Poltergeist is a mid 19th century term used to describe a spiritual force or ghost
that manifests itself by moving and influencing inanimate objects.
|
|
|
|
Reports of poltergeist activity typically feature heavily on raps, bumps, thumps,
knocks, footsteps, and bed-shaking, all without a discernible point of origin or
physical reason for occurrence. Many accounts also detail objects being thrown about
the room, furniture being moved, and even people being levitated.

Origin of word (Etymology) |
|
|
|
The word “poltergeist” was first formed in the German language around
1838 meaning “noisy ghost”. The word is constructed from two German
words “Poltern” ="make noise, rattle" + Geist ="ghost".
|
|
|
|
Hence, in one sense, poltergeist literally means an ghost manifesting itself in
actual phenomena compared to the traditional, although extremely rare examples of
apparition.

One Heaven definition of poltergeist
|
|
|
|
The One Heaven definition of poltergeist activity is:
|
|
|
|
A poltergeist is an outward manifestation of psychological
trauma usually associated to a building, property and/or persons whereby a person
or persons known as an agent or focus with strong kinetic abilities is unable to
resolve their emotional state.
|
|
|
|
Under this definition the person or persons may or may not be deceased. However,
what is significant in this definition is the clear distinction from ghost in that
the source of power of a poltergeist relates to the fuel of psychological and emotional
trauma, whereas a ghost may or may not be present in this state.
|
|
|
|
In cases where poltergeist activity is caused by living individuals in a psychological
traumatized state, through appropriate medical and psychological assistance, such
occurrences should be dramatically reduced. No spiritual intervention, nor religious
procedures are required in any way.
|
|
|
|
However, in cases where poltergeist activity is related to the state of mind of
departed souls haunting land, buildings, property or individuals, only spiritual
intervention and assistance through appropriate actions and the proper authorities
in the constitution of One Heaven can have best effect.
