About Poltergeists

Caused by physical forces
Some scientists propose that all poltergeist activity that they
cannot trace to fraud has an explained physical explanation such
as static electricity, electromagnetic fields, ultra- and infra sound
and/or ionized air. In some cases such as the Rosenheim
poltergeist case, the physicist F. Karger from the
Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik and G. Zicha from the
Technical University of Munich found none of these effects
present, and psi proponents claim that no evidence of fraud was
ever found, even after a sustained investigation from the police
force and CID.

William Roll, Hans Bender and Harry Price are perhaps three of
the most famous poltergeist investigators in the annals of
parapsychology. Harry Price investigated Borley Rectory which is
widely regarded as "the most haunted house in England."

In the Rosenheim case, Dr. Friedbert Karger was one of two
physicists from the Max Planck Institute who helped to investigate
perhaps the most validated poltergeist case in recorded history.
A 19 year old secretary in a law firm in Rosenheim, a small town
in southern Germany, was seemingly the unwitting cause of
much chaos in the firm, including disruption of electricity and
telephone lines, the rotation of a picture and swinging lamps
which were captured on video (which was one of the first times
any poltergeist activity has been captured on film) and strange
sounds that sounded electrical in origin were recorded. Fraud
was never proven despite intensive investigation by the
physicists, journalists and the police. The effects moved with the
young woman when she changed jobs until they finally faded out,
and Friedbert Karger's whole perspective on physics changed.
'These experiments were really a challenge to physics,' Karger
says today. 'What we saw in the Rosenheim case could be 100
per cent shown not to be explainable by known physics.' [1]. The
phenomena were witnessed by Hans Bender, the police force,
the CID, reporters, and the physicists. The claims were aired in a
documentary in 1975 in a series called "Leap in the Dark".


Famous poltergeist infestations
Although poltergeist stories date back to the first century, most
evidence to support the existence of poltergeists is anecdotal.
Indeed, many of the stories below have several versions and/or
inconsistencies; however there are a few that do not.

An "evil spirit" threw stones and made the walls shake in a small
farmhouse, this was the first recorded poltergeist case. (858)

Demon drummer of Tedworth (1661)

The "Wizard", Livingston, West Virginia (1797)

The Bell Witch (1817)

The Haunting of The Fox sisters (1848) - arguably one of the
most famous, as it started the Spiritualism movement.

Hopfgarten near Weimar (1921)

Eleonore Zugun - The 'Poltergeist Girl' (1926)

The Borley Rectory phenomena (1929)

The Rosenheim Poltergeist (1967) [2] (German, but most
extensive)

The Enfield Poltergeist (1977)

The Mackenzie Poltergeist (fairly recent) - Famed for haunting

Greyfriars church yard, Edinburgh, UK

The Canneto di Caronia fires poltergeist (fairly recent (2004 -
2005)) - Famed for defying all attempts at a scientific
explanation, Sicily, Italy [5].

The Entity Case allegedly involved a single mother of three
named Carla Moran who was being repeatedly raped by an
invisible entity and her two helpers over the course of several
years.

The case of Tina Resch, widely reported in the media in 1984

A recent case in Barnsley near Sheffield in England, where
poltergeist effects were witnessed by the police force

Although some parapsychologists suggest that poltergeists could
be a form of recurrent PK, there is very little evidence for PK
recorded on film or witnessed by objective parties. There are
famous poltergeist cases where the activity was seen by
objective parties and even skeptics however.



The information on Poltergeists is unending.  We have just
touched on the phenomena.  If your interest is peaked we
suggest you find more information online about the mentioned
occurrences and more.
