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.

Following an investigation, authorities summoned the woman for questioning.

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.
Wonder what she was tripping on.
