The word Poltergeist comes from the German word, Noisy Ghost. This is indeed an apt way of describing a Poltergeist, because they are very noisy, disruptive and generally a very frightening entity. Poltergeists are among the most difficult of spirits, you may ever encounter. Simply because the way they draw attention to themselves, is by being loud and for want of a better word, in your face. Fortunately Poltergeist activity is rather rare, but when it happens it is very dramatic indeed. There is a popular misconception with a Poltergeist spirit; in that most people seem to think that they are a different sort of spirit, almost a different race, or breed of ghost. This is not the case at all; in fact any spirit could develop into what we recognise as a Poltergeist. Yes that's right, granny could be a Poltergeist, simply because she wants to get your attention so may throw something, or perhaps move objects. Which to us seems very extreme activity and we claim to have a poltergeist haunting, but it's really granny, or Aunt May, trying to say hello or get our attention.

Of course this isn't always the case and in some cases the Poltergeist wishes you harm and can and will, under rare circumstances hurt you, or at the very least wish you harm. There is a very interesting case that was investigated some thirty years ago, in the mid to late seventies, where the Poltergeist haunting was a very real problem. The case was called the Enfield Hauntings and took place in the UK. It involved a young family and centered around one particular girl in the family. She was terrorised by the spirit of an old man, who used to live in the home. The sort of activity involved loud noises, scratching, bite marks, levitation and other generally violent behaviour. I have included the link in this newsletter (see above), to a documentary of this case. It's a really interesting case and one that I believe, to be a true poltergeist event.

In the Enfield case, it was theorized as with many events, that telekinesis may have been involved. It is thought by some, that the youngest girl where most of the activity was centered around was through her own energy, or overabundance of her energy, that was causing these events to happen. I believe this is indeed possible. If during puberty in particular there develops an overabundance, of physical and psychic energy, events that seem sinister may occur. In particular the violent and uncontrolled movement of objects and the loud bangs, so often associated with a Poltergeist haunting. In any investigation these things need to be ruled out, so that the reason for Poltergeist activity can be established. This is a key element in investigating a poltergeist event, as it's critical to understand why a spirit is reacting in a violent and unpredictable manner.

So why do spirits become Poltergeists, the reasons are many and varied, however in my experience the main reason seems to be to cause fear and disquiet. By causing fear the spirit creates energy and it is this very energy, that helps the spirit manifest in the violent ways that Poltergeist often do. Often the spirits that become Poltergeists will not accept their death. And as in the case I spoke of earlier, the Enfield Hauntings, the spirit was upset that there were others in his home and didn't understand why they were there, and why they wouldn't listen to him, so he manifested violent behaviour. I think this violent behaviour, must reflect the sort of personality traits this man may have had in life. This is not always the case with poltergeists however.

Several years ago, I responded to a frantic and very urgent call out to a home, not far from where I was living at the time. These sorts of call outs, all be it a little bit like GHOST BUSTERS, weren't that uncommon and still aren't. I get many requests during my year to attend hauntings. On this particular occasion, I responded to this call for help and was greeted by a scene straight out of a Hollywood block buster. In the home, draws had been thrown around and kitchen utensils were strewn everywhere. The gentleman, who lived in the home, was understandably shaken up and had taken a few medicinal shots of brandy. I would have been a little skeptical that we were dealing with a poltergeist, if I hadn't had several objects thrown to the floor in front of me and a door open and close very violently. This didn't feel to me however, to be a nasty spirit and after a little while, I managed to open up a communication with him. It turned out to be an old friend, of the man who owned the house and he had desperately been trying to help him through some issues, surrounding him and his friend's death many years ago. Simply because he wouldn't listen and his life was self-destructing, the spirit felt it was necessary to get his attention, simply out of frustration. Once this was revealed and the reasons were made clear, the events stopped.

Clearly this spirit intended no real harm and in life, he was described to me as a fun loving and gentle soul. So his motivation for this violent and aggressive display was simply, to get his friends attention nothing more.

Poltergeists as I have stated earlier are very difficult to control and understand, simply because there motivation for their violent activity, can be so varied and different. Because of this, their behaviour is unpredictable. Although true Poltergeist activity is rare, it does happen and if experienced, is a frightening and challenging thing to witness, even for a seasoned ghost whisperer like myself. It is important however, should you experience this type of activity, to get help as soon as possible. Poltergeists tend to get stronger and activity can become more erratic and difficult to contain, the longer it's left. Generally a true Poltergeist event can be contained and controlled and are generally harmless, however, meant to cause disruption and fear. Take this away and a Poltergeist can be rendered harmless. Should you ever encounter this type of spirit, stay calm or, as calm as possible and get help immediately.
