Most ropes have a twist to them; sometimes it's obvious, sometimes not.
But when you hang a load on the rope, it untwists a bit, and that's why the scaff poles twist.
But when you let the load off, it untwists again and that happens when you lower the rope back. But you are less likely to notice that.
