Haunted playground

I found this on the net and thought I should share it here. Seems the UK has a haunted playground that has baffled scientists. Take a look at these links:

Man, I would love to investigate that place. I am sure we will hear more about this one if it is true.

Sorry if this has already been discussed, the forum search returns a PHP Nuke/SQL error.

Nice video.It is ashame that the playground is not close by.I am skeptical because of how wide the seats are. Also it is in a large open field where the wind has free range.Plus you have alot of people standing around but no one trying to debunk it.The only thing they would have to do is have two people walk around the swing set with a 6'x10' plastic tarp and try to block the wind.In the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMDFz-DLtzg the green fenceing will speed up the wind bouncing off the seats the sameway a barrel shroud does over the barrel of a machine gun for cooling

it could be a magnetic force being applied, say magnetic stuff under the sand or applied from a distance .. it would have to be powerful, but... it's a thought. cool though! Bimmy

I watched both videos again.Why don't they have any sound to them? Plus if a spirit is strong enough to move the swings why is their not any movment to the water below the swings?

Yeah! cwf08, that is a good observation! you can see the wind blowing from the debris being moved around, the water may be in a bit of a depression and the wind is not active enough to move it, too. so... it raises many questions! I think if they are posting it, then they need to show a full video and account for all the environmental aspects at the site, before they call it haunted.
I have seen swings like that on a playground move in the wind and they do make noise they all squeek, in sore need of some oiling.
but is may just be some kind of natural penomenon, as it does not do it on command. nothin about it seemed too spooky, but it looked cool, and even a natural reason for it would still be cool... I concur, further investigation is needed! Bimmy

It doesn't make sense that the wind would blow one swing wildly and not the others. It "looks" magnetic, but you would have to have a really strong magnet as suggested.

If it doesn't stop for weeks, the idea that someone could control a magnet that long would be faulty too.

The fact that the swings don't stop swinging, says a lot. I just don't know what.....Even the wind stops and starts during week long periods.

Dunno yet. Smile

I'm still thinking on this one. I'll have to get back when I actually have somethign useful! Smile

Im not too sure that it was the wind that was causing it to swing, I believe if it was the other two would be moving more than they are. This is very strange though and is something to think about.

Here's a better clip from the same playground from the first post. It has more people around the playground that seem to be trying to figure it out.
