A woman has been fined after fabricating a series of social media posts claiming she encountered ghosts while taking a boat tour in Trang An, one of northern Vietnam’s most popular tourist destinations. On June 9, police in Ninh Binh Province announced an administrative fine of VND7.5 million (USD289) against L.Q.A., a resident of Hanoi, for providing and sharing false and fabricated information that caused public concern and confusion.

Authorities said the case stemmed from 37 social media posts that circulated widely online, recounting alleged supernatural and paranormal experiences during a boat trip in Trang An.

The posts, published through a Threads account under the name “Netolatone,” described a series of mysterious incidents that were portrayed as spiritual and unexplained phenomena.

The stories quickly attracted significant public attention, generating more than 52,000 likes along with tens of thousands of comments, shares and other interactions. Police said the posts sparked controversy, affected public order and negatively impacted the tourism image of Ninh Binh Province.

Following an investigation, authorities summoned the woman for questioning.

...

The case comes amid broader efforts by authorities to combat the spread of false information and sensational content on social media platforms, particularly material that may cause public misunderstanding or damage local tourism and community interests.

While I think this person should be free to say stuff, I must state I would not appreciate it if, after my death, someone goes around saying I’m married to Hillary Clinton in “Ghost World.”

It’s all fun and games until a ghost pushes you off the boat.

I guess these cops never saw Paranormal Survivor, Vietnam Edition, where the guy talked about seeing a field full of ghost soldiers.
