Well, consider the context. If a ghost story is set in a place that has a history of superstition and people trying to make money from tourism by creating spooky stories, it might be fake. However, if multiple reliable witnesses report the same strange event in a place with no such history, like an ordinary office building, it could be more real. Another thing is to analyze if there are natural causes that could explain it. For instance, a 'ghostly moan' could be just the wind whistling through a crack.
One way is to look for logical explanations. If there's a 'ghost' sighting near a construction site, it could be just strange shadows from the machinery. Also, check the source. If it's from someone known for exaggerating, it's likely fake. For example, if a person who always tells tall tales says they saw a ghost, it's probably not real.
