10 Mysterious Moving Statues Science Can't Explain!

Mysterious Moving Statues Science Can't Explain! Here are some of the most mysterious statues in the world which were caught moving on camera! From a scary statue in Mexico that cries to a golden Buddha statue that moves around and emits light in a creepy yet amazing way that scientists can't explain!

We're familiar with the phrase "as still as a statue," but we may need to reexamine that saying because some statues aren't actually motionless. Statues are typically made of concrete, stone, or plastic, yet incredibly, many statues have been caught on camera moving—from a parade float statue that sways to one that cries real tears. I'm Charlie, and today we'll look at mysterious moving statues that science can't explain. Before we begin, subscribe and hit the notification bell!

This 2016 video from a church in Zaragoza, Mexico shows a Jesus statue whose eyes move. The cameraman showed the church staff, who called in investigators. They tried to make the statue move again but couldn't. However, analysis showed the footage wasn't faked—the man hadn't even transferred it to edit. Do you think this is a miracle, or freaky? It would unsettle me.

Ancient Egypt holds many mysteries, like how pyramids were built. But a small 10-inch statue at Manchester Museum surpasses them all. One night, surveillance cameras captured the statue slowly moving on its own, unnoticed by museum-goers. As the time-lapse shows, the 4,000 year-old statue of Neb-Senu subtly shifts. Perhaps an ancient curse animates it? It's sealed in thick glass, so no contraption moves it.

In Mexico, a 2016 Jesus parade float statue appeared to blink and move its head. This happened during a Catholic holiday procession, stunning onlookers who thought it a miracle or bad omen. Some called it an optical illusion, but it looks real to me. The lifelike motion is creepy—like the statue came alive!

In Malaysia, blinking, hand-waving Buddha statues were caught on camera at a Buddhist center, mystifying the hundred witnesses who'd come to pray, not see a miracle. The gold-plated metal statues somehow moved and glowed, without internal mechanisms. Again, skeptics blamed optical illusions, but I'm not convinced.

In 2016, New York hikers found a strange voodoo statue with nails and a noose in a cave fire. Likely leftover from a satanic ritual, the statue disturbed its finder by moving on its own and smelling bad. Perhaps it was cursed by its creator?

In Argentina in 2017, a family chapel's Virgin Mary statue wept red liquid from its eyes, prompting the owner to move it to a church so more could witness the miracle. The priest couldn't identify the liquid, but saw it as a sign from Mary.

A creepily blinking Snow White statue at a Mexican theme park terrified a videographer who fled after capturing its movement. Some say it has an animatronic mechanism, but the shoddily painted statue makes that seem unlikely. The video remains undebunked—it appears supernaturally animated!

An Indian spiritual leader named Sai Baba died in 1918 but is memorialized in statues like this one caught on CCTV moving its arm, seemingly to remove a decoration it disliked.

In 1985 Ireland, about 30 Virgin Mary statues in various counties suddenly began shifting on their own. The first, in Cork, was said to levitate and move around its garden, before protesters destroyed it.

In Mexico, a church's Jesus statue in a glass coffin nodded during Good Friday Mass, either agreeing with the service or creating a holiday miracle. Churchgoers have tried to interpret the nods ever since.

Another Mexican Virgin Mary statue weeps actual tear-like liquid from her eyes, sending the faithful into crying pilgrimages of healing. Some call her movements miraculous, others say she's possessed.
