Well, this is weird.


Ariana Grande, the 20-year-old your daughter/niece/teenybopper neighbor adores, graces the cover of Complex magazine's December 2013/January 2014 issue. And in the interview, she described an unusual encounter with the supernatural.


I've had a ghost/demon experience. We were in Kansas City a few weeks ago and went to this haunted castle and were so excited. The next night we wanted to go to Stull Cemetery, which is known as one of the seven gates to hell on Earth.

I felt this sick, overwhelming feeling of negativity over the whole car and we smelled sulfur, which is the sign of a demon, and there was a fly in the car randomly, which is another sign of a demon. I was like, “This is scary, let’s leave.” I rolled down the window before we left and said, “We apologize. We didn't mean to disrupt your peace.” Then I took a picture and there are three super distinct faces in the picture -- they’re faces of textbook demons.


I was going to sleep about two weeks ago. I had just gotten off the phone and as soon as I closed my eyes I heard this really loud rumble right by my head. When I opened my eyes it stopped immediately, but when I closed my eyes it started again with whispers. Every time I closed my eyes I started seeing these really disturbing images with, like, red shapes. Then I opened my eyes and got back on the phone and was like, “I’m really scared and I don't want to go to bed tonight.” And then I scooched over to the left side of my bed, because that’s where the best service is in my room, and there was this massive black matter.


It was like a cloud of something black right next to me. I started crying. I was on the phone like, “What do I do, what do I do?” and they said, “Tell it to eff off.” I thought, I'm not going to do that. It’s going to upset it, so I'm just going to chill and not feed into it because all it wants is fear. It feeds on fear. I watched it move to the front of my bed and then I fell asleep on the phone. I woke up and it was gone.



Perhaps even weirder, Grande is not the first pop star to open up about such experiences. Ke$ha, Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato have all confessed to encounters with the other realm. (Though their stories consist of ghosts and haunted houses, not so much malevolent demons.)
