POLTERGEISTS
What are poltergeists? (German meaning – polter, to knock – geist, spirit, or noisy ghost).
There are two main theories…one being - a discarnate entity who attaches itself to ‘usually’ one person in particular.
The other – a person in such a state of stress, that they internally generate negative energy. This invariably leads to emotional and external destruction in many ways.
Poltergeists are probably the most frequent type and cause of hauntings, which is a global phenomenon.
If you have ever seen the film ‘Poltergeist’, this gives you an exagerated understanding of the kind of chaos poltergeist activity can cause, which may only last briefly - if you are lucky. But, for the less fortunate, it could last months… or even years!
If you are not already aware, the film’s franchise was feared to be carrying a curse for many reasons - more so when two of its leading character’s died prematurely.
The first to die was Dominique Dunne (1959 – 1982), who played Carol Anne’s older sister, Dana. She died at the hands of her boyfriend, who strangled her outside her family home when she refused to go back to him.
Then, Heather O Rourke (1975 – 1988), who played Carol Anne and spoke the famous tag line, ‘they’re here’. She died after septic shock took over her body during an operation. This then resulted in cardiac arrest.
Many people could be manipulated into thinking poltergeist phenomenon is taking place… when in fact, some of the time (when not internally generated) it is demonic. If anything gives out intense negative and evil energy, this may suggest it is something other than poltergeist activity. To read more…click on this!

I read alot about demons, and im scared to death of seeing one. Hope I never do. I liked how you describe the demons up there, it sums it all up.
You are from England aren’t you?
Laura,
the post is really about poltergeists, but yes I did mention demons too. I personally think that many demons are mistaken for poltergeists. JMO
I am from England. How about you, where are you from?
i always say i dont believe in this stuff but truth be known i cant stop looking at stories like these and they really scare me to death, not from the thought of demons or poltergeists but what happens if all this lot is true a whole new perception on life would be necessary and that would then change almost everything! how freaky would that be?
Stevie,
I used to think that way too, but once I was given proof, then yes, a WHOLE new perception on life took place, which unfortunately brings with it – embaressment and ridicule from people who just refuse to believe this is possible. This is the downside of experiencing the paranormal, but the good side is, it is one of the most exciting occurances that can ever happen to you, in that, you KNOW there is an afterlife.
Another good side for me…it eventually caused me to firmly believe in God and that I am thankful for. I only wish the people I love and care about would see that it is almost impossible to carry on remaining so passionate about this subject if it were doubtful that I was witness to it.
Thanks for posting such an insightful comment!
Im from Iceland orig but now live in Scotland.
I thik alot of poltergeists are evil too, not really spirits,
I think I have a poltergeist in my house. Every night I hear knocking on the walls and sometimes flickers of colorful lights or fire flies, after I turn the lights out.
Recently my picture tube in my Tv, in my bedroom blew up, while I was watching it in bed. It made a loud pop and I could smell smoke. I hurried and unplugged it.
Today My bath room vanity light blew up, while I was taking a shower.
It actually made a loud pop and shattered into pieces all over my bathroom. Do you think that is a poltergeist or a Demon?
I’m starting to get concerned, because I have had other spirit activity also.
Nancy,
that happened to me once, where my bathroom light fitting just dropped onto the floor and smashed. I automatically assumed at first that this was paranormal and dashed out of the bathroom. After i had calmed down i began to think that it could just be that it had dropped off its fitting naturally.
In your case you seem to be having too many electrical faults, which means you need to firstly have an electrician investigate before you put it down to paranoral activity.
What other spirit activity have you had?
eyepriestess, I had some misty images in my bedroom for a long time, after I brought home a dream catcher My husband saw three women in our bedroom one night and a woman and child another night. He moved out of the bedroom and I got rid of the dream catcher.
I haven’t seen anymore misty figures, but I have the knocking sounds and sparkles and fire flies every night, after I turn the lights out.
Maybe it is static electricity, because when I get up at night, I hear zapping sounds, like you hear when you rub your shoes on the rug and touch someone. Maybe I should get an electrition out here before I call on an excorist.
Nancy,
yes, hold back on the exorcist at the moment
Maybe this is more than just electrical faults though if you and your husband are seeing things too.
May I suggest you compile everything together and post it to me, we can put this up as a post rather than it being hidden in the comments section. This will hopefully attract readers attention, then we may be able to get to the bottom of this.
Firstly though, I really would see about having your wiring looked at, at least if it isn’t that we can start to look into the paranormal side in more depth.
Nancy, I to think you should definitely have your wiring checked before taking any other measures. It is very possible that there could be high surges of electricity in the wiring that are causing so many lights to suddenly blow. Although, for them to shatter, I would think it’s much more than just electrical problems.
