I think some of the stories could be real. People often don't make up things like seeing strange shadows or feeling cold presences without a reason. Maybe there are some unexplained phenomena in the Cary Belvedere Apartments. However, it's also possible that some stories are just the result of overactive imaginations or people trying to create a bit of a scare.
There could be a mix of both. The Cary Belvedere Apartments are old buildings, and old buildings sometimes have strange noises or drafts that can be misinterpreted as something supernatural. But at the same time, there are so many consistent reports of similar 'horror' experiences that it makes you wonder if there isn't something more to it. It could be that there are real, but as - yet - unexplained events that are fueling these horror stories.
