Netflix star Carla Gugino claims LA home was haunted as she details terrifying paranormal encounters

Carla Gugino's character in the new horror film Lockbox deals with a heavy amount of supernatural activity.

The actress can relate, as she faced some weird unexplained happenings inside an old house in that she used to spend a lot of time at with a boyfriend several years ago.

Speaking to People, Gugino, 54 - who - has come to believe the place was haunted by the ghost of the woman who used to live there.

'I don't believe in ghosts per se, but then the truth is if you asked me, do you think they existed? I would say absolutely,' she told the outlet.

'There are spirits that don't want to leave here where their body is. Their body's not here anymore, but they're like, "I don't really know where to go."'

In the supernatural thriller Lockbox, which hit theaters on Friday, Gugino plays a grieving woman named Ellen who moves to a small rural town to heal after her mother's death.

Ellen takes in her cousin, Winthrop (Lou Taylor Pucci), an Army veteran struggling with severe PTSD. Their lives soon become upended in a supernatural nightmare and Ellen must risk everything to save him from a demonic entity trying to hunt him down.

While Gugino's own experience with the supernatural wasn't nearly as devastating, it certainly has stuck with her.

'My boyfriend was living in a house with some roommates and we would literally be watching a movie downstairs - it was an old Spanish house in Los Angeles - and we would hear furniture moving upstairs,' she described.
