Many researchers have tried to explain the nature of the poltergeist. The most original was given, perhaps, by Korney Chukovsky in the study of the phenomenon - the famous work "Fedorino grief". Let me remind you that in the house of a certain citizen Fedora, a resident of Central Russia, plates, spoons, and other utensils began to fly. Chukovsky describes this as a case of a typical classical poltergeist. But what is its reason? The author of the study believes that the reason lies in Fedora's complete spiritual neglect, such neglect, which is close to the level of degradation to madness or an animal state.
Of course, at first glance, it is ridiculous to call Chukovsky a poltergeist researcher. However, there is no doubt that at the heart of his "Fedorin Grief" is an ordinary village poltergeist, a common history of anomalous events. And he pointed out the reason for the poltergeist correctly: complete neglect, abnormality of Fedora's inner world. In the classic poltergeist (not caused by vampirism) there is always a focal face in the form of a teenager, and the poltergeist itself is produced by the processes associated with puberty, the acquisition of new organs and new body functions by the body. These functions "turn into the wrong steppe", creating a poltergeist instead of the work of puberty. And this happens only in dysfunctional families, where a mess reigns. A mess in their heads, to which unwashed dishes are just an accompanying result of chaos. Therefore, Chukovsky's diagnosis is just very accurate: in normal families there is no poltergeist (not vampiric, but classical). It happens only where trouble has been launched to the level of chaos. Chukovsky's recipe is correct: so that the utensils do not fly around the house, you must not lose your human appearance …
All cases of vampirism are accompanied by a poltergeist. But, obviously, not all cases of poltergeist can be associated with vampiric phenomena. The nature of these phenomena is very similar and, perhaps, it should be admitted that the vampiric poltergeist (caused by a vampire in a coma) is part of the general poltergeist phenomenon.
Thousands of poltergeists are described in the literature, and even the medieval works of researchers of the issue are distinguished by high professionalism of the authors: this is the "Revealing of Witchcraft" by Reginald Scott (London, 1584) and his "Demonology" (Edinburgh, 1597), "Infected Places" by Petrus Tyreus (Cologne, 1598), "Pandemonium, or the Cloister Devil" by Richard Bovit (London, 1684). Of the huge number of poltergeists here, in my opinion, those that have the features of vampirism are interesting. But, naturally, neither the authors nor the eyewitnesses of the events themselves considered them a manifestation of vampirism.
Typical for a vampiric poltergeist are the movement of clothes (often the vampire himself), when the poltergeist creates a "living mannequin" from it, as well as bringing in newly departed relatives (in fact, not dead, but in a coma) and all sorts of strangulation and other violence from the outside these ghosts.
According to the results of a computer analysis of 500 cases of poltergeist outbreaks presented in the book "Poltergeists" by Gould and Cornell, "living mannequins" from clothes appeared in 15 cases (3 percent). These, in my opinion, are just cases of a vampiric poltergeist, since at the same time ghosts of "deceased" relatives were observed in them, who strangled people (more often children). It should be clarified that 3 percent is not at all the share of vampiric poltergeists in the total number of manifestations of the phenomenon, since vampirism is not always accompanied by the creation of "living mannequins". This share is higher and, apparently, reaches a quarter or even a third.
DEAD

Here is one of the cases of explicit vampirism, described by the famous poltergeist researcher I. V. Vinokurov (he himself classifies him simply as a ghost). Events took place today in Moldova, in a house on the street, completely built up with one-story houses. One of them was occupied by a family with a 16-year-old boy. Neighbors often discussed the mysterious death of a young woman who passed away a few weeks before the family moved. It was even said that her spirit was mischievous and frightens people at night. But few believed this. The young man also doubted this - until he met the spirit. Here's how he himself talks about it:
“One night I woke up because someone started pulling the covers off me. I grabbed it half asleep to hold it, pulled it higher, but the jerks continued. When I finally woke up, I opened my eyes … and saw a girl in the room. I couldn't see her face, it was dark, but I clearly saw that she was tall, with her hair down and in a nightgown. Frightened, I covered my head with a blanket and hid. The room was quiet. Finally, I grew bold, leaned out from under the blanket … The girl was here.
Then I decided to find out who or what it was and jumped out of bed. In response, she retreated to the wall. I took a step - she was gone, she seemed to dissolve into thin air. The light came on, but everything was quiet and calm, the clock showed a quarter to twelve at night. The thought crossed my mind that this was my sister's trick.
