Some of them could be true. There are many cases where strange figures or anomalies are caught on camera that can't be easily explained. However, some might also be faked for attention or due to camera glitches.
One of the famous ones is the Brown Lady of Raynham Hall. A photo taken in the hall seems to show a ghostly figure on the staircase. Another is the Amityville Horror case where some claimed to have captured strange things on camera during the supposed hauntings.
In most cases, it's likely a hoax. People might use photo editing software to create the appearance of a ghost for attention or to play a prank. But there are some instances that are really hard to debunk. There have been reports of orbs in photos that some believe are spirits. However, orbs can also be caused by dust particles reflecting light in a certain way. So, it's really a mystery in some situations.
Regarding 'real ghost stories caught on tape' like 'My Ghost Story', many of these stories lack scientific evidence. The tapes might seem convincing at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there could be logical explanations. It could be the result of faulty equipment, like a camera with a glitch that creates strange apparitions. Or perhaps there was some interference during recording. Also, the power of suggestion is strong. If someone is told a place is haunted before they record, they're more likely to believe that any odd occurrence is due to a ghost, when in reality it could be something as simple as a draft causing a curtain to move in an unexpected way.
Some of the things in 'My Ghost Story' that are claimed to be evidence of ghosts could actually be environmental factors. For example, if the story involves cold spots, it could be due to poor insulation in a building rather than the presence of a spirit. And as for the noises on tape, it could be animals or wind that the recorder just didn't notice at the time.
One popular Hindi ghost story is about the 'Churel'. In these stories, a Churel is often the spirit of a woman who died during childbirth or under tragic circumstances. It is said that she haunts the places she used to live or the areas around her death. She is often depicted as having long, unkempt hair, wearing a white sari, and having backwards - facing feet. People believe that if you encounter a Churel, it can bring misfortune or even death.
Yes, most of them are. The idea of the unknown and the supernatural makes them scary. For example, stories of vengeful spirits or haunted places can send chills down your spine.
There's a Hindi story of a family being haunted by a spirit. A woman had died in the house unnaturally. After that, strange things started to happen. Doors would open and close by themselves, objects would move. The family called a priest who told them that it was the woman's spirit who was unhappy. He conducted a ritual to free her spirit and after that the hauntings stopped.
