Get
to Know your Ghosts - Poltergeists
Poltergeist is from a German word meaning noisy spirits.
Reports of poltergeists date back to Ancient Roman times.
The activity that takes place will start of with knocks and
bangs, furniture starting to move around by itself. Then, the
activity will become more intense, manifesting itself through
voices and even the appearance of full apparitions. Furniture
may slide across the room and beds may shake. Many shows are
based on this is a style of haunting because it tends to be
the most terrifying and rarest type of haunting that occurs.
Most of the time, in the case of a poltergeist, the haunting
circles around a female in her teen years. Some of these cases
seem to be caused by the female unknowingly controlling the
energy around herself. Some cases happen around people that
are stable and in the right mind space.
This haunting is hard to classify due to certain situations.
No two are ever really the same. Most of the time you will find
that one person in the household seems to be more affected by
the haunting than anyone else. It may seem that most of the
activity doesn't happen unless that certain person is present.
Usually, the activity appears to stop when that person leaves
the home. The majority of the time poltergeists are experienced
by several people, but again they seem to center around one
certain person. This person may be highly stressed as of late
or maybe this person has gone through some type of extreme emotional
situation. If this is the case, see that the individual involved
gets some medical care, and soon afterwards the poltergeist
will subside.
When it is not the teenager that is manifesting activity there
are usually several spirits in the area. The spirits appear
to pool their energy together in order to become strong enough
to move larger objects and make more noises. In order to remedy
the situation, you need to find the root of their anger so that
they can pass over and leave you in peace. On most poltergeist
cases they will disappear with out any warning, just as they
appeared. Certain times it may stop within a few days, other
times it may take years. You may never know the reason that
it happened. Most people are just happy to see it go and that's
enough for them.
By understanding why it was there in the first place helps you
to understand how to keep it from ever coming back again. Knowledge
is the key in protecting yourself in this world.
