POLTERGEIST


Do you know what is a ghost ? Do you know what is a spirit ? When you hear the word “ poltergeist,” what comes into your mind? Yes, the terms ghost and spirits are related to poltergeist. Are these things real? Do you believe that these things exist? Most people conclude that these supernatural things are only product of one’s naughty imagination. Even though these things sound so unexplainable, many people find these things very interesting.

What is a poltergeist by the way? Have you encountered such word? If yes, have you heard stories about it? As what I have research, “poltergeist” is a term used to describe a spirit or ghost that manifest itself by moving and influencing inanimate objects. Poltergeist is a mischievous spirit that makes noises unexplainable except by supernatural causes. The word poltergeist is a German term for noisy ghost. Reports of poltergeist activity typically feature heavily on raps, bumps thumps, knocks, footsteps and bed-shaking all without a discernible paint of origin or physical reason for occurrence. Many accounts also detail objects being thrown about the room, furniture being moved and even people being levitated. Though rare, a few poltergeist have been known to speak, including The Bell Witch in 1817 and Get the Talking Mongoose in 1931.

How can we explain the existence of a poltergeist? Do they really exist? Poltergeist phenomena are a focus of study within parapsychology. Parapsychologists define poltergeist activity as a type of uncontrolled psychokinesis.” Recurrent spontaneous psychokinesis is a phrase suggested by parapsychologist William G. Roll to denote poltergeist phenomena ( the earliest one details the raining of stones and bed shaking in Ancient Egypt) has left matter open for debate within the parapsychology community. Many researchers led to the hypothesis that the poltergeist effect “ is a form of pychokinesis generated by a living human mind. According to someresearches, the “ “poltergeist effect” is the outward manifestation of physcological trauma.

Poltergeist might simply exist, like the “elementals” described by occutists. Another version posits that poltergeist originate after a person dies in a powerful rage at the time of death. According to yet another opinion, ghosts and poltergeist are “recordings.” When there is a powerful emotion, sometimes at death and sometimes not, a recording is believed to be “embedded” in a place or; somehow in the “fabric of time itself.” This recording will continue to play over and over again until the energy ‘embedded disperses. However some poltergeist have the ability to articulate themselves and to have distinct personalities, which suggest some sort of self-awareness and intent. Practitioners of “astral projection” have reported the existence of unfriendly astral life forms, which are commonly called “ negs whom we might also identify with elementals). If they exist, these may well have the ability to affect the physical explanation such as static electricity, electromagnetic fields, ultra-and ultrasound and/or ionized air. Some scientist go as far as calling them pseudo-physcic phenomena and claim under some circumstances they are caused by obscure physical effects. The basic theory is that poltergeist movement are repulsive versions of casimir effect that can put pressures on objects.

Whatever are the reasons stated above, we can’t still conclude that these supernatural things really exist or not
