I've attempted this previous but the results never seem sufficient. Using a cell phone screen or a flat panel light source, the film can be photographed using a macro lens, but getting the right exposure level and even when done, the proper color can be an issue in settings (the new Gimp 2.10 has a tool option for developed film, but also color invert is a bit more nuanced.) This tutorial has an advanced video as well.

I get the impression that the person that started this youtube channel 'The Paranormal Files (Official Channel)' has started to fake some of the content.

I'm looking back over, 'DEMON Caught ON CAMERA @ DE SOTO HOTEL (Scariest Place in Texas) | THE PARANORMAL FILES' (which has some questionable bullshit. https://youtu.be/MKSkRf6jsSM ) because the hotel burned down within weeks of them filming there, and I pretty much just ignored the video (way too much propping the video up as if he knew it would be destroyed and possibly arson being committed, and the background of the building seems completely fabricated,) and at around the 2hr mark the part where he records what sounded like audible noise coming from within the building, after a few cuts in the video it sounds like a door closing and a girls voice when you listen with headphones, and I highly suspect they were starting to BS part of the way throughout because it was never explained what the heck was going on in the first half where a guy is going on about how haunted the place is and talking about people having images, nor showing any of their own evidence (which should have been shared along with the claimed injuries they received in one of the parts of the video.) Usually, people want to keep records of something which can be shown off to people, especially when it seems he was very observant of the history of the place.
I suspect that either they intended to hype up the location just prior to fire engulfing the main upper floors, or the video drew more attention to the place (such as, perhaps when they locked the outside perimeter--which should have been their damn responsibility to begin with--they might have had someone upset they couldn't get back in the building and so they throw something flamable inside?) You can see the upper floors missing in google maps, which you can see by going to the main street (which was photographed on the same month the fire happened.) https://goo.gl/maps/8VdxqkEAtHkbvSFk9
Reddit seems to mention them a lot (though believe he's more legit, which to some extent might be true, but when they start loudly commenting on things they claim to be hearing, it seems less interest is being made to actually document the phenomenon, especially when they start adding music or sound effects. . . They start putting "unexplained knocking" which could be anything and rarely is it audible in recording.

The same could be suggested of 'haunted' hotels, and yet reading through the comments suggest maybe it's not just made up.
