Are seance horror stories based on real experiences?

In a seance horror story, a young woman participated in a seance to reach her dead sister. At first, it seemed normal, but then she saw a vision of her sister's face contorted in pain. The room became freezing cold. Objects started flying around the room as if thrown by an angry spirit. She was so scared that she vowed never to take part in a seance again.

Some catacomb horror stories may be based on real experiences. People who have explored the catacombs might have had unnerving encounters, like getting lost, feeling claustrophobic, or seeing strange things in the dim light. However, a lot of the really spooky elements, like ghosts and demons, are likely added for the horror factor.

Some people believe so. In certain cultures, there are those who claim to have had personal encounters with the strange and spooky happenings associated with Kumantong, which form the basis of these horror stories.

No. Many seance stories can be explained rationally. For example, people might be influenced by the atmosphere and their own beliefs, causing them to misinterpret normal events as supernatural. Wind can make things move, and our minds can create illusions in the dim light often used in seances.

It's a mix. While there are real - life events like hikers getting lost in the vast ruins or archaeologists having accidents during excavations, the more supernatural aspects are often added later. People love to add a touch of the macabre to their stories. So, when someone says they saw a ghostly figure in a Mexican ruin, it could be a trick of the light combined with their overactive imagination, but there may also be a kernel of truth in the feeling of dread they experienced.

Some might be. There could be cases where people misinterpret natural occurrences around a china doll. For instance, a draft in an old house might make a doll seem like it moved, and then the fear - stricken mind turns it into a horror story.

Seance ghost stories are mostly fictional in nature. When people gather for a seance, the atmosphere is often filled with anticipation and a sense of the supernatural. This can lead to misinterpretations of normal events. For example, a creaking floorboard might be mistaken for a ghostly presence. Also, many seance stories have been passed down and embellished over time, losing any connection to possible real events and becoming pure fiction.

One real seance story is about a family who held a seance in their old farmhouse. They claimed to have contacted their deceased grandmother. The table started to move on its own, and they heard faint whispers. They believed it was her presence. However, it could also be explained by psychological factors like the power of suggestion among the family members.

However, some might be exaggerations. Maybe a person had a mild side effect, like a little bit of nausea, but they blew it out of proportion and made it sound like a huge horror story. Also, sometimes people don't follow the doctor's instructions properly when taking propranolol. For example, they might take too much or not take it at the right time, and then they have a bad experience and blame the drug entirely. But in reality, it could be due to their own mistake.

It's hard to say for sure. While there are many stories from people who claim to have seen the Mogollon Monster, it could be misidentifications of known animals or just tall tales. But the consistency in some of the descriptions makes it seem like there might be something more to it. For example, multiple witnesses talk about a large, hairy, bipedal creature. But without solid evidence like a specimen or clear, irrefutable photos, we can't be certain that these are based on real experiences.
