Social media users have been left stunned after finding a ‘new way into Hogwarts’ – and it’s not via the famous platform nine-and-three-quarters.
Luis Chavez filmed the moment he happened upon what appears to be a ‘floating’ palm tree branch in the middle of a road.
Luis, a council member from Fresno, California, US, shared footage of the palm – which seems to be held up by heavy wind – and has gone viral on Instagram, garnering 16 million views.

Viewers likened the creepy clip to a Hogwarts broomstick from the Harry Potter franchise, cracking jokes that Luis has found a new route to the fictional school.
In the video, Luis then walks around the branch, to show it appears to not be attached or hanging off of anything or that there is no one holding it up.
He says: “I’ve seen some really creepy stuff.
“But nothing like this, there is a palm floating right in the middle of the air.
“It’s not attached to wires or anything like that, wow.”
The post was captioned: “I’ve been canvassing for a while now and have seen cows, horses, chickens, pigs, interesting people.. but I’ve never seen a wind vortex like this before.
It was quite interesting.
“You can hear the wind blowing against each side, I caught it on video and it’ll definitely be memorable, creepy, and memorable.
“If someone can explain it, I’m all ears.”
