| Statistics show that out of 100 investigated cases of poltergeist infestations, only 12% are investigated by competent outsiders, and the activity itself seems to be more intense during the evening rather than the morning. Most poltergeist activity seems to be a House Centred Phenomena. There are a number of profound incidents regularly reported during such infestations. Apportations are when objects disappear from its original place, sometimes never to be found, or to turn up in an odd place. Asportations are when objects appear from nowhere. Often thought of as the opposite action to an apportation. Any time between an object disappearing and appearing is usually known as the limbo time. The Focus is a term given to an adolescent or individual who is adversely effected by the presence of poltergeist activity or / and the individual that is often present when activity takes place. The focus is often thought of being directly or indirectly responsible for some, if not all poltergeist activity. Imitative Sounds are sounds that imitate equipment, appliances or even residents or pets of the household, sometimes mistaken for real events. Disembodied Voices are sounds that can not be identified as imitative, suggesting the sound is foreign to the household. For example, a voice that calls your name, that cannot be readily identified. Incendiary Effects is when items combust for no apparent reason. Some scientific investigators believe there could be a possible connection between poltergeist activity and spontaneous combustion, even when it involves human combustion, known as (SHC). Sometimes objects are found hot or warm to the touch. If this does takes place, it is not classed as incendiary effects until it has literally combusted. Apparitions are not often seen in connection with a poltergeist infestation, however it has occurred a small number of times. Apparitions seem to come in many shapes and forms but those allegedly associated with poltergeist phenomena seem to be amorphous or without real or defined shape. Electrical / Mechanical Interference such as TVs, Radios and other household appliances, can often work of their own accord, even if not plugged into the main supply. In some cases, a form of communication has taken place via the use of such appliances. This is known as (Ghost in the Machine). Also household bills can often jump up to huge amounts, as the activity affects the electrical meters and readings. Incubus / Succubus Activity is said to be a male or female demonic spirits, however this is only speculation. Incubus activity involves females allegedly being sexually touched or attacked. In cases of males, this is known as Succubus activity. It has been noted that these attacks can take place anywhere and at any time, leaving the victims somewhat helpless. Scientific establishments look on this particular phenomena to be associated to temporal lobe seizures, epilepsy or sleep deprivation. However, both theories have equal arguments. It is a well documented phenomenon that was depicted in the 1970s film, (The Entity), where a woman called Carlotta Moran, a widow with three children was the victim of incubus activity. Night after night she was ravaged by something that had no form. The activity seems to have malevolent intent. Today these attacks still occur, not as often, nor as severe. In some circumstances the victim may even go through a series of phantom pregnancies. It is written in old book that these entities are fallen angels and a union with one was once thought to produce demons and witches. If one is to believe in such legends, Merlin the wizard was said to have been the offspring of such a union. However, legends often prove to be nothing more than just made up stories. The word Incubus is Latin and means ‘Male Nightmare’. There seems to be no reason why such incidents take place and no form of pattern. Most attacks are on individuals who have a strong religious belief, however, as usual this is not always the case. As you may probably guess, investigating such claims can be difficult. The one thing that does stand out is that all other forms of poltergeist activity can take place simultaneously, indicating a possible connection to infestations. Physical marks have also allegedly been witnessed, the so called after effects of such an attack. In some cases, bringing in specialised equipment can suppress or reduce the possibility of poltergeist activity taking place. However, in most cases poltergeist activity seems to take place outside the view of video or photographic equipment. Some investigators refer to poltergeist’s as alleged spirits, but it is not a spirit in the spiritualistic sense. I believe I am right in stating that spiritualists or mediums do not accept the poltergeist as a discarnate entity, (the ghost that once was a man), but rather as an ‘elemental’ or Nature Spirit; a being evolved from, or constituting the lower elemental nature of man. Thus possibly created by man himself. Objects are seldom seen to rise, or leave their normal stationary positions. However, there are rare exceptions to this general rule. In Vienna, on May 1st 1926, during an investigation. An investigator claimed to see a cushion on a chair begin to move, then it appeared to hesitate, and then it slipped quietly to the floor. It was just as though the cushion knew that the investigator was looking at it and decided not to make a real flight. It was caught in the act as it were. Poltergeist projected missiles behave very strangely. Most witness report almost being hit by an object which would have certainly been dangerous if it had struck them. However, in cases of projectiles, there are very few that have hit people. This seems to indicate that the poltergeist wants the witness to experience the worry of an object hitting them. If the projectile hit the witness and