However, entities are energy and I believe that they can also produce the same effect as electrical surges. But, power surges would not account for the knocking your hearing. Do you feel an evil presence when these things are happening? How long has this been going on? And, did anything happen right before these things started? For instance, a traumatic event, or even anything new brought into the home. Not brand new, just new to you like an antique or even just a used piece of furniture.
As far as the dreamcatcher, it is believed that the webs of the dreamcatcher traps bad dreams and the first light of the morning burns them up. Good dreams are allowed to fall through the holes in the web and down through the feathers into the sleeping person below the dreamcatcher. They are believed to be a form of protection, which you probably already know.
I really don’t know a lot about dreamcatchers and I’m not really sure I believe they really do what they’re suppose to do or not. I do know that many ancient cultures have truly believed in their power of protection from nightmares.
CoCo, When things became very noticeable, was about two years ago.
A lot happened in my life that year. We had several wind storms an d I had damage to my house.
I live on the desert and wind storms are frequent, but that year they were worse than ever.
We even had a toronado that took my carport off and half of my shingles. Where I live there is a lot of Quart rock and minerals in the soil. I have heard that attracts poltergeist. I’m not sure if that is true or not. I think I read it somewhere.
My sister in Oregon had a stroke and while visiting her, my brother gave me the dream catcher.
It was after I returned home, that I started noticing the knocking on the walls and misty images and my husband [the non believer] started seeing women in the bedroom.
I haven’t seen the misty images for a long time, but the knocking on the walls have continued.
I am going to have the electricity checked out as soon as I can find an electrition.
Thank s!
Hello, I have some comments and questions, I just moved into a older home built in 1949, I moved here from a duplex which was built in 1960, at the duplex I had many problems, drama, tresspassers, a neighbor who on the other side of the duplex would bang on the walls with a hammer even a year after they had moved in, strange enough the previous tenants at the duplex next to me , a man I will call JK lived there with his wife, for months he asked me if I heard the knocking on the walls, like someone was knocking on the door , as to let me in? this went on for six months, then this man JK became very ill, and in Sept of 2010 he went to the hospital and died there, his wife moved out shortly there after, the only time I heard the knocking and banging noises was about 7 days before he died.
Then the new neighbor moved in and the normal sounds of the home were ok, then one day she just flipped out on me and accused me of putting my large 21 lb black cat who is 12 years old thru the wall of the duplex and she had him next door and was calling the animal warden and the landlord, well it wasnt my cat that was in her house, because my cat was sleeping in the bed with me it was 7 am when she called me, needless to say, this was july 2011, I just moved out Dec 12 , 2011 all was fine here at this used new renovated home, it was renovated in 2000,, a two bedroom home with the garage turned into a living room with a drop ceiling well insulated, and a gas line fireplace, I spent the 12th, the 13th, the 14th all ok then the night of the 15th from 5:55pm tp 1:30am the knocking began durations of 2 mins. then pauses inbetween of 15- 30 mins, then the next night only one knocking around 10:30pm, on the 16th, nothing on the 17th, but now tonight since 11:05pm t0 12:44pm in 15 to 26 mins intervals the knocking is heard again and has kept me up all night now. it is 3 am, I am a spiritualist medium psychic and telepathic individual, I do not practice in public, I am an ordained minister, I read the bible and believe in Jesus Christ, I also can clean homes of ghosts, this knocking , tapping and banging sounds like someone or something wants me to answer the door and let it in, I have yelled at it to stop and threatened to call the police and to come out side and kill it whatever it is animal, human, spirit with a fireplace poker. I am clueless now what to do. I have spoken the word of the Lord God over it, bannished it, bound it, I wont let it over take my fear, but it is freaking out my cats, the city and HUD inspector was here and can find no loose shingles, gutters or wires that could be making the noise, it appears to be inside the pantry inbetween the interior wall and the exterior wall in the corner by the back door, there is snow on the ground and no human foot prints and no animal foot prints like a rabbit, or skunk, however before I moved in I found mouse terds all over the home, I use the sonic electrical repellent devices and have not seen one mouse since being here and no new terds and the cats food is right there in the kitchen where the noise is coming from and the litter box is even closer, and no the noise is not my cats, can you assist me , answer and questions, possible home problems that could be causing this. It only does it at dark, and yes I have thought the neighbors followed me here, but I see no one outside and no unusual cars around my back yard where the noise is coming from is all fenced off.
help me? anyone email with some help, the man I was talking about earlier, JK I have often thought I knew he was dying but we as mediums arent aloud as protocol to tell someone they are going to die, understand it is the persons choice to leave not ours to tell them they will die.
I know though that he heard the knocking 6 months prior to his death , like it was death , the reaper knocking at his door, does this mean the reaper is calling for me, as I have had the thought I might no live much longer for some odd reason, and I dont understand why, other than I have dropped some 45 lbs and I dont eat like I used to I have to force myself to eat, and yes I see a doctor montly, and no I am perfectly sane. I see a therapist as well and have for over 8 years. tell me something please.
