Apparently, "The Skeleton Key" actress Kate Hudson is afraid of Hollywood's bad karma and she carries a bottle of water, so she can splash it over her body, whenever she meets someone surrounded by "negative energy".

The 26-year-old says, "When I'm around people who have bad energy, I usually carry some water and I just kind of, like, put it on myself.

"It's not like a holy water, just something to cleanse myself if someone's really negative. And I carry around crystals too. I feel it's important to protect yourself" the actress added.

Hudson, daughter of Goldie Hawn, also declared she believes in the sixth sense and claims everyone has it. "I'm not afraid of that kind of stuff. I think everyone's psychic. It's just believing in your intuition".

"The Skeleton Key", opening in UK this week, features Hudson as Caroline, a young woman helping an invalid in New Orleans, who finds herself caught in the middle of morbid going-ons centered around a group of Voodoo practitioners.
