I had driven to set and was parking my car at the bottom of the slope on which our house and another bigger house, which had also been empty for a long time, sat. I was still in the car when I caught sight of it in one of the windows of the bigger house. I thought I was mistaken so I looked three times. A white figure with long hair. It was just standing there with its hair floating.
I still had to get to our house for filming, so I grabbed my bag and ran up the slope. I was shaking.
Later, I was doing a scene on the second floor. The camera monitor was downstairs, it wasn’t recording. But the casting person said he saw some sort of white figure floating behind me, through the monitor. I was like, “Hmm, a white figure? That sounds familiar!”
I had so many more days left in the shoot, so I didn’t dare to ask anyone or tell anyone on set about it. Because of the character’s energy and emotional scenes, I went home feeling very heavy all the time. I didn’t know if it was my character’s emotions or something else. One day, I went home and I don’t know why, I just burst into tears and couldn’t stop crying for an hour, to the point where my parents had to come down to comfort me.
My dad contacted his friend who is a “master”. He gave me a candle and amulet. I had to burn it and pour water on me and all that kind of stuff. After that, I felt okay. It’s hard to explain. Up until now, I’m still thinking, ‘Was I too tired?’ I still think it might have been psychological, but, I know what I felt. The master said that that place is famously haunted. He brings his disciples there to cleanse and meditate.
Also, on our last day of filming in the house, while Charlie and Darren were downstairs setting up for a scene in which they had to go up the stairs, a whole window panel fell out onto the stairs. There was no wind, nothing, but the whole thing fell. Can you imagine, if they were walking up the stairs? They could have gotten hurt. I don’t know if it was anything supernatural, but it was a bit strange. We were all shocked.
