    • VFX Tutorial Video Shared As Ghost Spotted In Chitrakoot, MP
      Listen to this Article

      A video of a computer-generated visual effects (VFX) tutorial is circulating on social media with false claims that it shows glimpses of a ghost like figure that was spotted in Chitrakoot, Madhya Pradesh.

      BOOM found that the original video was created using VFX by a US based YouTube channel Joseph Njovu Visuals. The video was uploaded on the platform on August 27, 2022.

      The 30 seconds long video shows an apparition atop a truck and moments of it moving towards the curtained room from where it was being filmed.

      The piece of misinformation was further amplified by local Hindi news outlets including News18 Bihar and Chitrakoot Samachar.

      The Hindi news outlets shared the video and claimed that a spirit was seen hovering over a truck parked in Galla Mandi Shankar Bazar under Karvi Kotwali of Chitrakoot. However, both the outlets did not corroborate the viral video.

      View the video report here and here.

      The user also revealed in the video that he was told by someone that the video was being aired as real ghost spotted in Nigeria by social media. The user can be heard saying, "Here is how I made the viral flying witch video. This video has gone quite viral. When I made it, it was actually just for fun. People are thinking it as real."
