Poltergeist

From TinWiki.org

Poltergeist is a supernatural phenomenon where objects seem to move on their own, or sounds like for example knocking can be heard, without any explainable source being found for how the sound is created. Various parapsychologsts believe that poltergeist incidences are psychokinetic creations of the victim's mind, created due to psychological trauma/change (i.e puberty). There is a pamphlet being held in the British Museum which talks about a poltergeist haunting called "lithoblia" or stone throwing devil. This disturbance occurred at Great Island in New Hampshire, New England -- it was the family of George Walton who suffered from this haunting, it is said that the hauntings may of been from infernal Spirits or Witches. Its main attacking way was to throw stones and brick bats from all different sizes; it is claimed that hammers among other things were also thrown. Chillingham castle is a place in the North of the United Kingdom near Durham which is haunted by ghosts, poltergeists and many other things.
