Can Someone Out There Please Explain What I Saw?

Question

I don't know where to begin... I'm a very skeptical person and I don't believe in anything unless I see it.

The other night I was at my friend's apartment and something odd happened. I had a can of Red Bull and when I finished with it I put it down on the table. The table has wooden edges with glass in the middle. I didn't see it first but a few minutes after I put it down, my friend shouts "Look!" and I see the Red Bull can gliding across the table. There was a glass also on the table and the Red Bull can actually moved around the glass and stopped right and the edge.

i have tried thinking about every possible explanation: the windows were closed and there was no wind, there was nothing magnetic around and nothing possibly could have moved the empty can.

I just don't know what to think and I am the last person who would believe this if someone told it to me. Does anyone have any ideas?

Answer 1

Other than red bull giving you wings,if you left some in the can it could have started to take off. Just kidding around man,it could have been something paranormal if you have debunked everything logically possible and it wasn't a prank.Then it may be a spirit trying to communicate,i will tell you that it is an intelligent spirit because it actually moved something.But to put your worries away i would contact a professional group,most charge nothing,and just have them see it may make you feel better,i know you think your crazy,most of my investigations are done because people think they are going crazy

Answer 2

IMO, if the redbull was cool, after putting it on the table and warming up a bit, there was a bit of water under it. Just put cool glass on the table and you will see what happens.

Therefore the table became a bit slippery, and the can moved around.

Answer 3

It's very common for a can to slide across a table, especially if it's slick, glass, or has a damp spot.  I don't think this is anything out of the ordinary.

Answer 4

the can probably was cold and perspired and made a damp spot for it to slip and slide on the glass. but if it isn't this than of course i would have to say it is something paranormal. =)

Answer 5

The resident house spirit was pissed that the can was empty...Nothing to worry about (although I'd leave a few Red Bulls lying around the house just to make it happy)...

Answer 6

Was the can cold?  Was it empty?

Condensation could have gotten under the can lifting it off the table, the can then could have slid, condesation and all, to the lowest part of the table.  In essence the can could have been sitting in a puddle of water that was running accross the table.  When it hit the glass the surface tension of the water may have touched the glass first sliding it around the glass and ending at the edge of the glass on the other side.  When it hit the wood, it would have dissipated the surface tension and stopped.  Was the glass under the can wet?

Answer 7

I think you need to lay it down on the red bull a bit...

Answer 8

condensation will do this also.

Answer 9

There was probably a thin film of fluid that allowed the can to "float" across it in the direction dictated by gravity.

Answer 10

You got me, maybe it was a ghost.  All I can say is don't eat from a Red Bull can again.
