Strange Encounters in New Orleans and Charlotte

Lawrence described supernatural experiences during the filming of her 2022 movie Causeway in New Orleans as "really bad." She moved three times while shooting in the city and eventually stayed at a hotel.

The Hotel Incident

One day while in bed, Lawrence heard a housekeeper enter her room. The housekeeper apologized for waking her and left. Later, Lawrence realized her door had been deadbolted, making it impossible for anyone to enter the room.

"I don't know, I just come from a world where we believe women," Lawrence said regarding the eerie incident.

She admitted to Rogers that she might have been partly asleep at the time.

Other Unexplained Activity on Set

Lawrence also recounted another experience while staying at a local house during the shoot. While watching TV alone, the kitchen doors repeatedly slammed open and shut without explanation.
