The author of Poltergeist Over Scotland embarks on an in-depth study of the characteristics that imbue the paranormal world's "noisy ghosts."
 
What Is a Poltergeist? is an introduction to the mysterious phenomenon examining the theories and presenting the latest research evidence for poltergeist activity.
 
In trying to define a poltergeist, author Geoff Holder ponders such questions as: Are they the restless souls of the dead? Demons? Witches' familiars? Household spirits? Mysterious earth energies? Unknown powers of the mind? Or hoaxes? This ebook takes the well-known poltergeist phenomena--the movement of objects by invisible forces, the noises, the eruptions of fire, water and electrical disturbance--and maps them against changing ideas and beliefs. The author presents the latest theories and research evidence in his search for answers.
