PP, thanks for posting that article and clip. I had heard about this situation from some friends of mine in Buenos Aires, where it was big news this last summer (note that this incident happened in Argentina). The video is odd as hell.

Np, David.

At first I wasn't impressed, and the swing looked like someone had just tied a string to it etc. After awhile it did get interesting. Plus scientists have reportedly looked into it and came up stumped. I wonder if there are any photos of any apparitions.

If anyone comes across anymore info. on this, or an explanation, please post. Thanks.

You watch it all?

Once it gets going the other two swings don't move much at all, just the middle one.

Once something starts swinging I don't think it takes much more energy to increase its speed. I wonder what is under the ground there...like a subway or something.

A engineering friend who saw the video said that it was possible that the swing hung correctly, dipped on one side maybe, to catch a breeze the others could not. If so, the natural action of the swing might increase with the speed of wind within the breeze. Seemed plausible.

Looking at the people in the background though there is no or little breeze.

I too thought of string.

Do you believe in the string theory
