A "Moving" Monday Mystery...!

Did you ever walk into a room and swear that an object had somehow mysteriously moved on it's own from it's regular place? Spooky, right?

Now multiply that feeling many times over, as the owner of a business or museum. From Listverse here is a story about a statue that seems to have a mind of it's own.

The Spinning Relic



At the Manchester Museum, a 4,000-year-old Egyptian statue has frightened curators and observers alike for many years. The statue, known as Neb-Senu, is a 25-centimeter-tall (10 in) soul container that was made sometime around 1800 BC for a single man. The statue has reportedly frequently moved inside its glass case.

Despite some sensationalist stories about how the statue may be related to the “curse of the pharaohs” unleashed by Howard Carter, a hired team of experts apparently deduced that outside car traffic, along with foot traffic from visitors, explained why the statue moved so often. Still, many observers remain baffled that vibrations alone could cause an ancient stone relic to spin almost completely around.

I have watched the video several times and I'm convinced it is genuine. Strange, don't you think?

Coffee in the kitchen because it is HOT outside!

That's just crazy! Gives me the creeps just seeing the vid. I can't imagine seeing it in person.

Hey Linda...
It certainly is that.
Thanks for coming over today!


Hey Rob...
Not your common everyday mystery, that's for sure.
Thanks for the visit today!

Nothing else seems to move, does it? And does it stop when it's back is turned completely to the onlookers? Interesting!
Big hugs, Bubba. Good one!

May it is vibration from people passing through the door.

Hey Sis...
It's like the thing has a mind of it's own, ya know? Glad you liked it.
Thanks for stopping by today!


Hey Momlady...
I reckon it could be that. I believe that some of the experts suggested the same thing.
Thanks for coming over today!

Very interesting indeed. I think I kind of go with vibrations. But I believe someone else asked does it stay with it's back to the viewers or does it move back again?

Good one for something to talk about around the coffee this morning
