Produktbeschreibung

The author of Poltergeist Over Scotland embarks on an in-depth study of the characteristics that imbue the paranormal world's "noisy ghosts." What Is a Poltergeist? is an introduction to the mysterious phenomenon examining the theories and presenting the latest research evidence for poltergeist activity. In trying to define a poltergeist, author Geoff Holder ponders such questions as: Are they the restless souls of the dead? Demons? Witches' familiars? Household spirits? Mysterious earth energies? Unknown powers of the mind? Or hoaxes? This ebook takes the well-known poltergeist phenomena-the movement of objects by invisible forces, the noises, the eruptions of fire, water and electrical disturbance-and maps them against changing ideas and beliefs. The author presents the latest theories and research evidence in his search for answers. What is a Poltergeist? is part of The Paranormal, a seriesthat resurrects rare titles, classic publications, and out-of-print texts, as well as publishes new supernatural and otherworldly ebooks for the digital age. The series includes a range of paranormal subjects from angels, fairies, and UFOs to near-death experiences, vampires, ghosts, and witchcraft.
