Toddler pushed by ghost?

[johne1618]

The toddler in this video (0:00 to 0:08) seems to be pushed from behind by an invisible force.

The child's head seems to snap back at 0:03 as though he has been pushed from behind. It doesn't seem that the fall is due to his hands slipping on the floor - he falls over his hands first and then moves them afterwards.

Considering the light that appears between his legs (0:03) it seems that he was lifted up first before being thrown to the floor.

What's going on?

The significant over-exposure means someone (quite living) could've easily been behind the toddler without being shown in the footage.

Even though there's some over exposure behind the child I still think you would see someone in the video if they were there. The child looks around afterwards (0:05-0:08) but doesn't seem to see anyone. It actually looks like he was lifted up at 0:03. Someone would have to be leaning over him to do that so that they would be as visible as the child himself.

Not if it's just a nudge by a hand or an animal such as a smaller dog. Plus it could be a toddler's stumble/loss of balance too despite an unusually abrupt one. A ghost hypothesis is really far-fetched.

The article was pretty poor and devoted a lot of words to describe the mother's past paranormal experiences. Which all smells 'suspect' a hundred yards away.

Nothing impressive is happening in the footage. Once again.

But it looks like the child was physically lifted up at 0:03 (from the light appearing between his legs) before being thrown down. It's not a slight nudge.

Very small children don't have much neck strength, and there's nothing unusual about an infant's head bobbing around. This looks just like a kid who hasn't mastered crawling yet, and who attempts to lunge forward without figuring out that first he needs to move his hands forward too. I think HE is the one who "threw himself".

I agree with Ann K, that it's simply the kid falling fowards when trying to move.

The "light appearing between his legs" is due to the the camera being at a high angle, so the legs are not that visible when the kid pulls it's right leg forward into a bent position, so raising itself up onto it. When they push out with that leg, to move forwards, without moving an arm forward to brace against the change to their center of mass, relative to their supporting arms, they fall over.

Kids do this kind of thing everyday, and the only thing unusual about this case is that this poor kid's mishap has been caught on a spectacularly poor video recording, that makes what it's doing with it's legs hard to see.

The toddler in this video

it's not a toddler. it's an infant. he goes from knees on the ground, to a right side "planking" and fell over. it takes babies a few days to a couple weeks to learn to coordinate moving legs and hands.

Looks like they've tried to hop but lacks the coordination.

Seriously, an infant falling is not supernatural, every parent out here has dealt with this repeatedly. btw, infants have terrible coordination.
