A surveillance camera installed in an office building in Colombia captured (see video below) the alleged poltergeist phenomenon that scared the worker.

A mysterious incident occurred last week in the Colombian city of Medellin. That evening, a man named David Pineda stayed late at work and was the only person in the room.

At some point, his coffee mug rolled on the table by itself and fell to the floor. Pineda jumped up and looked at the fragments of the mug with bewilderment, and then took a mop and began to clean up.

At that moment, an empty chair standing at a distance turned itself. This was the last straw for Pineda. He took a picture of the chair on his phone, and then flew out of the office like a bullet.

"I tried to find a logical explanation, but after watching the video, goosebumps ran down my back," Pineda says, adding that he no longer wants to work late and stay in the office alone.

According to Pineda, their building, which is almost a hundred years old, can be inhabited by something otherworldly and many stories are connected with it.

He said that when his mug fell, at first he thought he had placed it too close to the edge of the table, but when the chair began to move by itself, he realized that something strange was happening here.

Insisting that he does not believe in ghosts, the young man admitted that this case "really scared him."

Skeptical netizens suggested that either Pineda was played like that by his colleague, or he arranged this prank himself.

On the other hand, Pineda said that he was not happy at all when the video of him hit the national news in his country, and stated that "Colombia's journalistic priorities scare me more than possible ghosts in the office."

Original news

A surveillance camera installed in an office building in Colombia captured (see video below) an alleged poltergeist phenomenon that frightened a worker.

A mysterious incident occurred last week in the Colombian city of Medellin. That evening, a man named David Pineda stayed up late at work and was the only person in the room.

At some point, his coffee mug rolled on its own across the table and fell to the floor. Pineda jumped up and looked at the fragments of the mug in bewilderment, and then took a mop and began to clean up.

At that moment, the empty chair, which was standing a little distance away, turned by itself. This was the last straw for Pineda. He took a picture of the chair with his phone and then stormed out of the office like a bullet.

“I was trying to find a logical explanation, but after watching the video, a chill ran down my spine,” says Pineda, adding that he no longer wants to work late and be alone in the office.

According to Pineda, their building, which is almost a hundred years old, may be inhabited by something otherworldly and many stories are associated with it.

He said that when his mug fell, he at first thought that he himself had put it too close to the edge of the table, but when the chair began to move on its own, he realized that something strange was going on here.

Insisting that he did not believe in ghosts, the young man admitted that this incident “really scared” him.

Skeptical netizens suggested that either Pineda had been played by his colleague in this way, or that he himself had set up this prank.

On the other hand, Pineda said that he was not at all happy when the video of him made the national news in his country, and stated that “Colombia’s journalistic priorities scare me more than possible ghosts in the office.”

Deliberate falsification

This version includes any falsifications that imitate unexplained phenomena both from the outside: practical jokes, flash mobs, fake news, witness fraud, staging, etc.

There are many ways to make something similar to a ghost or a flying saucer from improvised materials, without using video and photomontage.

Many homemade things made for the sake of a joke, a practical joke or a direct imitation of a mystical being or event can be taken as unexplained not only in photos and videos, but also in reality.