I looked into her room - she was snoring sweetly in her sleep. And then I remembered that my sister was much shorter. She was tall, as I was later told, the very girl who died strangely enough.
It is interesting that on the same night this girl also appeared in the bedrooms of two of my friends, one of whom reacted exactly as I did, and the other remembers how she came, but she cannot remember what she did. It is also curious that she visited me at a quarter to twelve, at another - at the beginning of the first. Our houses were close to each other.
But how did she come to see me and how did she come out? The door and windows were locked. When I turned on the light, my mother asked why I was not sleeping. I asked if she had seen anything strange. The mother replied that she heard the front door banging, but since the door was and remained locked from the inside, she decided that it was her imagination.
VAMPIRISM IN BRISTOL
Here's another curious case.
In 1761-1762, in Bristol, in the home of Richard Jail, an unknown force subtly vexed his daughters Molly and Dobby. At first, she announced herself as strange scratching on the girls' beds. Soon the scratching turned into knocking. The father began to follow his daughters in the hope of catching them on mischief, but one day, before his eyes, the lid of the chest shut itself shut. Following this, the girls' dresses fell out of the chest onto the floor. The father decided to separate the children and took Molly to another room. Before he had time to put his daughter to bed, she screamed: something pinched her leg.
Vinokurov referred this story to the category of ghosts, although ghosts do not rip the blankets off people and do not appear so often in different houses to different people. This is a typical vampirism, where the ghost of a buried girl who fell into a coma was obviously looking for relatives, wandering home. What happened when the ghost found relatives is unknown. A pity … And then various effects on the body and skin of the girls began. Something happened in front of the eyes and in the presence of witnesses, such as invisible bites and skin wounds, from which children constantly suffered. Here is how one of the eyewitnesses tells about some episodes:
“There was a loud sound in front of the table and I saw a chair moving with Molly sitting in it, so fast that she was almost thrown to the floor. Dobby immediately screamed loudly: she saw a hand squeezing Molly's throat (children often saw ghostly hands), and I noticed that Molly's neck was tightly squeezed in this place, everything there turned white, as if with strong pressure from her fingers, although I was nobody and did not see. Four days later, when there were seven of us in that room, Molly complained that she had just been bitten in the arm, and Dobby screamed the same thing.
We have witnessed how their hands were bitten about twenty times that evening. In the beds, the girls lay on their backs with their hands on top of the blankets. They could not bite their own hands, because all this time we were watching them relentlessly. Examining the bites, we found traces of eighteen or twenty teeth in them. Saliva was smeared on the surface of the wounds, the outlines of which clearly indicated the touch of someone's mouth to the skin of the girls' hands. Skin surface at bite sites
was very wet and smelled disgusting. Sometimes you could see how saliva fell by itself on Molly, as if from the ceiling.
Soon, the invisible bites were joined by pinpoint bleeding wounds on the girls' skin. Molly was once inflicted such wounds about forty times. Something continued to beat, bite, injure and spit on the children. In February 1761, two months after the outbreak began, the manifestations intensified and became truly violent: children were literally thrown out of bed by something, even when those present tried to restrain them by force. Some of the witnesses even felt the touch of invisible hands trying to grab them, or noticed the marks of these hands appearing on the bodies of the girls in front of the amazed eyewitnesses.
Choking children, invisible bites, leaving fingerprints on the throat and hicks on the body are typical of vampirism. Parents should remember which of the relatives recently died a strange death - and exhume the pseudo-dead comatose, try to bring him back to life (instead of execution, as was the practice during the epidemic of vampirism in Eastern Europe 250 years ago). And all adversity would stop.
KEMEROVSKY POLTERGEIST
One of the brightest, haunted poltergeists of recent times erupted in Russia and lasted from August 1986 to February 1988. This is the famous Kemerovo poltergeist, the development of which was systematically observed by the Tomsk researchers headed by the candidate of geological and mineralogical sciences V. N. Salnikov.
This is how Vinokurov describes him. At the epicenter of extremely unusual events was one young family: its head Mikhail, his wife Lyuba and their four daughters from five to two years old. It still started in the old apartment (which they rented) in August 1986. In October of the same year, a large family was allocated a new four-room apartment on the eighth floor, but the frightening oddities continued there.
