When it comes to Netflixâs definitely horror/maybe docu-series Haunted, everyone wants to know the answer to one question: is Haunted real or fake? After all, the series begins every episode with text claiming that the stories are true, but whether or not they actually are tends to depend on how you define âtrue.â Since the existence of ghosts and demons and aliens is highly contested and nowhere in the realm of accepted, mainstream, scientific truth, thereâs a whole lotta room for skepticism when it comes to tales about possessions and vengeful spirits. But Haunted isnât there to prove the existence of well ghosts or shape-shifting demons. Itâs there to give people, purportedly not actors, a chance to tell stories about what they believe happened to them (or, as in way too many of the cases, is still happening to them).
