Julie Andrews Recalls Feeling a Chilling Presence at the Real Von Trapp Family Home

April 12, 2025 — Salzburg, Austria

Legendary actress Julie Andrews, best known for her iconic role as Maria in The Sound of Music, recently shared a spine-tingling memory from her visit to the real Von Trapp family home — and it’s not what fans might expect.

In a candid recollection, Andrews revealed that during her time at the original Austrian estate where the real-life Von Trapp family once lived, she experienced a deeply unsettling sensation.

“I could quite literally feel the evil in that house,” Andrews said. “It wasn’t just cold or eerie—it was something deeper. A strange energy that made me incredibly uneasy.”

Though the beloved 1965 film was shot at various picturesque locations across Salzburg, the cast did not film inside the actual Von Trapp residence. Andrews’ visit came later, driven by curiosity and admiration for the real family’s story.

While she didn’t elaborate on what might have caused the ominous feeling, her comments have stirred intrigue among fans of the film and history buffs alike. Some speculate that the home’s heavy past—marked by the family’s flight from Nazi-occupied Austria—may have left an emotional imprint.

Whether psychological or supernatural, Andrews’ experience adds a haunting twist to the legacy of The Sound of Music and the real-life heroes who inspired it.
