Wolfhard's eerie encounter in an abandoned mansion
Wolfhard detailed his unsettling experience, saying, "I've been in a lot of supernatural movies and TV shows, but ironically, I've never really seen a full-on ghost." "But there was a time when I was a kid shooting IT in this abandoned mansion in Toronto, and me and a bunch of the other cast were exploring the floors."
'No one knew who that was...'
The actor went on to describe the encounter, saying, "We went up to the top floor and there was one room where we saw a guy in black just kind of doing electrician work." "And we were just like, 'Okay, that's just a crew member,' but then later, we found out that no one knew who that was, and no one ever saw him again." "It could have been someone just messing around, but, yeah, it was pretty scary."
Wolfhard's role in 'IT' and other horror projects

The story follows seven kids haunted by Pennywise, a shape-shifting clown played by Bill Skarsgård.
