An out-of-control playground swing has spooked families and police in Argentina. The swing rocks back and forwards without being touched - and anxious parents have decided the playground must be haunted. In an attempt to explain the swing's mysterious movement, police called in physics professors. But even they have been unable to explain the why the swing keeps moving.
Residents claim the middle swing in a playground in the north-eastern town of Firmat can keep moving continuously for ten days before suddenly coming to a halt. You have to watch 1 minute into the video to see the swing start moving.
I think it's the wind!

Yeah I wondered that too - but if so, why doesn't the other swings move as well.
What the fuck, it's obviously wind. What kind of professors were these? The other's don't swing because it's a fluke of aerodynamics and the barns create too much turbulence or some such thing. If it were a ghost wouldn't you expect it to move as if someone were swinging in it?
What about the little kid that is leaning against the swing? Wind and a little leaning might be able to get it swinging like that.
Even if ghosts exist (I have my doubts), why would one waste his time yanking a swing around? I agree it's either the wind or someone pulling a fast one. Still it was interesting to watch.
By leaning on it in a certain rhythm you can get the middle swing to move much more then the others. Clever kid.
I am not going to watch.. because I am sure a monster will pop up and scream at me!
WTF!
Get that damn kid outta there!
Then let's see what happens.
CLEARLY THE KID HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS... COOL EFFECT THOUGH.
The wind certainly makes enough noise on the video...
harmonics!
