Actress Taissa Farmiga‘s status as a modern day scream queen is only going to be strengthened here in the tail end of 2018, with leading roles in both The Nun and “American Horror Story: Apocalypse” ensuring she has a huge year in the horror world. In “Apocalypse,” as we recently learned, Farmiga will be bringing back both Violet Harmon and Zoe Benson.

Zoe Benson was of course the character Farmiga played in “American Horror Story: Coven,“ and she reminisces this week that she had actually had her own real-life supernatural experience while filming “Coven” back in 2013. Speaking with our own Meagan Navarro for a full interview coming later this week, Farmiga relayed one of the scariest nights of her life.

“Okay, so we’re filming in New Orleans, which has such … there’s so much voodoo and spirits and soul down there,” Farmiga began. “I’m living in this old warehouse that’s been turned into loft apartments. And I’m filming this scene, episode two. We have to put Evan’s character back together, Frankenstein. So I didn’t think anything of it. We have to chant in Latin again. And Emma Roberts turns to me in the hair and makeup trailer and she’s like, ‘So are you … are you scared? Like of something … do you think that we’re going to like draw something out?’ I was like, ‘What do you mean? No, like I know my lines, I’m good.’ She’s like, ‘No, no, no. We’re chanting Latin.’ So she’s the one who opened me up to it. I blame her.”

Farmiga continued…

“Anyway, so we get home. We finish shooting, I get home, it’s a little after two, and also, to point out, Vera, my sister, just recently told me she was doing research for The Conjuring. She told me that witching hours are around 3am. So I was excited to go to bed before that. So I’m passing out, I’m lying in bed, I go to sleep. I’m passing out, it’s like when you lay in bed and you can’t fall asleep. So, I’m like, just so close to being in dream land 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 like right … I like to have the sheet folded over. Someone’s grabbing right there, right there and starts pulling.

Oh man, you guys. 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. But, I don’t know. I let it go, I guess. I mean, I just sleep in the … I mean the next night I slept downstairs.”

Look for Meagan’s full interview with Taissa Farmiga later this week.