Even in the old apartment, the children complained to their mother that they see some kind of "uncle" at night and that she supposedly comes to their bedroom herself, bends down and gazes into their eyes. The children were terrified and asked their mother why she was behaving so badly.
Even in his new apartment, Mikhail did not believe for a long time that something strange was happening. One day in October 1986, he even stated this out loud. The heating in the house was not working yet, it was cold and I had to sleep in warm sweaters and trousers. The next morning, the head of the family woke up completely naked, which was a lot of surprise: "Do not understand ?!" And then he discovered that the pillowcase had disappeared from his pillow. All this turned out to be tightly packed into a two-centimeter gap between the wall and the sofa.
Usually, the poltergeist manifested itself in the form of knocking on windows (this is on the eighth floor!) And doors, rumbling of dishes, opening and closing of various taps, doors and doors, steps on the floor, clicking of switches, strange phone calls, physical influences on people ("Strangles", "squeezes", "breaks", etc.), human voices, meowing of a kitten, purring of a cat. One day the kettle not turned on boiled. They paid ten times more for electricity than neighbors in a similar apartment nearby. And this is completely analogous to the picture of the poltergeist we observed in Minsk in 2002–2003, where the electricity consumption meter was spinning like that.
But the ghosts were the worst. They most often appeared in the evening and at night in the form of acquaintances and strangers. And somehow the ghost of a recently deceased family friend appeared. He, one must think, was the source of events - the mistakenly buried comatose vampire.
Sometimes ghosts looked like shadows, but often they could not be distinguished from a living person.
Once Lyuba woke up from a strange feeling of uneasiness and suddenly saw: a dark gray shadow of a man was floating out of the corner. She was frightened, closed her eyes, and when she opened it, everything disappeared. Then Lyuba more than once saw this shadow floating out of the corner. And once a hand separated from the shadow, reached out to her and suddenly, grabbing her by the throat, began to choke. Lyuba barely freed herself from her hand, and the next morning she found traces of someone's fingers on her neck. The resulting bruises hurt for a long time. Typical vampirism.
Typical "youthful" poltergeist in action. It was produced by Ldolphine Benoit's girlfriend, a maid (in the background), making objects fly in March 1849, Guyonville, France.
The girl constantly found pieces of meat in her pockets, and once in the stable she felt like someone invisible was putting on her horse harness. The priest, who volunteered to expel the "evil spirit" from her, shook in the midst of the ritual, and his glasses shattered by themselves into tiny pieces.
At night she was often "crushed" and "choked", and on the advice of her grandmother Lyuba put a cross around her neck. But someone tore him or pulled him by the chain. Lyuba was afraid to look at the one who did it. Once she turned sharply and saw that the chain was being pulled by a completely black man, dressed in black monastic clothes, with his face covered with something like a black burqa. Under Lyuba's gaze, the man began to back away and disappeared.
And here is what Lyuba told about the most recent events before the end of the poltergeist in February 1988:
“The friends and acquaintances whom I told about what was happening here, of course, did not believe. I suggested that you stay overnight. There are five guys left. Everyone lay down side by side, just diagonally in the hall, with their feet to the door. At night I slept peacefully (I generally sleep peacefully when a person sleeps with us, who does not believe me and stays to check). Woke up from a whisper. I came to them, and three guys who slept in the middle are discussing who felt what (the two who slept at the edges never woke up, although we woke them up). At first, someone pounced on them, pressed on the chest, and it was as if they were "broken". Everyone woke up in a cold sweat. I invited them to lie down in a "safe" corner. Two obeyed me, but Vova, the most curious who called everyone together, stayed and suffered all night. The next day he died in a car accident. We buried him. And on this night, after the funeral,I suddenly heard his voice and woke up. I look, it looks like Vovk. White-white, his skin was very white, and in colored shorts, as I saw him that night when he spent the night with us. Of course, I was very scared, but I was not at a loss, I remembered that my own grandmother taught me: if something happens - ask, for good or for worse. I asked. And he brushed it off, he always did that, this is his gesture, and says: "Yes, for good, Lyuba, for good." And, as it were, he moved away and disappeared into the doorway. And after that everything became calm in the house. I asked. And he brushed it off, he always did that, this is his gesture, and says: "Yes, for good, Lyuba, for good." And, as it were, he moved away and disappeared into the doorway. And after that everything became calm in the house. I asked. And he brushed it off, he always did that, this is his gesture, and says: "Yes, for good, Lyuba, for good." And, as it were, he moved away and disappeared into the doorway. And after that everything became calm in the house.
