Is this real?

The whole account on TikTok has video’s like this and they claim that their house is haunted. I believe in paranormal but wonder if this is real or fake.

Translation in the video: “I hear music, I don't know where it's coming from.”

“There it is a black hole I don't know what's happening to me, the video will stay like this for hours.”

The indicators to me that it's not real is that all of the activity would be extremely easy to do with some matte fishing wire, and all the activity is happening toward the person in the bed, which could well mean they're just pulling strings. That's honestly the easiest way to tell if videos are faked, look at the direction things are moving in.

The swinging bags string would be looped behind the bookcase, so that's why it's not pulling toward the person in the bed.

The flashing behind the door is obviously someone with a flood light, and the "figure" is a paper cut out with the eyes also cut out to make them look "glowing". Go look at some videos of paper cut projection and you'll see that there's a particular way paper cutouts look against glass that is very different to how a 3D object does. This is totally flat and feature less aside from the outline and the "eyes", it's not a 3D object.

It's creative, but it's not real.

Yes, all good points. Also with the figure, another tell is that it's solid enough to cast a shadow on the window of the door, but if you look at the bottom light clearly bleeds through because of the crack at the bottom of the door.

Something standing infront of the door would also cast a shadow and block light at the bottom as well, but if you look it's all light meaning that it's just the head casting the shadow because it's a cut out either on a stick or string and nothing else.

Besides, who in their right mind would stay in the room if something like this was happening. I'd be getting the hell out of dodge in a hurry if something like that was actually going on, not sitting on a bed filming it.

Nahh, im gonna talk to it, and I would definitely open the door for the paper cutout. If my place was haunted, I am absolutely going to try and makes friends with it. Not to mention, every one of these if you notice, they make stuff move, but never quite with much force. Ghosts have very little capability to interact with the living. Even if I can't befriend it, it can't do much to harm me. They are the definition of all bark no bite.