caused an nasty injury, the witness may vacate the building on a permanent basis, which would possibly be a disadvantage to the poltergeist, as we believe that the energy to create such object movement is taken from those in close proximity to the phenomena and then this energy is manipulated into activity which the witnesses see and become upset, worried, and stressful. These conditions may cause a heightened form of energy that once again the poltergeist uses, and the cycle continues. This causes the witness many psychological problems, be it sleep disorders, panic attacks, phobias or mental injuries and vexation. Some object are seen to fly through the air slowly and then crash to the ground, however there are those who say that they have seen objects fly through the air very fast and then the have fallen very hard to the floor and not broken when they should have done. Some objects are found to be hot or warm to the touch, indicating molecular manipulation. Especially those objects that have seemed to pass through walls or ceilings. Some object fall to the floor as if they had an unnatural trajectory. There are those who believe in the fourth dimension theory. Some poltergeists have even thrown stones at windows from outside. When the case was investigated by the police. They found the stones to be scrubbed clean. Even more unusual was that there were no stones like this for miles around. Witnesses also reported seeing the stones pass through a previous whole in the window as if the stones had guided themselves in some way. Object are rarely seen to travel upwards, this may indicate a more difficult poltergeist action. The Return to the Gardners Home : We arrived at the Gardners home armed to the teeth with knowledge. This time there were six of us. Myself, Peter Hough, Alicia, Vic, Carole, and Val a suspected psychic. We sat as Mr. Gardner informed us of the activity whilst we were away: “Well.... the picture flew off the wall in the hall just missing my grand-daughter. It must of come off with a force because it left a dint in the wall. Other pictures have come off and been found broken on the floor. I also saw a small wooden clock which I keep in the back bedroom just floating in mid air. The kitchen scissors are also a favourite to come flying across at you along with knives, forks and spoons. There’s been more smells of liquorice and tobacco. Last night the lampshade was swinging backwards and forwards. A cotton reel hit Vera whilst in the kitchen. A nephew visiting got hit on the back of his head by a makeup case and the most unusual thing was that we heard a radio working and when we went in to the front room, it turned itself off. When we checked it, we found hat it wasn’t even plugged in. Strange buzzing sound can sometimes be heard at night yet we are always unable to locate the origin. Vera also heard her name being called whilst she was in the house by herself. She was in a terrible state when I got back. The neighbours have even seen things happening. Things are still being moved around, yet no water has appeared. I don’t know what’s worse though. All this or the water ?” After the second interview, Mr. and Mrs. Gardner left the house to us. We set up our equipment and took a video recording of each room. We settled down for the night. The plan was to split up into teams an alternatively rotate from room to room every hour. The vigil had commenced...... Myself and Alicia were designated the lounge, and after just 20 minutes Alicia shouted out “What's that doing there”? Right in the centre of the floor stood a small statuette, which seemed to have just appeared there. It was in a place where it most certainly would have been noticed and stood on or knocked over, yet there it sat in the middle of the room. Neither I or Alicia had seen the arrival. Some of the other investigators came dashing in, cameras at the ready. We immediately checked the video camera and found that it was unfortunately at of shot. How the statuette come to b there was anyone's guess. After several measurements were taken we placed the object temporarily on top of the TV and the vigil went on. The first hour passed quickly and I found myself in the front bedroom. The night was drawing in and I soon decided to stretch my legs and walk to the doorway which led to the hall. Whilst stood talking to Peter and Val I heard my name called. I turned round sharply to find no one there. It sounded as if it was just over my left shoulder. I suddenly felt a cold chill as the goose-bumps ran up my arms like an uncontrollable allergy. I’ve spent many a night in alleged haunted buildings, but something was different about this one. The atmosphere was heavy and a sense of static was in the air. Peter and Val recalled how our conversation seemed to be interrupted by my response. This second incident occurred approximately one hour later. Being slightly unnerved I moved to the back bedroom and had something to eat and drink. It was Carole to have the next experience. She was stood in the exact same spot I was when I heard my name called. Carole turned to us with her mouth dropped, she paused for a second then said ‘Could you hear that’? She described hearing a radio, similar to those used by the police. Once again, she said it was heard just over her shoulder and of course, know one was there. This relieved me a little, thank heavens someone else has heard something unusual, and in the same place. Now I could give this a little more justification. Once again, the incident took place about an hour after the last one. Could things be happening periodically ? It certainly seemed that way. It was quarter to two in the morning and an hour had passed. Everyone sat in silence waiting for the next outbreak of phenomena. By two o-clock nothing had happened so we decided to change around again and during this process, Val