MUSEUM bosses are spooked after time lapse video showed an ancient Egyptian statue turning in circles in a display case.

The 25cm relic of a man named Neb-Senu, dating back to 1800BC has been in the Manchester Museum for 80 years. It was found in a mummy's tomb and contains an inscription that asks for "bread, beer and beef." Over the past few months curators noticed the statue was often facing the wrong way. But they say no-one has access to the display case. So they set up a time lapse video. What they discovered is truly freaky. The statue is turning 180 degrees without anyone going near it. "I noticed one day that it had turned around. I thought it was strange because it is in a case and I am the only one who has a key, Manchester Museum curator Campbell Price told the Manchester Evening News. "I put it back but then the next day it had moved again. We set up a time-lapse video and, although the naked eye can't see it, you can clearly see it rotate on the film. The statuette is something that used to go in the tomb along with the mummy. "In Ancient Egypt they believed that if the mummy is destroyed then the statuette can act as an alternative vessel for the spirit. Maybe that is what is causing the movement." Other experts suggest the statue may be turning due to visitors footsteps. But the question then is - why this statue turns and the other statues stand still? What do you think?
