Hauntings in New Orleans and Charlotte

Lawrence described her encounters in New Orleans and Charlotte, North Carolina, as intense and unsettling. During the 2022 filming of Causeway in New Orleans, she moved between several locations before settling in a hotel.

One day, while in bed at the unnamed hotel, Lawrence heard a housekeeper enter her room. As she emerged from under the covers, the housekeeper apologized for waking her and quickly left. Lawrence later realized the door was deadbolted, making it impossible for anyone to enter.

"I don't know, I just come from a world where we believe women," Lawrence remarked when questioned about the experience possibly being a dream or sleepwalking.

Earlier during the shoot, at a local house, Lawrence was alone watching TV when the kitchen doors began slamming repeatedly on their own.
