Taissa Farmiga has recalled a creepy supernatural experience that occurred one night when she was working on American Horror Story.
The FX anthology series American Horror Story isn’t the only horror property that Taissa Farmiga is involved with, as the actress is also set to star in the upcoming film The Nun. But it was while filming AHS that the actress experienced what seemed like a scary supernatural event.
Speaking to Bloody Disgusting, Farmiga recalled: “Okay, so we’re filming in New Orleans, which has such … there’s so much voodoo and spirits and soul down there. We finish shooting, I get home, it’s a little after two, and also, to point out, Vera, my sister, [had] just recently told me she was doing research for The Conjuring. She told me that witching hours are around 3 am. So I was excited to go to bed before [remembering] that.”
“I’m like, just so close to being in dreamland and all of a sudden, I’m wide awake. My eyes aren’t open, but I feel wide awake and I hear some walking. You know, on the wood floors, you hear it creak. I’m like, ‘Okay, that’s bullshit.’ I’m sleeping on the left side of the bed. All of a sudden, I feel someone grab the covers … I like to have the sheet folded over. Someone’s grabbing right there, right there and starts pulling.”
“I jump up. I freak out, turn the light on. There’s nothing there, I don’t see anything. But I can’t sleep. I can’t sleep for the rest of the night. I mean, it was dark, so it was based on feeling it, like out of the lights around, so I can’t see it though. But, like look, you pull it, you can feel if someone’s pulling the covers down. And that was the only time I ever experienced anything.”
While this could, of course, be explained away as a dream or due to the fact that the actress is ensconced in creepy material while filming on AHS, anyone who has experienced something like this will know how frightening and real it can feel.
Taissa Farmiga can next be seen in The Nun when it releases on September 7th and is also returning to American Horror Story for its new season Apocalypse which gets underway on September 12th.
