Hanging a heavy bag...

I want to hang a heavy bag in the center of a room in my basement. I don't want to hang it from the ceiling and I don't want it on a stand. What ideas can you come up with, or solutions have you see for hanging a 150lb 6 foot muay thai bag? I'm thinking a diagonal beam from corner to corner... Maybe?
 
What about a weather balloon with the perfect amount of hydrogen in it?

What about using a real human instead of a human sized bag?

What about parking a crane outside and hanging a steel cable down through the middle of the building? 😉

Diagonal beams from which corners? Top corners?

Why not from the ceiling? Aren't the top corners, technically the ceiling too? If it is too weak, why not put in a joist spanning the ceiling or just reinforce the existing ceiling support?

Otherwise, it seems like you'd want something similar to a punching bag stand except beefier and deeper footprint to support the extra weight, for example:

I don't understand why using the same methods anyone else uses, won't work.

The reason no one replied to this thread is because there isn't an answer. He wants to hang a bag without hanging it.
 
^ Yeah but I forgot to mention levitation by drones or an electromagnetic field, or some kind of portal where the bag is suspended from the ceiling in an alternate universe.

I suppose you could run a beam corner to corner or any other direction (shortest best), with jack studs under each side, and keepers on the sides creating a pocket for the beam. That would separate vibrations and noise from the floor above . An I beam made from 2x4s may help side to side sway. The span would dictate the dimension of the beam.

Good call. It's completely undefendable.
