It's obviously vibrations but I get the impression she is serious in thinking its something else. Probably believes in ghosts and psychics too!

Egyptian relic curse solved by ITV's Mystery Map
Quote:
The mystery of why an ancient Egyptian relic in Manchester Museum appeared to spin around by itself has been solved by new ITV programme Mystery Map.
Mystery Map, which investigates myths and mysterious stories, enlisted the help of consultants 24 Acoustics who demonstrated that vibration from traffic and footfall on the road outside the museum was causing the statuette to move.
Vibration expert Steve Gosling undertook a 24-hour test by placing a specialist three-axis sensor under the wall-mounted cabinet containing the relic, to record any vibrations present.
Beginning the test at 6pm in the evening, Steve found there was a peak in vibration level which correlated with movement at this time. Overnight the vibrations stopped and the statue stopped rotating. Movement began again at 7am the following day - at the same time the vibrations also started again.

Did they really need to get acoustic experts in to tell them the bleeding obvious?
Reminds me how bad some tv programs are these day and the way they attempt to make drama out of nothing,
