Gujarat Village's 'Haunted' Well Water Moves On Its Own Again
A well is a deep hole in the ground where people get water.
In a village called Virparda in Gujarat, India, people noticed something strange: the water in their well started moving all by itself.
It happened around 3:00 in the afternoon on a Thursday.
A similar thing had happened two days earlier.
The water stopped moving for a little while, then started moving again later that day.
Lots of villagers came to watch the strange water.
Water moving with no one touching it made everyone curious.
Nobody knows for sure why it happens.
Some people think the ground under the well might be shaky, because that area has had earthquakes before.
But experts have not given an official answer yet.
Water in a well in Virparda village, Morbi taluka, Gujarat, was seen moving on its own again on Thursday afternoon.
The unusual activity resumed at around 3:00 pm, after a similar incident had been observed two days earlier.
The movement gradually stopped by Thursday afternoon before starting again later in the day.
The phenomenon attracted a large number of villagers who gathered near the well to watch it.
The cause remains unknown; some residents suspect the region's seismic nature, but authorities have not issued an official explanation.
