Who is a poltergeist and why is it dangerous?

For centuries, mankind has been confronted with inexplicable phenomena and phenomena. But only a few wanted to undertake their explanation. Of course, once even thunder and lightning were called manifestations of divine will, therefore it is not a fact that modern ghosts are fantasy and fiction, just scientists have not yet found scientific justification. But what if you are faced with something inexplicable? Who is a poltergeist and how is it dangerous for you?

Among the people

Let's start with who poltergeist is, according to the people. Depending on the country and religion practiced, the explanation for this phenomenon does not differ much. Most denominations come to one single conclusion. Poltergeist is the soul of a deceased person who could not find peace, and in order to expel her, it is necessary to conduct an exorcism rite or to consecrate an apartment. However, in most cases this will not only help, but it will also intensify the manifestations for one simple reason. Poltergeist is not an entity (physical object).

Definition

The study of who poltergeist is is the science of parapsychology. As the name implies, this phenomenon is attributed to the human mind, and not to any extraneous object.

So who is poltergeist? This word comes from the German language. Poltern - rumble, make noise. Geist is a spirit. Thus, we can conclude that we are talking about some kind of "noisy spirit."

Manifestations

Having learned what exactly is called this term, let's figure out who the poltergeist is and what he does in reality. Studies of this phenomenon have been conducted since the earliest times. Scientists parapsychologists come to the conclusion that all the actions of this essence come down to one thing - to harm and scare others. However, in practice, only one single death was recorded from a poltergeist. So, how to determine that a poltergeist has settled in your apartment:

• at times various noise and knocks appear;
• sounds of steps;
• spontaneous movement of objects;
• spontaneous combustion;
• wet (bloody) spots on walls and ceilings;
• direct contact (you feel touch).

In most cases, the poltergeist does no significant harm, unless it hides the necessary item from you.

Clue

The studies of parapsychologists over the entire existence of this science prove only one thing - this phenomenon is not tied to a specific place, but to a person. Moreover, the age group is quite unambiguous - these are children of puberty, often girls.

Thus, there is a completely scientific hypothesis that poltergeist is not a spirit, but a psychokinetic effect of people with a shaken psyche. Often they themselves do not understand that they are the sources of such an impact. As a result, people scare themselves, leading their minds to even greater insanity, which is why poltergeist manifestations are becoming stronger. Another riddle of "chicken and eggs."

Trying to conduct rituals of exorcism or consecration in such conditions - this means to further anger a skeptical teenager, which will lead to even greater trouble.

Cinema

Another question that occupies the minds of thousands of people is who a poltergeist is and what it looks like. What can be said about this? If parapsychology were not recognized as pseudoscience, then the image of a poltergeist would probably have taken any one form. However, since psychokinesis is not an official scientific justification, in contrast, for example, because the sun sets in the west, various artists, directors and photographers give it a form without going deep into the material and giving free rein to imagination.

For example, in the recently released Poltergeist, this phenomenon is attributed to the influence of thousands of ghosts that live on the land on which the house is built. They intimidated residents and kidnapped the youngest daughter. As you can see, nothing to do with research on parapsychology.

Is it dangerous or not?

We have already described all possible manifestations of this phenomenon. But what should be feared if it manifests itself in you? Scientists parapsychologists distinguish several stages.

1. Only sensations. At the level of perception of smells and sensations. Before you panic, check if there is an unpleasant smell coming from the street.
2. Of course, you should not be afraid of squeaks, steps and knocks, maybe it's a poltergeist, or maybe just the wind in the ventilation, the floorboards in the old house creak and so on. Sounds are not scary and dangerous. It is just a breeze.
3. The next stage of poltergeist manifestation begins to pose a danger. Meaningful movement of objects. If you come from the street, and you have a mess at home, water is spilled and half of things cannot be found, congratulations, you have not successfully noticed the previous stages. Or the child had a disco. Of the possible dangers - damage to property of varying degrees of value.
4. The meaningful stage is direct contact. Poltergeist begins to throw objects at you and tries to intimidate in every possible way. The facts were recorded when the knife flew into a person, but at a distance of literally five centimeters it hung in the air and fell.
5. Aggression. The most dangerous time in which a poltergeist can inflict bruises and bites on a person, write threats. Blood appears on the walls, and a person may suddenly become ill.
   

Despite all this, the maximum damage is done to the house, not to living things. As already mentioned, there is only one death recorded during the manifestation of a poltergeist, and this is something he is talking about.

Call

Two questions, who such a poltergeist is and how to call him, always inextricably follow each other. We will not give here any recommendations or advice on this process, but, on the contrary, we will explain why this should not be done.

1. Poltergeist is a parapsychological phenomenon and cannot be caused. Any successful ritual will cause a more material entity (spirit, demon, ghost).
2. The summoned entity clings to the one who called it and harms it.
3. After the call, getting rid of evil will be much more difficult.
4. You don’t know who exactly you will call, and this can be fatal, because the methods of struggle vary depending on the type of ghost ..
5. Even if you manage to summon a poltergeist to your foe, no one has canceled karma (boomerang effect) . Everything will be returned to you, also in a reinforced version.
6. When invoking intangible entities, contracts are often applied. And you still have to pay your price. And it is high and is often interpreted as being more profitable for a ghost.

Picture

We told so much who poltergeist is. The photos presented in the article are very different, but have the right to exist. In most cases, the essence is intangible, and it is impossible to see it. But, for example, in the game "Stalker" this type of mutant is quite visible to itself.

The poltergeist images in the form of ghosts of all stripes are very popular. In the 1988 1988 Poltegeist film, this phenomenon is attributed to the activity of a demon who looks like a human being.

One of the researchers of poltergeist Alexander Gorbovsky indicates that poltergeist is not at all a parapsychological or metaphysical phenomenon. He believes that sorcerers hypnotize the inhabitants of the apartment, thereby making themselves invisible to them, and after that they arrange messes in the apartment. That is, he looks like an ordinary person.
