Replace ghost stories with the creepy house at the end of that old road having an old woman in who eats children if they try and get their ball back, and turns them into puppets making the next victim watch the show, then. And it's totally happening because I heard a crunch one time that must have been bones. The fact that it's possible to eat a child or make a puppet does little to make this kind of thing much more realistic. The much simpler answer is that you are more predictable than you think, and likely more influenced by things Google can watch (clicks, ads) than you think. You also don't spot when it doesn't recommend something so accurate so it could even just be chance (or at least doesn't mean they're good at it)
