COPS were left baffled as two "ghosts" broke a sweat in an outdoor gym in India.
The officers stood and watched in awe as the equipment began to mysteriously move unaided.
One of the giggling officers took out his phone and filmed the strange night time sighting in Kanshiram Park in the city of Jhansi in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
The spooky clip was shared on Twitter by police spokesperson Rahul Srivastav where it has been viewed 185,000 times.
In the caption, Srivastav wrote: “Fitness freak ghost?"
In the video, three officers are seen standing next to an exercise machine in the park that is apparently being operated by at least one fitness-conscious ghost.
But not everyone saw the funny side, with some taking to social media to slam the suggestions that the fitness kit was actually being controlled by supernatural forces.
FITNESS FREAK
Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi said: “This video going viral from Kanshiram Park, the truth is only this - It keeps moving for some time on its own if you set it in motion.
“You can't say there is a ghost. This is just a prank someone is playing to bring bad name to the park.
"People are even saying that because the park is named after Kashiram maybe it is his ghost who is doing that. This is all false. Don't spread such rumours.”

Local police also rushed to quash the paranormal rumours pointing out that it was just a prank by someone.
Officers on the scene said there had been an excessive amount of grease applied to the machine that, once set in motion, kept it moving for a short period of time.
