FULL TITLE: Creepy moment 'haunted puppet' said to have choked its previous owner starts moving on its own inside a sealed glass container in the middle of the night

A creepy puppet said to have choked its former owner has been filmed moving inside a sealed glass container in the dead of night.

Paranormal Investigator Jayne Harris, 32, from Stourbridge, West Midlands, recorded the puppet every night for three months - after its previous owner claimed it tried to choke him to death.

And last month she was left dumbfounded, when her cameras caught the chilling moment the wooden doll appears to come to life.

They just happened to have a camera on and facing it when it moves. right.

According to the article, it looks like they've had a camera on it for 3 months straight. This was the first movement.

No. It’s from a fairly famous British horror move called “Dead of Night”. The man is Michael Redgrave (father of Lynn and Vanessa).

If it had stood up, I would have peed myself. Instead, the “operating cross” fell over on its own, which could have happened naturally. Nothing impressive to me.

You might think I am crazy but I do believe in ghosts. What I don’t believe is that this woman has captured evidence of a spirit. I think she caught evidence of gravity. Issac Newton will be thrilled though!

I am a skeptic, too.

Cheating and getting this from Wikipedia (just don’t tell my students LOL)

Jeremy Bentham (15 February [O.S. 4 February] 1748 – 6 June 1832) was a British philosopher, jurist, and social reformer. He is regarded as the founder of modern utilitarianism.

On 8 June 1832, two days after his death, invitations were distributed to a select group of friends, and on the following day at 3 p.m., Southwood Smith delivered a lengthy oration over Bentham’s remains in the Webb Street School of Anatomy & Medicine in Southwark, London.

Afterward, the skeleton and head were preserved and stored in a wooden cabinet called the “Auto-icon”, with the skeleton padded out with hay and dressed in Bentham’s clothes.

Originally kept by his disciple Thomas Southwood Smith, it was acquired by University College London in 1850. It is normally kept on public display at the end of the South Cloisters in the main building of the college; however, for the 100th and 150th anniversaries of the college, and in 2013, it was brought to the meeting of the College Council, where it was listed as “present but not voting”.

Bentham had intended the Auto-icon to incorporate his actual head, mummified to resemble its appearance in life. However, Southwood Smith’s experimental efforts at mummification, based on practices of the indigenous people of New Zealand and involving placing the head under an air pump over sulphuric acid and simply drawing off the fluids, although technically successful, left the head looking distastefully macabre, with dried and darkened skin stretched tautly over the skull.

The Auto-icon was therefore given a wax head, fitted with some of Bentham’s own hair. The real head was displayed in the same case as the Auto-icon for many years, but became the target of repeated student pranks. It is now locked away securely.

Who sits through 2,160 hours of video of a puppet in a glass case watching for some unexpected? Grass growing is more interesting. You cannot say they were using a motion detection video camera because it started before the motion began! I smell very smelly rotten fishies.
