Yo unicyclists,
I was listening to radio one this morrning and they we discussing a “ghost swing”. Appranently there is this swing which swings all by itself, police then contacted physics experts and they couldn’t explain it. This interested me and I just googled it but only came up with this, does anybody else know anything else about this?
btw: the vid may be wrong and unrelated
That’s just the girl from the Fantastic Four. The stretchy guy is out of the pic pushing her so you can’t see his thin arm.
Too late to edit…
There’s the problem, they didn’t contact the psychics experts. Why were the police investigating in the first place? Was the alleged ghost committing a crime?
There was supposedly a little girl/ghost swinging on a swing at midnight in Slovenia. Not long ago. Maybe she swam to England now:D
I know very little, I wondering if anybody else knows anymore. Mabey it’ll be on the news somtime.
I think the report is from portugal, I’m not sure though.
Aside from other forms of hoax, my guess is simply wind. The story reads like a hoax, of which one of the main ingredients is a lack of information. How much wind was there? Who are all those people? Why were the police called?
Notice at the beginning of the video just above, all three swings move at the beginning. I’m guessing the angle of wind is just right to get the middle one oscillating to where it gets a good swing going, while not hitting the other two in the necessary way, perhaps due to the supporting poles. Facing to one side, the swing catches the wind, but then rotates to the other side, and falls back. with the perfect conditions, this cycle could repeat indefinitely as long as the wind remains constant.
Ghosts schmosts. I’ve been to the Amityville Horror house. Not scary at all. One guy committed a mass-murder in the house, then later owners, pissed off about how they probably weren’t told about it before buying the place, wrote a scary book. Good for them.
I’d go with wind too.
That seat is curved and is a natural sail.
The other swing isn’t moving because it’s a different type of seat.
This is actually all over the internet. The Sun probably just picked up the story. Must have been on page one or two, does anyone ever get past page 3?
That seems to be a leading theory. Physicsforums have chimed in on it already; we’re behind the times.
such bull crap! you can get really invisible string at wally world. they jusst tied it and pulled it. you can see how it swings back toward the camera really fast but was just falling forward like someone was pulling it at the back of the swing.
I was unicycling past a park one day recently and saw two swings swinging on their own. Then I saw a couple of kids hiding in the bushes.
Fascinating. Please do go on.
we love it!
had to put that in there for you 
I’m guessing indecent exposure. It doesn’t look like the ghost is wearing any clothes.

I think it may just be the wind channeled on the the one swing, hmmm
So they actually CONFIRMED the ghost by Kirlian photography, a way of photographing auras and such!!!
cooool, do you have a link to the photo?
Bullsh*t or not?
Film at eleven.
apparwntly thinere is a place nere my house where you park a car on a hill leave it in neutral and it will roll up the hill, Creepy
