Princess Diana felt "so alive" to Kristen Stewart while she was playing her in a new movie, the actress says — and she even got some "spooky, spiritual feelings" during its production.

Stewart spoke with the Los Angeles Times about her performance as Princess Diana in the film Spencer, which has already earned her significant Oscar buzz. Directed by Pablo Larraín, the movie follows Diana as she decides to end her marriage to Prince Charles. In reference to a scene in the film where Diana communes with Anne Boleyn's ghost, Stewart was asked in the interview if she's had any paranormal encounters herself.
