Not really. Most of these stories are based on hearsay and superstition. People might misinterpret normal sounds or sights as something paranormal. For example, an old house creaking could be just the wood settling, but in a ghost story, it becomes a spirit making its presence known.
One real ghost incident story is about the Winchester Mystery House. Sarah Winchester, the owner, kept building onto the house in a very strange way. Some believe it was to confuse the spirits she thought were haunting her. There were staircases leading to nowhere, doors opening to walls. People have reported strange noises and cold spots in the house, as if some unseen entities were present.
Because I don't know which incident you're referring to. If you can provide more background information, I will try my best to help you confirm the authenticity of this incident.
There's a story of a disabled athlete. Despite his physical challenges, he trained hard every day. He participated in a marathon and managed to finish it. His determination inspired many people in his community to pursue their dreams regardless of difficulties.
A young girl once saw a bully picking on a smaller child at school. Despite being scared, she stood up to the bully and told a teacher. She showed great courage in that situation. She knew the bully might target her too, but she still did the right thing.
Here's another one. A man was driving on a lonely highway at night when suddenly his car broke down. He had no cell phone signal. After waiting for a while, a truck driver stopped. The truck driver not only helped him fix his car but also shared his dinner with him. It was a simple meal but it meant a lot to the stranded man in that situation.
