CCTV footage appears to show the toy moving by itself in a shop in Barnsley, with a child's voice singing a nursery rhyme
EERIE video footage appears to show the moment a child's rocking horse moves on its own before flying off a shelf - as a "ghostly" voice sings a nursery rhyme.
A security camera filmed the spooky goings-on after an antiques shop closed for the night in Barnsley, South Yorks.
Owner Daniel Parker, 45, found the 1960s toy on the floor and rewound the CCTV to see what happened.
He was freaked out by what he saw - and reckons the ghosts of children must have been riding the £100 horse in his shop.
Daniel said: "It just starts slowly rocking – just stopping and starting and then it flips off, as if someone is getting off the toy.
"The thing is, I've tried recreating the movement. I've tried moving the toy backwards and forwards in the way that it does on film, but it's just impossible to recreate it.
"That movement just looks like it would have to be somebody on it.
"It was just completely bizarre – and I'm a sceptic.”
And he said a version of Incy Wincy Spider sung by a young girl can be heard on the video - with the words changed to "Incy Wincy lady climbed up the water spout".
Daniel says it is just the latest of a chain of spooky events in his shop, on the site of an 18th century mill.
He said: "We had another incident that was quite popular locally. We had a cabinet just explode without explanation. We also had some pictures move on the walls”.
And he claims a child's ghost seemed to reach out to grab his daughter on one occasion.
Daniel said: "When my daughter Kacey was about 11, she was having a wander round the shop basement and she just started screaming.
"I said 'what's up, what's up?' and she said, 'an arm reached out to grab me'.
“About 85 per cent of people who speculate say it's probably the ghosts of children.
"Some have said it's a poltergeist but it can't be because it's not hurt anybody.”
Last week we told how pop star MeLo Lv was photobombed by what fans believe was a black-eyed ghost child as she took a selfie at a pool party.
In June we revealed CCTV of the spooky moment a "ghost" appeared in the mirror behind a woman in a dance studio.
