Claim: Visuals depicting a paranormal activity at the Jharkhand High Court, wherein a step ladder moves on its own.
Fact-check: Video of a self-moving step ladder misinterpreted as paranormal activity at the Jharkhand High Court - FACTLY
Verdict: media reports have confirmed that this incident did not occur at the jharkhand high court. though we were unable to trace the location of the incident, the phenomenon of a step ladder appearing to move independently is not uncommon, as numerous demonstrations exist. placing the ladder on a slope and giving it a gentle push can induce a rocking motion reminiscent of passive dynamic walkers' pendulum-like movement. this rocking action, coupled with the slope, leads to a gradual descent as potential energy converts to kinetic energy. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
