  We experimentally demonstrate that Majorana-like bound states (MLBSs) can
occur in quasi-one-dimensional metamaterials, analogous to Majorana zero modes
(MZM) in the Kitaev chain. In a mechanical spinner ladder system, we observe a
topological phase transition and spectral-gap-protected edge MLBSs. We
characterize the decaying and oscillatory nature of these MLBS pairs and their
phase-dependent hybridization. It is shown that the hybridization can be tuned
to yield the analogue of parity switching in MZMs, a key element of topological
qubits. We find strong agreements with theory.
