Phantom fitness freak! Spooky moment police find ‘haunted’ outdoor gym equipment moving by itself in the middle of night

  • The bizarre footage shows uniformed officers standing around the equipment
  • Officers went to Kashiram Park in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, India on June 11
  • They discovered pranksters had over-greased the mechanism and left it running

Police in India were called to a park in the middle of the night by local people who reported ‘paranormal activity’ after outdoor gym equipment started apparently moving by itself.

Officers in Kashiram Park in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, filmed the bizarre sight that confronted them on on June 11 as a shoulder press machine noisily moved up and down despite there being no one using it.

They soon discovered that rather than being the work of a phantom fitness freak, it was down to pranksters who had liberally lubricated the machine and set it in motion.

At the beginning of the clip, the equipment moves quickly and makes a banging noise as a crowded of uniformed officers look on and film. 

But the machine gradually loses momentum and gets quieter as the footage carries on.     

A local source said: ‘The mischievous act was down to a few miscreants who had applied grease to the moving part. 

‘With a light push, the machine was able to operate without supervision due to the greasy nature of it.’
