Spooky 4 Halloween

http://naturalplane.blogspot.com/200...s-kids-in.html

Apparently theres a haunted swing set that pushes itself. It'd be spooky if little kids didn't still play there.

Google it and you'll find a few more articles linked to established news sources.

My money is that the same thing that is blowing around the red jacketed persons hair is also pushing the swings.

Re: Spooky 4 Halloween

The wind maybe? Somehow I'm not convinced.

That would make sense if all three swings were swinging, but how do you explain just the one? Rusty chains? The middle swing's links are oiled?

How is the wind strong enough to blow that one swing so hard... yet leave the other two almost motionless... Im not validating it either but damn.. it cant be wind or the other two would be moving as well... plus the swing picks up momentum even when you cant hear much wind on the mic or see it in people's hair... very strange indeed.

Re: Spooky 4 Halloween

I think we should send unbaptised children to play at that play ground, then see if they start puking pea soup.

Re: Spooky 4 Halloween

Creepy as hell. I think the wind was blowing the outer ones for awhile, but then the camera angle changed, and they stopped. The middle one really started swinging, and it was swaying side to side a little bit.

Wind can affect items in odd ways. Have you ever seen video of the Tacoma Narrows bridge weaving in high winds? The winds at the right speed caused the bridge to dance. The same winds struck other bridges, however this is the one that react. So go with whatever answer resonates with you.

ahh.. but were the other bridges seemingly identical to the one dancing around ? and were those other bridges 15 inches from it ?

So go with Ghosts then if you feel that the video clearly showed ghosts pushing that swing. I'll stubbornly stick to the wind catching one swing and for reasons unshown not hitting the other two. All it takes is a small difference in the shape for the wind to catch in the swing to push it.

Exactly. I'm assuming the other swings were made of the same materials and they're obviously of the same design and are evidently being exposed to the same environment.

Looks weird to me...

Re: Spooky 4 Halloween

I'm not convinced it was wind or ghosts. Probably because I have not seen ghosts and it doesn't make sense for the wind to pick the middle swing instead of the other two.

I was thinking maybe fishing line? But then all of those kids would have to be playing along, too, so I don't know...
