A strange video circulating online appears to show a man being violently attacked by an unseen force, that some suspect is a ghost, during a visit to the gym. The peculiar piece of footage (which can be seen below) was posted to TikTok last week and, since that time, has amassed a jaw-dropping 11 million views. Alas, the circumstances behind the eerie scene are unknown, as is often the case with viral paranormal videos. Be that as it may, its understandable why the footage has gone viral given the wild scene purportedly caught on film.
In the video, which appears to have originally been recorded by a security camera back in June, a man can be seen entering a gym alone and preparing to workout. In the background, some ropes inexplicably sway, though that seems to go unnoticed by the man as he stretches. When he ventures over to some weights, however, he sees a medicine ball mysteriously rolls away from him. Appearing uneasy about what he just saw, the man goes over to his bag and decides to give up on the workout.
Alas, his escape is thwarted when he is suddenly thrown to the floor and is seemingly dragged around for a bit before regaining his footage and then running out of the room. As one might imagine, many viewers have suggested that the spooky scene is some kind of spectral attack by a sinister spirit. That said, given the nature of TikTok, where one hopes that their video will go viral, the footage being a clever hoax certainly cannot be ruled out.
