In the film, she played the wife of actor Mr Beautiful, and one scene required her character to be killed as part of a money ritual.
The shoot was scheduled for midnight after earlier scenes had run over time.
Maame Gyanwaa's coffin ordeal
For the sequence, Maame Gyanwaa was placed inside a coffin while Mr Beautiful performed the ritual actions above her.
She said that shortly after being sealed inside, Mr Beautiful fell onto the coffin and began weeping uncontrollably.
She then felt a sudden rush of cold air and lost consciousness.
The director, she said, simultaneously appeared to experience sleep paralysis and was unable to call cut.
When Gyanwaa eventually came around, she found members of the crew gathered around her, embracing her with visible relief.
When the team returned to the hotel and reviewed the footage, they discovered the cameras had not captured anything from the scene.
The crew later concluded that they had failed to pour libation before filming.
After performing the ritual, they returned to the location and reshot the scene without incident, with all the footage coming out clearly.
Maame Gyanwaa's pool scene turns dangerous
A separate incident involved a scene in which Mr Beautiful was to push Gyanwaa into a pool.
The veteran actress claimed she stepped away briefly to pray before the shoot, but the director called her back to set before she had finished.
Moments after she rejoined the crew at the poolside, lights and other electrical equipment toppled into the water.
Gyanwaa said that had she already been in the pool at that moment, she would likely have been struck by electricity.
Her account prompted responses on social media, with several users reflecting on the spiritual and safety dimensions of filming in unconventional settings.
