Honestly, at this point, 2020 doesn’t surprise me anymore. Even if there were to be a zombie attack or if we were to wake up in the middle of the night to some paranormal activity, we’d sportingly accept it!
Speaking of paranormal activity, a video of a swing at a park in Jhansi swinging on its own went viral on social media recently and as it was expected, people speculated that it was a ghost!
Here’s a video of the swing mysteriously swinging on its own. The Twitter user who posted it writes that people are forbidden to enter the park post 7 PM. Have a look:

The video was shared by a lot of people online and while some panicked, others asked 2020 to stop doing its thing.
As the video went viral and people raised genuine concerns, UP Police took to Twitter to reveal that a “mischievous person” had made the video and there was nothing to worry about.

Later, Jhansi Police too tweeted clarify that the swing moved on its own for a few seconds because it was excessively greased and that the swing being haunted by a ghost was a rumour.
