Yep...you read that right. My sister called me and told me that her MIL called her and told her about this weird thing that happened to her... She even sent her a picture. So...she calls me and asked me if my broom would do it... I said.. You're crazy. She told me to try it. So, I did........and here is my picture.
This broom is standing in front of my door - NOTHING holding it...There aren't any magnets.....no strings.... NOTHING..
I promise on my mom's grave.....

This is a regular O Cedar broom.

Mine stands up, too. I don't know what kind it is--it's black and yellow. I don't think its an O'Cedar.

I wonder what made someone try this to begin with.

That's what I was wondering too, because during an equinox you can get an egg to stand on end.

I just tried and I must have a stupid broom too. It just wants to fall over. Oh, well.
Actually, the bristles on mine are not stiff anymore and the metal handle is slightly bent, so there's no way to properly balance it. I might go out and buy a new broom tomorrow just so I can do this and freak out my kids.
So you're not from the South, that's okay, you got here as fast as you could.

I don't know which is funnier....the pic of your broom standing or the picture in my mind of Pcommers rushing to their broom closet, grabbing their broom and it falling over repeatedly laugh.gif !
It is strange and entertaining! And, furthermore, ghost or some paranormal something from a distant nether region? Yeah, I can deal with it if they can clean dirol.gif .

It is obviously under a spell. Maybe JMT can advise.

They are ET antennae; this is a trick to get everyone to stand them up so "other beings" can make the connection necessary to guide them in. Be prepared - UFO to be landing in Paulding County - ET is coming back!

Broom looked familiar. Thought my ex-wife may have abandoned her car there and was nearby. I think that is the model that she flies. She is crazy.gif

Makes me want to run to the store and put all the brooms out in the aisle.

Imagine how powerful your kids will think you are if they watch you tell your broom to "Stand!" and it does!!

Maybe the spirit of your Mom is holding it up and she's trying to tell you to either sweep your house clean and sweep out all the bad thoughts. LOL

My DW does this, especially when the weather starts to get cold. It warms it up for her fly to work. biggrin.gif
"It was supposed to have been a relaxing early retirement on the beach for Grey Colson. No city traffic, no more late shifts and no more lonely nights in a home that was a constant reminder of his late wife's suffering. A distraction of sorts. But distractions have their price and it was more than Colson was willing to pay........His daughter's life"

Your broom would be the Thunderbolt 2000. Quiddich season is about to begin at Hogwarts. Send an Owl to Harry Potter and see if he has lost his broom again.

Maybe mine is worn out. It didn't stand. Maybe it's b/c I live in South Paulding.

Mine was still standing when I got up this morning. I moved it to make coffee and stood it right back up. I saw a story online in Alabama where their broom stood up. They called paranormal and had big news stories. Ha ha...they're not special now....
