The Pitt star Katherine LaNasa said her ex-husband Dennis Hopper's ghost used to haunt her several times.
The actress talked about her ex-husband's death and the aftermath that led her to feel scared in an interview with W Magazine.
She believed he came to her because she "was the last wife that he'd been with that he wasn't currently divorcing, so I think that level of intimacy when you're dying is maybe only something you can do with a partner?"
