maker would turn on by themselves, and the stereo would blast at full volume – it was truly frightening!
Eventually, someone recommended a specialist to remove any lingering spirits from the house. During the process, frankincense in a dish cracked as the specialist began her work, and a heavy ashtray from 1975 also shattered. The specialist even asked Jennifer to leave so she could communicate with the spirit.
The message? According to the spirit, it disliked Jennifer’s roommate. While she felt bad, Jennifer never told her roommate about it, admitting it would have been awful to say someone wasn’t liked by a ghost! She ultimately moved out.
Miley Cyrus has a spooky story about a ghost she believes haunted her homes. She received Elvis memorabilia from a friend whose parent had passed away. After a fire destroyed the memorabilia in 2018, Miley says the friend’s mother began appearing in her L.A. home. She described smelling cigarette smoke – the friend’s mother had been a smoker – and her dogs acting strangely, especially in the guest room where a photo of the friend’s mother had been displayed. Miley even claimed to have seen the ghost sitting on the couch, seemingly teasing her dogs – something the friend’s mother would have done when she was alive. Miley believes the fire somehow ‘released’ the spirit and she eventually removed the photo.
Keanu Reeves has a spooky story to tell! The actor once shared a strange experience he had as a young child in New York City. When he was around 6 or 7 years old, he saw what looked like a jacket floating through a doorway – but there was no body or head attached! He recounted the story on Jimmy Kimmel Live, saying it just seemed interesting to him at the time. However, his nanny was terrified. Reeves remembers looking over to see her completely shocked, which made him realize the experience was actually real.
Vanessa Hudgens isn’t afraid of ghosts – she actually seems to welcome her ability to connect with the spiritual world. She explained on The Kelly Clarkson Show that she’s always been able to see and hear things others can’t. One memorable experience happened when she was eight years old with a toy duck that followed her as she walked. For a long time, she tried to ignore these experiences because they were frightening, but she’s now decided to embrace her gift. She recently conducted her first official paranormal investigation, complete with all the necessary equipment, and is eager to explore this ability further.
Actor Hugh Grant shared a spooky story about his son from around 2016. He noticed his young boy would often stare at a corner in his room, and other people – family members and nannies – began to see someone there as well. Concerned, and despite being skeptical, Grant decided to call a ghost hunter.
The ghost hunter visited their home with some dowsing rods which apparently went crazy in the boy’s room. She claimed the energy was very strong and even felt sick. After burning sage, playing an instrument, and singing, she declared the spirits were gone. However, Grant’s son told him the next morning that he still saw a little boy at his window! This led Grant to believe their house was truly haunted and they needed to move.
Actor Brian Cox had a chilling experience years ago in Edinburgh that he recently shared on The Jonathan Ross Show. He was trying to fall asleep when he heard and felt his chair begin to rock violently. It didn’t just rock – it slid across the room towards his bed, frightening him so much he hid under the covers, thinking something terrible was happening.
Cox eventually managed to get some sleep, but woke up to an even stranger sight: the chair was still there, and the floor around it was covered in deep scratch marks.
