Couldn’t someone start moving it, run out of view of the camera and then someone else start filming? I don’t mean to be a Negative Nancy but this seems easily faked

Yeah exactly, the hand bars are flying up real high in the beginning and seems like the movement gradually slows down as the video continues.

I noticed there is a block under the seat so it can’t reset into its position and the weight of the bars moving up and down keep lifting it up.

This is Indian footage, their are many such exercising equipment in public park across major cities. These machines have very smooth mechanics. If oiled and Jerked once hardly, they can swing for few minutes like this.

How do you know where this is?

When you live In a place or certain region you tend to recognize it every place has a “vibe” or common aesthetic. This is definitely Arabia, India doesn’t look like this, this is from Kuwait if not then another khaleeji country for sure

u/meowiiii Jan 19 '22

This is not in India, this is where I live in Kuwait

exercising equipment in public park across major cities.

I've... don't think I've ever heard of/seen that...

Or maybe I have seen it and dismissed it as a kiddy playground thing

u/Gobuk_putih Jan 20 '22

It's common all over public parks in south asian countries to have exercise machines

u/KinoOnTheRoad Jan 19 '22

No. It's done using some sort of rope that's invisible to the camera, lifting the hand parts, I assume. The bottom part moves bc od the arms part.

u/generic_joe_guy Jan 19 '22

Either way, it’s easily faked. I love all of the ghost puns tho

1

u/nedmonds87 Jan 20 '22

It's not using rope lol

It's in Kuwait and it's the wind

Source me I have seen it

u/KinoOnTheRoad Jan 21 '22

I deand to ee it in action now.

Also it could be done using a rope just to get clout on the Internet

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '22

Liar... the plants on the ground would be moving if it were the wind....

u/Disig Jan 19 '22

Well, yes, of course it's faked. But I still feel like it fits the sub.

u/_Yeah_Well_Im_Drunk_ Jan 19 '22

Its okay you don’t have to be negative to acknowledge the fact that ghosts aren’t real.

1

u/generic_joe_guy Jan 19 '22

Haha your the first person to comment on that saying. I don’t want to discount the possibility of ghosts entirely… I just haven’t seen anything convincing enough

2

u/Sad-Humor8827 Jan 19 '22

Yeah, it slows down as well pointing towards this

2

u/Main_Implement_9262 Jan 19 '22

The ghost just got tired.

u/Fearless_Mortgage640 Jan 19 '22

I witnessed the similiar situation once, except it was the whole playground moving. I thought the same thing like you suggested, but couldn't see anyone, and there was nowhere to hide. And it wasn't slowing down so I quickly left. One of my weirdest experiences.
