Ancient Egyptian Statue Apparently Rotating on Its Own

From independent.co.uk (June 23):

Bosses at Manchester Museum have been left puzzled by the mystery of an ancient Egyptian statuette which - a video has revealed - seems to turn itself around 180 degrees in its display case.

The 10-inch tall statue of Neb-Sanu, which dates back to 1800 BC, was found in a mummy’s tomb and has been at the Museum for eighty years.

And now a time-lapse video clearly shows it turning on its axis during the day, apparently of its own volition. During the night, however, it remains still.

Campbell Price, an Egyptologist at the museum, suggests the museum may have been struck by ancient curse. [read more]

Spooky. I don’t know about a curse causing this rotation but something is causing the statue to move. Maybe, get an infrared camera or even an ultraviolet camera (I’ve been watching too many Ghost Hunter episodes. Ha!) to maybe find out what’s causing the mysterious movement. Even use a portable EMF meter to pick up any electromagnetic fields on the statue. This would be a interesting case for the Ghost Hunters International (GHI) crew.

I’m not so sure about the physics professor’s “differential friction” explanation. If vibrations caused the Neb-Sanu statue to move wouldn’t the same vibrations cause the statue next to it to move too? One way to test that theory is to put a piece of cardboard or paper between the glass and the bottom of the statue and see if it still moves. Or better yet, put a device that measures vibrations next to the statue. GHI could do these experiments. Also, usually vibrations wouldn’t cause the statue to move in a nearly perfect circle and only in the daytime.

I am thinking either a mischievous demon is causing this motion or a really strong spirit (of the mummy?) that has to rest during the night. Hey, rotating statues takes a lot of energy for a spirit. You just never know.

Now, if the statue levitates (that would be great to get on video!) that definitely would be paranormal.
