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.
