Synopsis

A poltergeist is defined as a disturbance or energy with bizarre physical effects of paranormal origin that suggest mischievous or destructive intent, such as breaking or moving objects and loud knocks or noises. The author has reviewed 75 cases and interviewed hundreds of witnesses, paranormal experts, police officers, psychologists and sceptics to come up with eye-opening results: · The typical poltergeist case involves a young person from a repressed home who is going through puberty. He or she may have epilepsy, which produces recurrent spontaneous psychokinesis, a state in which gravity is temporarily suspended. · A respected former Princeton University scientist believes he has proven in laboratory experiments that psychokinesis exists and that poltergeist cases are probably true. · This rare energy may be part of a person's fight-or-flight system, which is hardwired into everyone and can erupt in certain conditions.
