023. Poltergeists

Trauma

After a mirror fell down from a shelf and glass lid from saucepan, that both broke into pieces I’ve decided it was a good opportunity to reflect on this.   There wasn’t any logical reason for these two items to come crashing down.  Natasha, my African Grey parrot, was also traumatised by this experience, not allowing anyone out of her sight and trusting no one.

Check out our two green finches’ image, one is calm and the other malevolent. It reminded me of the position that I was in with the spirit I felt in the place, I was calm and the spirit doing the breaking was not.

I guess that this spirit was some form of poltergeist that came to stay for a short period. Why that time I don’t know, but it was an interesting experience for me. Let me tell you more about poltergeists. They are often known to have caused interference in telephones and electronic equipment. Other games that they like to play are turning lights and appliances on and off.  In some cases poltergeists might even become a full bodied or partial bodied apparition where they may pinch, bite, hit or even sexually attack the living.

Here is my guide to knowing if you have poltergeists:  

THE 5 STAGES OF POLTERGEIST ACTIVITY

1.   Senses

I am sure that many of you have heard of cold spots, strange noises, hearing footsteps, pets running from rooms, feeling of being watched and no surprise that this activity mainly revolves around the five senses of the human body. 

2.   Communication

Poltergeists like us are trying to get our attention and they can do this with strange noises, smells become more easily discernible and direct. Other signs are whispers, moans, breezes in closed areas, marks appearing on floors or walls.

3.   Physical

If a poltergeist is trying to make it presence known through the physical, some of the common characteristics are:

• Appliances turning on and off
• Electric lights flashing
• Invisible hands touching people
• Doors and/or windows opening and closing by themselves
• Invisible hands touching people
• Strange knocks at doors and windows
• Moving and/or flying objects or objects disappearing and reappearing elsewhere
• Shaking furniture
• Appearing as frightening entities
• Creating visions or illusions
• Speaking in ordered tones
• Windows, mirrors and objects breaking for no reason
• Biting, slapping or punching people
• Animating objects
• Blood on walls, floors and ceilings
• Spontaneous fires
• Attacks by unseen forces
• Flying knives or sharp objects
• Heavy objects falling
• Threatening writings or visual signs of danger
• Onset of unknown medical illness

4.    Tricks

Another key element to this mischievous entity which may seem harmless and playful is that it gathers knowledge of what a person may consider to frighten them; this information and energy gathering is so that it can start to inflict terror in the next stage of its work. When we are frightened we are giving off an energy that is different from our usual status.  

5.    Danger

Once the poltergeist has reached the highest point of its energy level this is when danger has set in. The violent and threatening actions begin.  After this stage, the poltergeist will go dormant and then begin its cycle all over again back to the first stage.  Fortunately, this type of poltergeist activity is extremely rare; however, it is just as well to be aware that it does exist.


Well as you would expect, I am used to spirit activity around me, but when items start to break I think it’s getting a bit much!  A house cleaning is very necessary, just like our image, I don’t mind the friendly finches, but there is no place in my home for the malevolent ones. Time for them to fly I think!
