VIDEO: Creepy Video of Levitating Cars

This CCTV footage might be the creepiest thing you’ve seen in a while. The video shows a busy junction in China’s southern Hebei province. A minivan and other cars approaching a red light stop out of the blue, levitate for a few seconds and then crash on the ground. We don’t have details about the footage, but we do have some possible explanations.

1. The vehicles were lifted through air by a loose cable.

2. It was a movie set.

3. Powerful wind gust. (But that’s unlikely).

4. Powerful magnets. (But that’s pretty absurd).

What do you think happened? Can you come up with a reasonable explanation?

Here is some information on levitation that might help you form an opinion; provided by Wikipedia.

Levitation or transvection in the paranormal context is the rising of a human body and other objects into the air by mystical means. Some parapsychology and religious believers interpret alleged instances of levitation as the result of supernatural action of psychic power or spiritual energy. The scientific community states there is no evidence that levitation exists and alleged levitation events are explainable by natural causes (such as magic trickery, illusion, and hallucination).

Various religions have claimed examples of levitation amongst their followers. This is generally used either as a demonstration of the validity or power of the religion, or as evidence of the holiness or adherence to the religion of the particular levitator.

Many mediums have claimed to have levitated during séances, especially in the 19th century in Britain and America. Many have been shown to be frauds, using wires and stage magic tricks. Daniel Dunglas Home, a prolific and well-documented levitator of himself and other objects, was said by spiritualists to levitate outside of a window. Skeptics have disputed such claims. The researchers Joseph McCabe and Trevor H. Hall exposed the “levitation” of Home as nothing more than him moving across a connecting ledge between two iron balconies.

The levitation trick of the medium Jack Webber was exposed by the magician Julien Proskauer. According to Proskauer he would use a telescopic reaching rod attached to a trumpet to levitate objects in the séance room. The physicist Edmund Edward Fournier d’Albe investigated the medium Kathleen Goligher at many sittings and concluded that no paranormal phenomena such as levitation had occurred with Goligher and stated he had found evidence of fraud. D’Albe had claimed the ectoplasm substance in the photographs of Goligher from her séances were made from muslin.

A person photographed while bouncing may appear to be levitating. This optical illusion is used by religious groups and by spiritualist mediums, claiming that their meditation techniques allow them to levitate in the air. You can usually find telltale signs in the photography indicating that the subject was in the act of bouncing, like blurry body parts, a flailing scarf, hair being suspended in the air, etc. Those who practice transcendental meditation (which claims to be able to teach people how to levitate), when quizzed, generally admit they were not actually levitating but bouncing.
