Poltergeists, also known as mischievous spirits or ghosts of the dead are said to be responsible for a good deal of unexplainable phenomena. However, often the only clues they leave to their existence are floating objects, broken or missing household items, strange noises, and other minor disturbances, always rendering the investigations of such claims inconclusive. Leaving room for both believers and skeptics, the author of this volume examines a smattering of reported poltergeist activity from around the world to better understand the nature of poltergeists and the likelihood of these seemingly paranormal occurrences.
