He elaborated, “They’re totally honest, reasonable, smart people, and this was something that was really a wound that they dealt with. It was a jarring, traumatic event. It resonated with me incredibly.”

He recalled the incident while shooting in England, he was living in a haunted house, called The Old Vicarage, which was one of those places that doesn’t even have an address. He further stated that he was living in the house with his family, adding, “It was called that because vicars, when they came to town and were working at the church, would reside there. The place was probably a couple hundred years old.”
