 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.
 In most cases poltergeist activity is an example
of the mind's ability to influence matter that the American parapsychologist
J B Rhine called psychokinesis. However, occasionally an independent
spirit entity may harness the energy and give intelligent communication
from the afterlife by means of rappings. My own psychic group has had
some successes with this technique asking for spirit people to knock
out messages when we all place our hands around a table. So far, we've
had a few intelligible sentences spelt out but also had a great deal
of gobbledygook. I suspect that our collective psychokinesis may be
creating the effect from our own thoughts and expectations. I'll keep
you posted.
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' by dowser Alfred Watkins they criss-cross Britain
and converge on Glastonbury in Somerset, Stonehenge in Wiltshire and
the pyramid of Cheops in Egypt.
Studies have shown that many of the most famous
cases of poltergeist activity have happened in buildings that have been
built exactly on the intersection of two major Ley Lines.
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. This strange enigma remains unsolved and the jury is still
out.
