Stone throwing is very often the first sign of poltergeist activity, with the houses of victims bombarded by stones and bricks sometimes for days (or even weeks) before any other kind of unexplained phenomenon occur Text Box: Poltergeist  The German word 'poltergeist' roughly translates as 'noisy spirit' or 'noisy ghost'. Parapsychologists often refer to the phenomenon as 'Recurrent Spontaneous Psychokinesis' (RSPK). If you would like to discuss any of the issues below please enter our forum and we would be delighted to chat Text Box: What are Poltergeist? Frightening as these 'rattling ghosts' may be, there's never been a recorded case of anyone being killed by poltergeist activity. It can frighten the wits out of people but can't hurt you. Most paranormal researchers believe that poltergeists are not 'ghosts' at all, but manifestations of unconscious mental upset, usually in children or teenagers. Repressed psychic energy may suddenly expresses itself by projecting from the person who's troubled and paranormally move objects or make noises. This frightens the person who is at the centre of the activity resulting in more fear that again feeds the escaping psychic energy. But if the fear of the poltergeist activity is overcome the circle is broken and the activity usually fades away. Text Box: Psychic’s view Some psychics say that poltergeist activity comes not from spirits or the powers of psychokinesis but from tulleric rays emitted from the earth's core. They believe that these 'Earth Fields' can be detected by dowsing. Underground rock strata, streams and springs distort these rays and result in areas of 'geopathic stress' that are harmful to humans and some animals. Dowsers also believe that the megalithic standing stones were designed to mark the lines of these earth fields . Named 'Ley Lines' they criss-cross Britain and converge on Glastonbury in Somerset, Stonehenge in Wiltshire and the pyramid of Cheops in Egypt. Text Box: To date there is no definitive answer as to the cause of poltergeist activity. It may be a result of a combination of human energies, earth fields and spiritual entities but equally all the theories may be completely wrong and there may yet be a scientific explanation.
