Not necessarily. Strange things might just be things that are out of the ordinary in our daily perception. For example, an old abandoned house with creaking floors and peeling wallpapers may seem strange, but it could simply be due to years of neglect and natural decay, not related to a ghost story at all. Sometimes, our mind just tends to associate the unknown or strange with the supernatural, but in reality, there are often more rational explanations.
No. A strange thing can be many different things. It could be a rare natural phenomenon, like a ball lightning which looks very strange but is a scientific mystery not a ghost story. It could also be an odd behavior of an animal that we don't understand at first sight, but has a biological explanation.
Of course not. Strange things can be the result of human creativity or misunderstanding. An artist might create a very strange - looking sculpture that people find hard to understand at first, but it's a form of art, not a ghost story. Also, in some situations, a strange noise in the middle of the night could be just the wind blowing through a loose window or a malfunctioning appliance, rather than something supernatural.
Fear and the unknown. When a strange thing has no immediate explanation and it induces fear in people, it can easily be turned into a ghost story. For example, if people hear unexplained footsteps in an empty old building, they might start to think it's a ghost because they are scared of the unknown source of the sound.
I don't think it's true. Usually, such stories are made up to engage the audience and spark imagination rather than being based on real events. Maybe they draw inspiration from common human experiences, but not specific real-life incidents.
Not necessarily. Some ghost stories can have elements of mystery or even humor and not just sadness.
Not necessarily. Sometimes unbelievable fiction can be exciting and offer a refreshing escape from reality.
Not necessarily. A ghost story can have various themes and plots, not just limited to love.
Yes, it is. It often delves into some very dark and complex family dynamics that are presented in a disturbing yet thought - provoking way.
Well, 'The Strange Thing about the Johnsons' has a real story that's quite hard to stomach. It shows a situation where the power dynamics within a family are completely warped. The father - son relationship is not what one would expect in a normal family. Instead, it involves elements of abuse and a very strange form of control. This makes the viewers think about the dark sides that could potentially exist within family units, even if it's a very extreme and uncomfortable portrayal.
Well, it might be the soul of a person who died in a white dress or robe. Their spirit is now floating around, perhaps because they have unfinished business. For example, if a bride died on her wedding day in a white gown, her ghost could be the white and floating thing in the story, still lingering in the place where she was supposed to be happy.
The most mysterious and strange thing in Xiangxi was corpse chasing.
