YouTuber Daisy Marquez denied claims that she staged the paranormal activity which she captured on video and posted online.

Marquez, who has 1.3 million followers on YouTube, was reviewing some skincare products in her bathroom for a sponsored ad when the door behind her slowly swung open. She stopped mid-sentence and stared down at the stairs and hallway, but apparently there was no one there.

Confused, the artist turned off the camera. She later tweeted the clip along with a caption that said, “I was in the middle of filming a sponsorship and this just happened...”

In a follow-up tweet, Marquez added that it wasn’t the only spooky thing that happened that day as she was earlier pushed down the stairs by “something.”

“I’m trying to put two and two together and I find it so weird that I fell down the stairs earlier today,” she tweeted. “I didn’t trip, I wasn’t on my phone I legit just fell down the stairs as if something pushed me..I find it so bizarre and scary now that this just happened.”

While some of her followers believed her claims, there were many who said that Marquez had staged the whole thing in hopes of getting more views.

“It's fake as hell lol i'm sure she can't believe the amount of people that eat it up too,” one of the users replied.

Another suggested that Marquez had used her arm to open the door.

“Having seen daisy’s videos she probably would never film in that lighting, and it looks straight out clickbait,” another user said.

However, Marquez has denied claims that she staged the video saying whatever happened in the video was 100% real. She even offered an explanation as to why the set-up in the video was a little different from her usual YouTube video set-up.

However, this is not the first time Marquez has posted videos detailing her paranormal experiences. In January, she talked about how her camera kept shutting off while trying to record herself, in her video titled “I’m being haunted *not clickbait*,” Fox News reported.

According to Marquez, she was terrified after she started hearing voices outside her door and taps on the wall. She couldn't sleep one night after her door unlocked and opened.

Some of her followers had even provided her tips on how to counter the apparent spirit that dwelled in her house.

“Get your house blessed by a priest sounds like a negative entity is there. Have an open bible at all times in your house laying somewhere for the meantime,” one Twitter user commented.
