    Poltergeist Or Haunted House?

    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...

    When The Lights Went Out

    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...

    UFOs As A Poltergeist Phenomenon

    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...

    Harmful Poltergeists?

    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...

    Charles Fort's Poltergeist

    Came across the following - maybe of interest? Charles Fort (1874-1932) the famed collector of anomalies was the centre of one himself…. By Alan Murdie "So might begin many personal accounts of poltergeist activity. But this one was different. The words are those of Charles Fort himself...

    London Ghost Books (And Other British Ghost Books)

    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...

    The Welsh Poltergeist That Had The Press Camped In The Street Fifty Years Ago

    Not sure where this should go, but here goes anyway. The property on Rhondda Street in Mount Pleasant was said to be haunted (c) WalesOnline 2019 I've never heard of this one before.

    Cardiff Poltergeist [1979+]

    From the old ITV series "Strange But True?" (As an aside I was waiting for the obligatory professional sceptic to turn up for "balance" and say "I believe that THEY believe it, but...". Interestingly there was none, which makes me think this must have been the last show of this kind in the UK...

    Poltergeist Activity Around Charles Fort Box Of Notes

    "Oct. 22, 1924—Yesterday, I was in the front room, thinking casually of the pictures that fell from the walls. This evening, my eyes bad. Unable to read. Was sitting, staring at the kitchen wall, fiddling with a piece of string. Anything to pass away time. I was staring right at a picture above...

    The Battersea Poltergeist

    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...

    Ouija Board Poltergeist Activity

He has had knocks on his bedroom door, with no one there. He has also had cupboard doors open after he has...

    Ghost Tales From Everyday People

    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. I...

    Australian Stone-Throwing Poltergeist

    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...

    The Enfield Poltergeist

    I couldn't find a thread devoted to this, but I noticed from the post here: http://www.offthetelly.co.uk/blog/index.htm ...that there's a new documentary about the case on Channel 4 at the end of the month. With an interview with Janet! It probably won't change any minds either way, but...

    The Hexham Heads

    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...
