HOLLYWOOD bombshell Sydney Sweeney says she was chommies with a ghost.

The Housemaid actress had an imaginary pal when she was a child but "creeped out" her mom when it emerged the person she was seeing in the playground had died years before.

The 28-year-old opened up in a revealing interview with W magazine, sharing the spooky tale of an imaginary companion who, she wysed, had passed away long before her birth.

Sweeney freaked out her host with her spook storie that could easily be the plotline of a Hollywood horror.

What started off as an innocent playground playdate, Sweeney added a chilling twist. 

She said: "I think I’ve seen a ghost. When I was little, I used to have an imaginary friend. 

“He would be on the playground at preschool. I would tell my mom about him. It turns out that he was someone who passed away before I was born! It creeped my mom out."

The actress also also opened up about being in control of her dreams, claiming that she could once navigate and boss alles in her nighttime world.

But like her old spook friend, those “powers” have also faded. 

Asked if she remembers her dreams, she said: “Recently, no. I don’t even know if I’m dreaming anymore.

“I used to be a really vivid dreamer. I used to be able to control my dreams; I could lie there and orchestrate all the dreams that I wanted to have that night.

“In the last year or two, I haven’t really been able to dream.”

This adventurous attitude has left Sydney with a few scars as badges of honour from her exploits. 

“I have a scar next to my eye," she recalled, a souvenir from a wakeboarding incident at the tender age of ten that required 17 stitches. 

“Other scars include a knee injury from dirt-bike riding and a mysterious keloid scar from an unknown insect bite while filming Eden in Australia.

Meanwhile, Sweeney will be back in the role of Millie in sequel to the recent box-office hit The Housemaid, according to Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Chair Adam Fogelson.  

Fogelson said: “It’s clear from both the global box office and from the outpouring on social media that audiences have responded strongly – and audibly – to the totally unique and truly theatrical experience of The Housemaid and want to know what happens next.”
