Vanessa Hudgens Says She Can Talk to Ghosts: ‘I See Things and Hear Things’

Vanessa Hudgens can apparently see dead people.

During a recent appearance on the Kelly Clarkson Show, the actress opened up about her sixth sense, revealing that she’s had “a lot” of experiences with ghosts and spirits throughout her life.

“I remember getting ready for school when I was 8 years old, and there was, like — you know those ducks that, like, is like the duck thing that you pull? It’s a toy?” she said. “There was one of those on the dining room table and I started walking and it just started going alongside me.”

She continued, “I kind of shut it down for a while because it’s scary. The unknown is scary. But recently I was like, ‘No, this is a gift and something that I have the ability to do, so I’m going to lean into it.’”

Hudgens went on to talk about her “spirit box,” a tool that she said helps her “scans radio frequencies really quickly.” There is “something about the electricity that it creates allows spirits to speak through it,” she explained.

It isn’t the first time Hudgens has spoke about her experiences with the paranormal. 

Back in 2011, while filming her movie Journey 2: The Mysterious Island in North Carolina, the actress told People that she was visited by an unearthly presence. 

“North Wilmington is one of the oldest, most haunted places in North America,” she said, explaining that she heard footsteps while staying at an old house on location.

“I was chasing around my ghost for like 10 minutes solid, and then it got way too freaky, and I just left,” Hudgens added. “I feel like she might have lost a husband at war and she’s waiting for her man to come back to her. It was definitely a female spirit. I could tell.”
