I found some really great videos by YouTuber HauntedHoax. He is all about the ghost busting, debunking and hoaxing for educational purposes.

On CT scanning of the abdomen and pelvis, the right testis was not identified but the left side of the scrotum seemed to be occupied by a screaming ghostlike apparition (Figure 1). By chance, the distribution of normal anatomical structures within the left side of the scrotum had combined to produce this image. What of the undescended right testis? None was found. If you were a right testis, would you want to share the scrotum with that?

I honestly don’t know if the Girl in the Fire photo is a hoax or not. The program raised some good questions, but it didn’t seem to me (for the information given) to really be an overwhelmingly clear case of fraud.

But, this is what makes sense to me:
