I am a natural sceptic, but I have to agree with Bill. As controversial as this may sound, I levitated when I was very young as well. You certainly don't have to believe me, and I will be the first one to admit I may be crazy, but I certainly had a memorable childhood!

As an infant, and toddler, my mother had to constantly put me back in my crib... seems my favorate place to catch some zzz's was on top of my bureau. Once I went out the open window and floated down to the ground outside, the levitating wasn't scary, but being outside alone at 4 years old was. Because the doors could only be locked or unlocked from the INSIDE, I had to knock on the front door to get let back in. I remember like it was yesterday how long it took for my feet to warm up after I got back into bed.

My dreamworld adventures were even more exciting.

Does anyone know if this has been conclusively shown to be a hoax? (Such as, maybe an eventual admission from the video maker?)

I still have the opinion (based on extensive roped climbing experience with harnesses) that the little girl does NOT seem to have been supported from any harness. However, I've read that the frame rate of the video seems to have been messed with, which may well mean something. All comments are most welcome!

Ignoring many other possibilities, I think it would be wonderful to be true.

A few good percentages, I trust the dog's reaction, but not necessarily.

I know someone who meditates standing barefoot on tiptoes (but at the very end of the toes) in a fantastic balance (almost 6 minutes) on the bare soil surface with grass, it seems impossible for "me".

The person weighs about 80 kg and has a height of 1.68, has never done ballet , but she manages to do that. I do not know how, but usually the truth seems to be unconventional by "tradition", whatever she does , however, cannot be called levitation.

Maybe a bit like this?

Ahaaa......... But what is in the bottom of the basket on the left hand side? If we could see into the basket, that would go a little further to accepting that what is presented is indeed what it seems.

Maybe it's about shoes or air or pressure, technique or just balance, or maybe just to encourage people ...who knows(?)
