Some might be real in the sense that people have had genuinely strange experiences. For example, a woman reported that her weighted blanket made her feel like she was being held down by an unseen force. It could be that there was some sort of psychological factor at play, like her own subconscious fears manifesting when she was in a vulnerable state under the blanket. However, it could also be that there were physical factors she wasn't aware of, like improper use of the blanket causing discomfort that she misinterpreted as something more sinister.
There are also cases where it's hard to tell. A man once said that his weighted blanket seemed to have a life of its own. It would shift and bunch up in strange ways during the night. He wasn't sure if it was just the normal movement of the filling inside or if there was something more to it. He started to become paranoid and couldn't sleep well. In such a situation, it could be a combination of a faulty product (maybe the filling wasn't evenly distributed) and the power of suggestion from all the horror stories he had heard about weighted blankets.
One horror story is about a person who got a weighted blanket that seemed to move on its own at night. They would wake up feeling like something was slowly dragging the blanket off them. It was so terrifying that they eventually threw the blanket away.
I have a success story myself. I often get anxious during flights. I decided to take my weighted blanket with me once. As soon as I wrapped it around me on the plane, I noticed a significant reduction in my anxiety. The weight of the blanket made me feel more grounded and secure. It distracted me from the noises and the general uneasiness of flying, allowing me to have a much more pleasant flight experience.

One of the stories could be about a haunted Japanese house. There are often tales of spirits lingering in old, traditional Japanese homes.
