While the juicy bits of how the haunting started or how it was disturbing theHouse of Gucciactress remained shrouded in mystery, it was clear that Gaga was utterly terrified. The ghost, apparently not a violent one, became a stalking presence as Gaga traveled across the world.
According to reports, Gaga, a spiritual person, sought help from a spirit medium and organized a séance in Belfast. The new Harley Quinn actress invited her friends to the séance, who despite their initial skepticism agreed to take part in this otherworldly ritual. One of the members of theAmerican Horror Storyactress’s crew shared withDaily Star:
“She is pretty terrified by this spirit, but more than anything he’s annoying her as he won’t leave her alone. He hasn’t been doing anything too violent or scary but she’s freaked out by his presence. She contacted a spirit medium and organized a séance so she could communicate with him and tell him to go away. She gathered all her friends over the weekend in Belfast and held a séance to communicate with Ryan and find out what he wants.”