was coming out to the hall-way when she suddenly stopped. ‘I can smell a very strong sent of Hyacinths’ she stated, which was confirmed by Carole, then Peter, then Alicia. It was over-powering. We stood in the hall looking for a possible rational explanation, but before we could find one the sent had gone. Then it started. We could feel little drops of water falling on us from above. A close examination f the ceiling showed nothing unusual, however, we all continued to feel the odd drop of water hitting us. This carried on for about ten minutes, expecting a mass of water to shoot across the ceiling at any time, as it had done previously. It never did. By three o-clock I was becoming tired and changed rooms to the back bedroom with Val and Carole. We were all perched on the end of the bed in silence listening for the slightest sound. Then suddenly from behind me came four long heavy breaths. I temporarily froze, not daring to look behind me. I leant forward to find Carole looking across at me. As I lent back I felt an almighty blow to my back. I jumped up in pain and shot into the lounge closely followed by Carole and Val. Something had in fact hit me. Peter examined my back which by this time was forming into a large red mark. Quickly grabbing his camera Peter took a photograph and asked me what had happened. I told him that I had heard heavy breathing just before it happened. Then Carole turned to Peter and said ‘I also heard the heavy breathing just before Stephen shot off out of the room and Val felt something touch her arm’. Peter examined the back bedroom but could find nothing out of place. The mark on my back disappeared about an hour later along with my fear. I was delighted to see the sun coming which seemed to give me a boost of bravery. I wandered around from room to room alone collecting the equipment whist the others were having some breakfast. It was almost eight o-clock when Mr. and Mrs. Gardner arrived. We immediately asked several questions. The first was ‘Where is the Statuette from’? Mrs. Gardner relied ‘by the side of the television’. When the video recordings of each room were checked the statuette was neither on the floor, or by the side of the television; in fact it wasn’t even in the house by all accounts! When we told Mrs. Gardner where we had found the statuette she told us that it was a present from her late husband who suffered from chronic asthma and was a heavy breather. He spent many hours in bed which was then, the back bedroom and he finally collapsed in the hall-way and died. Also he use to be a taxi driver. Could the ‘police’ radio that Carole heard have been a ‘taxi radio’ ? The information was pointing towards a haunting, yet still there seemed to be poltergeist activity. Of course the two forms of phenomena could well be related and it is such classifications that are incorrect. We left the Gardner's house at 9 0-clock in hope of obtaining the water analysis from North West Water Laboratories. Peter had been in touch with them and they had agreed to analyse both the ‘paranormal’ water and the comparison ‘tap’ water. The results were remarkable........ It wasn’t a simple case of tap water leaking, or being thrown. The Calcium, Sodium and Chloride was higher in the ‘paranormal’ water than the ‘tap’ water. British Gypsum told Alicia that the main ingredients in their plaster was Calcium, Sulphate and an insignificant amount of Sodium Chloride. This may account for some of the high readings from the water taken from the ceiling, however, there’s one more thing. The electrical content of both water samples were significantly different. The ‘tap’ water had a conductivity of 181 as for the ‘paranormal’ water ha a conductivity of 1323. Alicia also contacted Crown Wall Coverings and they said that they use no chemicals in woodchip paper and Dulux stated that no such compounds are used in the manufacture of emulsion paint. Could this be evidence of what we call ‘paranormal fomings’ ? We visited the local vicar that had conducted a blessing of the Gardner's home. Rev Smith informed us that he had himself seen the water formings. In his own words he described it as poltergeist activity, rare but known throughout the church and he said he had even considered contacting the diocese, however, when he heard the Gardner's may be re-housed he backed down. Like ourselves at that time he thought it was focusing on the daughter and grand-daughter of the family. He hoped that when they moved, the phenomena would cease. We were a little confused regarding this matter. We had read many times that by removing the focus you remove the phenomena. Obviously, this was not the case the night the vigil was carried out. Are we dealing with a unique type of haunting or is it a unique type of poltergeist activity ? Approximately two weeks later we received a telephone call from Mr. Gardner, just to say that he and his family have moved house and that the property is now empty. He also told us that the council were unhappy with him because he had left the bungalow unsecured. The council said that the bungalow was found to have all its windows open, however, Mr. Gardner said all windows were shut when he left. Further research revealed that Mrs. Gardner's late husband did in fact smoke Old Holburn tobacco and the statuette was of the Greek Goddess, Themis, who was to represent justice. Could there have been an underlined reason for this object to have suddenly appeared in the middle of the floor ? The family that moved into the bungalow are Asian and have not reported any unusual experiences. The Gardner's on the other hand went through similar experiences for two months in their new home. After which it suddenly ceased and never returned. Was the family plagued by a poltergeist or was Mrs. Gardner being haunted by an angry late husband ? Maybe we will never know....
