Escalaphobia is a common syndrome in many people, who are afraid of climbing the escalator. Recently, a video has gone viral where a woman seems to be having this phobia. She is seen struggling to ride the escalator in a mall. She jumps on it out of fear at first. Then she sits on the stairs of the escalator and holds the handle tightly, refusing to let go. The middle aged woman, who is wearing a salwar kameez, looks visibly frightened. She keeps looking down and up, and seems to be in a panicky and anxious state of mind. Finally, when the escalator reached down, she somehow landed outside by gliding past the floor. She looks relieved after getting down from the escalator.
This video has been shared on Instagram, with the caption, “What Just Happened”. Watching the video, many users believed she made it for entertainment purposes.
