Who you gonna call? Vanessa Hudgens.
The “High School Musical” star claimed in a new interview that she has had “a lot” of run-ins with ghosts over the years.
“I’ve accepted the fact that I see things and I hear things,” she said on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” Tuesday.
“The unknown is scary. But I recently was like, ‘No, this is a gift and something that I have the ability to do, so I’m going to lean into it.'”
Hudgens, 33, also recounted one of her earliest paranormal experiences.
“I remember getting ready for school when I was 8 years old, and there was, like, you know those ducks that you pull [the string]? It’s a toy. There was one of those on the dining room table, and I started walking, and it just started going alongside me,” she shared.

The former Disney Channel star then revealed that she recently did her “first real paranormal investigation” and learned that her “favorite” piece of equipment is a “spirit box,” which analyzes “radio frequencies really quickly.”
“Something about the electricity that it creates allows spirits to speak through it,” she explained.
Hudgens told People in March 2011 that a spirit had paid her a visit when she was shooting “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” in North Carolina.
“North Wilmington is one of the oldest, most haunted places in North America,” she said at the time, claiming she tried to chase the unearthly presence.

“I was chasing around my ghost for, like, 10 minutes solid, and then it got way too freaky, and I just left,” she said. “I feel like [the ghost] might have lost a husband at war and she’s waiting for her man to come back to her.
“It was definitely a female spirit. I could tell,” she added.
