In MR’s case fake or not, it would be a waste of time talking to the confessed mystic, open to believe what you see then move on to look at something else before your brain checks-in.The internet is rife with these kinds of fake videos. They're privately made and uploaded to private social media, just like any other bid for likes.
I didn’t really bother to look over MR’s clip, but it was MR’s description " Icicle defies gravity", which sent me looking for something I knew that appears to fit that description.
Ice Spikes. This is the best (prettiest ) one I’ve seen on the web so far:

Both quote and picture from:Ice spikes form as a result of the way water freezes, from the outside in.As the ‘skin’ of ice thickens, if a weakness or hole appears in the ice skin, the liquid water gets squeezed up through the hole.The water that is squeezed out then forms the beginning of the spike and the process continues until the tip of the spike freezes.For an ice spike to form, the air conditions need to be just right. It can’t be too cold or the water freezes too quickly, and a little breeze (but not too windy) helps the process.

Ps MR’s link is now showing something different. ( For me anyway).
