A video showing hundreds of sheep marching in a circle has been hailed as a ‘sign of the apocalypse – as the huge herd stomped together for ten days straight without a break.
A huge flock of sheep have reportedly been seen marching in a circle for ten straight days and some are calling it a ‘sign of the apocalypse ‘. The huge herd have allegedly been walking in a clockwise direction en masse and without guidance, creating a perfect circle in the middle where not a single sheep has stepped.
The unusual video was filmed in the city of Baotou in Mongolia on November 4, and now some have claimed the odd occurrence could be of the occult – or maybe even a sign of the end of the world. After the video was shared on Twitter, many viewers were left confused and began commenting as they tried to understand what was happening in the clip.
Twitter user Billy shared the video, where he claimed: “A flock of Sheep in Inner Mongolia have been walking in a circle for over 10 days straight and no one knows why.”
He then posted another tweet, which asked: “Sign Of The Apocalypse?”.
It has been reported that the owner of the sheep, a Ms Miao, had no idea why her flock had started marching in a circle. She shared CCTV footage of the sheep which was later posted on Twitter and attracted thousands of comments.
One viewer said: “Repent oh ye sinners for the hour of judgement is at hand.”
And another wrote: “Be prepared for the return of Christ as your days are numbered. Do not ignore the signs – science is not real.”
But others tried to understand the phenomenon, as one wrote: “I wonder if it is because the wind is still. Humans have been less active, consistent movements create natural energy which is the creation of weather patterns. ‘Rain dance’, the native tribes called it.
“They can communicate it to other humans. Animals do it through intuition.”
A fourth user added: “Actually, this is normal. Basically, when one sheep gets infected, the whole flock get worried and start to panic. This causes the flock of sheep to follow the one who has been infected.”
Another user joked: “I’d be more concerned if they were walking in a triangle.”
