The footage 1st emerged on-line a handful of days ago and has because gone viral on social media. A quantity of viewers have speculated that the footage shows an alien or some other mysterious creature – baseless theories that only gained traction when the video was picked up by many news outlets and even reached international media. UK-based news web site Ladbible described the figure as a “strange humanoid”, whilst Ekta Kapoor shared the video on Instagram and mentioned it was “scary”.
Over the last handful of days, the clip has been extensively circulated on social media and more than messaging platforms like WhatsApp, with claims that it was filmed in Jharkhand’s Hazaribagh. Some viewers even managed to spot a “UFO” in the clip and tagged NASA.

While the sight of a lanky figure walking down a dark road alone surely presents a strange spectacle, the truth is that there is nothing at all supernatural or otherworldly about the video.
Jan Doot News, a regional news channel, interviewed the two guys who filmed the video, and they confirmed that the figure is basically a lady walking naked at evening.
Deepak, one of the guys, mentioned he and his pal had been returning to Seraikela when they spotted the strange lady walking naked. While they had been initially scared by the sight and continued on their way, they returned a handful of minutes later to film the lady.
“It was a lady walking down the road without clothes… The clip circulating online is 30-second long, I have the full video of one and a half minutes,” mentioned Deepak in Hindi.
Alt News reached out to Deepak for more specifics and discovered that the video was not filmed in Hazaribagh, as has been extensively claimed on-line, but in Seraikela in Kharsawan district.
“We were returning to Seraikela from Chakradharpur after attending a funeral of a friend’s mother. We got scared when we first saw the woman and stopped at a shop near the highway. When a few others reached the spot, we asked if they too saw the woman. She was not a witch. She was a woman and this was also confirmed by other passers-by,” mentioned Deepak.
He added that the video was filmed on April 27.
It is not clear why the lady was walking unclothed. Seraikela sub-inspector Mohammad Noushad told Alt News that the matter is below investigation.
