It is in all likelihood real, at least most of them. With the ones you may not understand over other episodes , due to not always can the uniqueness of these situations able to be told or explained in a TV screen written way as other of the series can. Some situations are literally just "too wild" or "out there" for anyone rational to wrap their brain around.

If those that are not, get involved, they may have experience, but are still just a case away from a very real and specific doom. Many, too many, are purely "lucky" they just haven't seen the worst cases yet. Claim to, but in reality haven't. But to some, it may seem like they " seen it all", till you've actually "SEEN A LIVE LEVITATING Latin speaking, Demon that knows what you've done wrong and tells you" Then "Crawls up to the ceiling in center of room , only not using a ladder, rope, anything physical, while staring at you , not using hands, . . Or feet!. . . And sounds like 2 or 4 peoples voices are coming out of the mouth hole, not a sound effect, not a trick, because how do I know? The poor soul undressed mostly prior to the act. Naturally this person deserves their privacy, but wow could the act be done without possession, no seat in any arena would be vacant to see that. , It's hard not to talk about, if nothing else but to make others confirm your nuts, or confirm your luckily unlucky.
