Poltergeists we've all seen the movie, but is it real?

Question

Are they real? What do you think? Have any of you experienced them?

Answer 1

These are the major theories for poltergeist phenomena.

***Poltergeist activity originates with agents

Poltergeist activity tends to occur around a single person called an agent or a focus. Foci are often, but not limited to, pubescent children. Almost seventy years of research by the Rhine Research Center in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, has led to the hypothesis among parapsychologists that the "poltergeist effect" is a form of psychokinesis generated by a living human mind (that of the agent). According to researchers at the Rhine Center, the "poltergeist effect" is the outward manifestation of psychological trauma.

**Separate existences

Poltergeists might simply exist, like the "elementals" described by occultists.

Another version posits that poltergeists originate after a person dies in a powerful rage at the time of death. According to yet another opinion, ghosts and poltergeists 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 poltergeists have had the ability to articulate themselves and to have distinct personalities, which suggests some sort of self-awareness and intent. Practioners of astral projection have reported the existence of unfriendly astral life forms, which Robert Bruce called "negs" (whom we might also identify with elementals). If they exist, these may well have the ability to affect the physical world.



**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 infrasound and/or ionised 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 neither 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, though criminologist Herbert Schäfer quotes an unnamed detective watching the agent pushing a lamp when she thought nobody was looking, however if this is true or not police officers did sign statements that they had witnessed the phenomena. John Hutchinson has claimed that he has created poltergeist effects in the lab. Also worth noting is that some scientists now propose that poltergeists and ball lightning may be linked phenomena. Some scientists go as far as calling them pseudo-psychic phenomena and claim that under some circumstances they are caused by obscure physical effects.

Answer 2

Yes. I've come to my own conclusion that hauntings (long-term) and poltergeists (short) tend to run in families. Everyone in my dad's side treats it as normal. Noone on my mother's ever had anything happen. When I was younger I came home once (everyone else was on vacation) to find my bedroom door shut and locked. The house was locked, and nothing was stolen. But my entire room was destroyed. The sheets and blankets had been twisted together and rolled up on the floor like a snake. Books and papers were in tatters and all over the room. Every drawer was open, even all my little jewelry box drawers, and my closet was wide open and stuff was knocked off the top shelf. My family's experienced pictures neatly rearranged, old-days objects appearing on tables, footsteps coming up the front porch, the front door opening, and unknown shoes sitting by the door when they go to see who's there. A few years ago I moved into a house that had 6 slide-locks and chain locks on the inside of the bathroom door. I asked the neighbors about it and they said the house was haunted. I laughed. But every time I took a shower a man would begin talking and I would talk back, thinking my husband had come in.(I didn't use the locks) But when I peeked around the curtain to see why he didn't respond, noone was there. The hallway light would flip (I heard the switch click) on and off, slow and then fast. I would scream at my husband to stop it and he would scream back "I'm NOT doing anything!" I don't really know how far it can go but have found the thing that works best is to get annoyed, not scared. Sometimes I've yelled "Enough, already! I know you're around! Don't bother me right now!" It goes away for awhile. They seem to just want a reaction.

Answer 3

Absolutely. Poltergeists are manifestations of untamed psychic ability. They generally appear in households that have at least one adolescent.

My daughter showed signs of psychic ability at a very young age. Unfortunately, they also made her unable to function in society and it was necessary to get her psychological counseling.

I'm expecting her stifled ability to cause unexplainable events in the future.

Answer 4

Its very interesting and yes I believe its real.

Answer 5

Sure its real, but it isn't what you think it is. All it is is a manifestation of your unresolved anger and fear. If you don't want to deal with it then let go of your grudges and get over your fear.

Answer 6

Yes . It is real . I think it is very wonderful feature . I don't have any experiences on this .

Answer 7
