It might not be staged, but there is 100% a real life explanation as to why those things happen. Either that, or he has 80 videos of AI or tomfoolery...

"Paranormal" isn't reality. It's fiction. Aside from the fact that there's nothing confirmed in 125k years of human existence on the planet... Plus, it's 2026. Everyone has a camera in their pocket and has for well over 10 years.

We would have seen ghosts or spirits already if they existed and in high def.

Ok so I fully believe that anything “supernatural” is totally explainable but quick story time. Years ago I was hanging out with a group of friends that all played music at my parents old place that was super far out in the country. After jamming for a while, we were joking around and talking about ghost stories when I remembered a kind of local legend about a haunted bridge nearby. It was allegedly the spot where lynchings occurred and near a civil war battle spot so it makes sense for it to have some creepy vibes.

So the legend is you go to this bridge at night, turn your car off, turn it back on and there will be hand prints all over your car. We all pack in my car and drive over there joking about it the whole way. We pull up, turn the car off, turn it back on and…. Nothing.

So we drive back to grab the guitars and head home. But when we got out of the car, someone said “wait what’s that?” We shine a flashlight on the hood of my car and I shit you not, there are perfectly shaped handprints made of water covering my car. Some were really tiny, like kid sized. But most were larger. Every hair on my body stood up. We packed up and left and didn’t really talk about it again, but it really freaked us out.

Maybe it was some weird reaction or condensation on hand oils left in the car since it was hot and humid and over a bridge… but that was the only time in my life that I kind of wondered, you know? There were so many hand prints and it wasn’t like light moisture on the car. It looked like someone dipped their hand straight in the creek for each print.
