Haunted swing or mother nature?

that was neet at first i thought it was the wind but when just the one swing went way above the others i was really surprized nice find

Checked out an answering video, said something about resonance, seems to kinda sorta fit, though it's still weird that it went that high while the other swings didn't. Interesting, definitely.

There is no logical reason why - with all that wind (saw several of the copies on YouTube) that only that one swing should move, by all rights due to the wind all should be moving like that one.

There is definately something strange there...

like i said, i watched the answering video...it gave a scientific explanation of harmonic resonance, using two pendulums side by side on a string that was stretched between two chairs. He got one swinging, then the energy was transferred via the string to the other pendulum, which then also began to swing, and it went back and forth like that.

Problem is......energy did NOT go back and forth between the two outside swings and the middle one that was swinging so high. The two outside swings moved pretty much the way you'd expect them to move in wind, while the middle one kept getting higher and higher, and that energy was never transferred back to the other swings, as was suggested should happen with resonance as the supposed debunker tried to show in his pendulum comparison.

Plus, these swings are not connected by a string, they are on metal braces. It would take a hell of a vibration to get a swing to go like that! I wonder if I go to the swingset outside and try banging on our swingset if our swings would do that? NOT!

Paranormal? I'd say yes, not so much that a ghost per se was behind this, rather that the swing was behaving outside the norm, vis a vie PARA norm, of what one would expect in those conditions. Yes, it was windy, you could hear the wind really loud in the mike. But I'd have to wonder if it wouldn't take gale force winds to get that swing going like it was going! lol!

Either way, very interesting.

I don't know about this one. Harmonic resonances can be a bit freaky. I'm sure you've all seen the video of the suspension bridge that swung violently until it fell down. Physics can be fun.

A Magnetic Field under the set , even if not entional magnets or what ever , magnets repell each other so if there was something under that one swing it would explaine it

If you're speaking of that bridge in Washington State that collapsed due to high winds, yes. I've seen the video as well as several documentaries on this and it was basically a poor design by the Architect. He didn't take into consideration what affects HIGH winds would play on this bridge.

If you've seen pictures of the Golden Gate or San Francisco Bay bridges, you'll see that they were designed differently. Yes the Bay bridge has 2 decks but the Golden Gate is only a single deck. The superstructure that was added under the roadway (hanging below) was designed to counteract what happened in Washington.

As for HW's post. Yes a magnetic field under the seats would have an effect, but, it would effect all 3 seats and not just the center one, reguardless if something had been placed (hidden) under the bottom of the seat. For a magnetic field to be strong enough to push or pull, all 3 seats would have moved or stayed completely still (or almost completely)...

Yea I know.. I"m playing Mr Answer Man.. LOL..

I'm bored and I'm in a debunking mood...

Hey Spooked

Well i had my look at it three times, first time i watched the swings and indeed seen the middle swing go much higher and a bit faster then the other two swing....so then i decided to watch it again to see if someone maybe played around with the video..so second time i strictly watched all the people and the action going on in the background...i could not see anything unusual like people appearing and disappearing..or random things happening

so i watched it a third time, and came to my opinion that there is a good chance this is paranormal of some nature..being windy not sure how windy, we are talking about the adult swing set here or teens, the swings are usually made out of links that are heavy and the seat you sit in is made of a heavy well made material...i find it weird if it was windy why did the middle one go the highest and not all three at the same time....

nice find you got spooked 1....i like it
train

some of you may want to watch it again is there suppose to be no sound btw lol sorry but I didnt hear anything anywho about I want to say not even the half way point you see a really freeky black shpae kinda zoom thru the video it wasnt a shadow cause if its height its just zooms right to left then its gone it only lasts like a nansecond if thats possible. I would watch it again and maybe someone could screenshot it and check it out cause I dont know how to do that.

Along these lines I went on a Haunted Ghost Tour in Las Vegas and they had the exact same thing a child who was killed on a curve near a school is said to play on the swings on the playground. And whatta know the swing moved not like the ones in the video but it was weird since the air inbetween the chains of the swing that was moving was colder than the air around it and there was no breeze that night.
