WEIRD THINGS EXPLAINED
Michael Shermer
Is this man really levitating? What are some logical explanations for this apparent defiance of gravity? No trick photography is involved. Submit a comment to answer.
WATCH DR. SHERMER’S ”WHY PEOPLE BELIEVE WEIRD THINGS” (and you’ll see why I was honored that he wrote the Foreword to my book)

I do believe in paranormal activity and the spiritual realm but reincarnation, however, is a little bit harder for me to believe. I also believe that people due tend to let their imaginations get the best of them and the mind can play tricks on you if you’re not careful.
Magnetic levitation. Magnets and magnetic fields defy gravity. Maglev trains right now can travel 361 mph without touching the ground. The Maglev technology has the potential to enable trains to travel 4000 mph in evacuated tubes.
Magnetic levitation is not supernatural, so it’s not paranormal. But this photo is not about magnets–I’m pretty sure I know how this is done and no magenets are involved…..
There is actually a seat attached to the pole or walking stick by his side. His pants are baggy enough to hide the seat that is supporting his weight. There is nothing amazing going on in that picture.
Spencer – are you stating for a fact that’s what’s happening, or are you offering it as a possibility?
Due To Gravity He Should Fall Over If There Was A Seat Under Him But I Believe Anything Is Possible For The Mind, Body, Soul If You Just Believe…
This is a common trick in dine in India… on top end of the stick, there’s a flat plank attached at right angles. This is hidden underneath his loose clothing.


i’ only have a comment about Virgin Mary and when people think they see it showed up on a glass or what so ever . i say we see what want to see this how we think . and your believes of this thing pushes you further and further till the point when you make of reflection or a shadow a picture for you to believe . it might looks like what we have in mind BUT ITS NOT REAL .
