POLTERGEISTS
Poltergeist cases have been
around for centuries. Poltergeist has been defined as a German word
meaning “noisy ghost” but a literal translation is made up of the
two German words poltern which means “to knock” and geist which
means “spirit”. Poltergeist cases are defined by the sorts of
activity reported. Things such as objects being thrown across a room,
heavy furniture being slid across the floor, people being thrown out
of bed and scratched, and pennies raining from the ceiling that
materialize from thin air are examples of activity that occur. Unlike
what Hollywood would have you believe, poltergeist cases are NOT
caused by demonic spirits, in fact some believe they aren’t
technically hauntings at all.
Today it is believed that
poltergeist cases are caused by something called a human agent. The
human agents were experiencing intense repressed anger, stress or
hostility as well as sexual tension. Most human agents were girls
going through puberty, although cases involving males and older women
have also been recorded. The human agent is unaware that they are
causing the activity and can even be adversely affected by it.
However, many times the activity is directed towards another
individual or family member living in the same house and the human
agent is happy, inwardly or outwardly, that the person is having
these things happen to them. Generally, the human agent can be
identified simply by making note who is present when activity occurs
and using a process of elimination. Once the human agent is
identified and made aware that they may be the cause of the activity,
usually events cease shortly thereafter. One of the most famous and
highly documented poltergeist cases is the Enfield poltergeist case.

This
belief isn't held by all however. Many investigators (including
myself) believe most case of poltergeist activity are demonically
caused. Unless your house is infested by many spirits feeding off of
each other's energy... the only spiritual being that has the ability
to move intensely heavy objects such as a refrigerator, or make
objects manifest from no where, take objects and make them
disappear... would be a demon.
Demons
are master manipulators and liars. They will pose as a little child
seeking attention, or a mischievous imp. Playing practical jokes,
making it appear that someone in the residence is the human agent to
isolate that person and turn the rest of the house against them. If
you find poltergeist activity happening in your home – I would
contact a priest for an exorcism of the house. But hey, that's just
me.
