A step-ladder appeared to walk away from handymen as they worked in a parking garage in India - but there's actually a simple reason why.<br /><br />The piece of equipment seemed to have a mind of its own as something sparked it into motion in the underground car park in the city of Hyderabad. <br /><br />It is likely the force of gravity place on the ladder where it was placed on a slope could actually be the cause of the movement. <br />They watched as the ladder slowly made its way across the concrete. <br /><br />The eight-foot ladder, which was captured moving on November 5 last year, shuffled from side-to-side as each leg jumped from the ground. <br />An explanation into this kind of phenomenon has been offered before, after a step ladder in Kerala made a similar motion when placed on a slope.<br /><br />Worried locals started to worship the ladder in an effort to appease what they thought was a wayward spirit in 2018.<br /><br />But one Reddit-user explained the ladder was actually moved by the gravitation pull working on it when it was placed on a slope and then gently nudged.<br />They penned: 'The ladder is on a floor that has an incline. Someone nudges the ladder so that it starts rocking.<br /><br />'The force of gravity working through the incline is just enough so the ladder keeps rocking but not so much that the rocking gets larger and the ladder falls over.<br /><br />'The structure and "spring" of the ladder balanced with the forces pulling it downwards.'<br /><br />Describing the video, a caption read: 'A step ladder "walks" on its own in a parking garage.' <br />One comment said: 'That ladder is off to find a union job.'<br /><br />While another added: 'Me: What are you talking about, I can clearly see a small child moving the ladder.<br /><br />'Person: But there is no child in the video.
