THE ELUSIVE FORCE
A Remarkable Case of Poltergeist Activity and Psychokinetic Power
"In the spring of 1983, a thirteen-year-old Polish schoolgirl named Joasia Gajewski suddenly began to exhibit astounding paranormal abilities (often beyond her conscious control)...
After reading many accounts of the paranormal and weird on this forum, I now wonder if my first home was haunted or had a poltergeist. Is there a difference?
Sorry, this story is going to be disjointed because I started posting on another thread and realized that I was telling a full story...
Following on from a few cases discussed on here I wonder if there are a set of circumstances when put together you get a Poltergeist and I wonder if all the investigations anyone has come up with any
I know it is oft said that it's brought on by frustrated adolescents but if this was the case...
Just watched the film from 2012, no idea how I'd missed that one, but usually shy away from contemporary stock horror, much to my own detriment sometimes.
But I loved this, from the wonderfully accurate setting in 1974 Yorkshire to the amazing cast.
Has anyone else seen this, and what are your...

There are two incidents ,one concerning my mother and the other , myself, where it appears that some sort of intervention from the spirit world saved us from dire consequences . The first incident I'll relate , occurred around 4 years ago .

Eric Ouellet, a Canadian professor of defence studies, has written quite a bit on a 'parapsychological' approach to UFOs.
In particular he argues that UFO 'flaps' or waves often mirror the structure shown by poltergeist phenomenona. They start with apparently closely witnessed anomalies; are...
Most of the reading I've done on Poltergeist phenomena would seem to suggest that they fall into Colin Wilson's definition of them as "entities of relatively low intelligence possessing the same sort of humour found in adolescent boys" (paraphrased from memory)
So are there any instances of...

Spinning off from the London Underground thread, where we have been discussing books...I wonder if anyone can recommend a couple of books about ghosts/haunting in London that I can buy?
I have in mind:
One which has some easily digestible "anecdotes"/interesting stories.
And one which is more...

I Have just finished "the poltergeist prince of london, the remarkable true story of the battersea poltergeist" and while i thought it was a very interesting read, the case itself i have my doubts about. While there appear to be a few events for which shirley can't seem to be blamed for, i think...

Someone at work has had a word with me today. He said his girlfriend messed about with a ouija board with a friend at their house last week. He tells me that they now have stuff happening. He has had knocks on his bedroom door, with no one there. He has also had cupboard doors open after he has...
I am 60 this year, and I have been amazed just how many rational people have admitted they have either seen or felt a ghost. I got to talk intimately with men and women when I was a nurse and carer, so perhaps they felt they could confide in someone who would give them a sympathetic ear.

Greetings, everybody!
Does anyone remember a story in the FT about a house in Australia whose inhabitants suffered for a long time from a poltergeist (?) that threw stones at them & their house?
I think the events took place in the 1960s, but I don't remember.
I'm trying to find the...

Does anyone know what happened to the Hexham Heads, or where they are now?
I was fascinated with this story as a child, and seem to remember reading somewhere that someone owned up to making them in the end. However, I also seem to remember that in the original story there were a range of...