And at the funeral, his grandmother came up to me. Vovka told her what was going on with us. And she didn’t believe: “I have lived all my life, but I haven’t seen this.” And then at the funeral she came up to me and told me. That night, when Vova spent the night with us, she was awakened by a knock on the window. And they live on the third floor. She was frightened. Then they knocked on the door. She asks: "Who is there?" Behind the door: “Granny, it's me, Vova. What are you not opening? " She felt uneasy: “What are you, Vova, you have the keys. You never woke me up, why did you wake me up now? " And he: "Well, you don't want to open it, so look at me through the window." She was very afraid, but it was as if something had let her down to the window. Looks, Vova stands under the window. And the place seems to be lit, you can clearly see it. Smiles and waves his hand as if saying goodbye. And it goes further and further. And so he left, backing away.
When he disappeared from her eyes, her heart somehow felt heavy. She lay down on the bed. And then someone pounced on her, shaggy, red, some eyes shine. Growth - about half a meter. So he climbs to kiss. She brushes him off, dumps him, and he grabs and kisses. He kissed me from head to toe. Otmatter - disappeared.
In the morning she decided that something would happen to Vova. And then the news came about the death of his grandson. And it seemed to her that this redhead was reassuring her. She loved her grandson very much, and Vova loved her very much. His mother felt nothing. By the way, Vova is one of those people who immediately believed in what I was telling. We once sat and talked with him. He says: “I envy you, Lyuba. You have everything: home, children. And I am seventeen years old, I saw everything. But there is no "this", I have not seen it. I want to see and then I will calm down."
So he calmed down, it seems, at the cost of his own life …"
This example again shows that you cannot joke with vampirism. Of course, curious people are drawn to this, but they do not understand that this is the curiosity of an unprepared person - that sticking a finger in the mouth of a dog with rabies.
NEVIDAL
Here's another case. In August 1977, oddities began in Enfield, a suburb of London, where a family of three teenage girls, their seven-year-old brother and mother lived in one of the houses. It all started with loud bangs on the walls of the house. Then furniture began to turn over, a variety of household items whistled in the air, doors opened and closed by themselves, fires appeared, streams of water flowed, human bodies experienced an invisible, but clearly physical impact. In general, "Fedorino grief", like Korney Chukovsky. More often than not, this prodigality manifested itself in the presence of eleven-year-old Jeannette.
A hoarse, raspy, eerie voice came from her. It sounded even when the girl took a mouthful of water. The corresponding video was even demonstrated at one of the parapsychological conferences.
But the most amazing thing was that not only household things were in the air, but also the girls themselves. Once from the street they saw toys, textbooks, girls' clothes floating in the room in the direction of the clockwise direction. Then one of them appeared. Approaching the window, she pushed off the glass with her hand and continued on.
This is somewhat different from Chukovsky's presentation of such events, where Fedora still did not fly with her plates and irons.
The poltergeist became more and more complex over time. Children began to see ghostly figures. Seven-year-old Jimmy was especially frightened when he met a ghost, who appeared in the form of an elderly face with long white teeth and piercing eyes. Then notes were sent, voices began to be heard; the latter were even recorded on tape. Sometimes ghosts were seen - doubles of the inhabitants of the house. By about the middle of 1978, all these phenomena finally stopped.
ANOTHER "FEDORINO GORE" IN ENGLAND
In 1974, the British newspaper The Yorkshire Post reported on these events. It all started after Mrs. Mary Sherman (English "Fedora") moved with her children, and she had six of them, to a new house. It was in Leeds, Yorkshire, in 1962. One evening the toilet door opened a little in front of Mrs. Mary's eyes, and from there, says Mary, a head stuck out - completely gray, with small curls. Then the owner of the head herself appeared, an old, old woman. Tilting her head to one side and screwing up one eye, she stood right in front of Mary for several seconds. A strange smile wandered on her face. Finally the old woman threw up her hand and shook her white stick.
Mrs. Sherman told all the neighbors in the morning. They identified the ghost as Mrs Napier, a lonely old woman who lived in the house before the Shermans moved in, and was found dead in the closet.
Following the first appearance of the ghost of the deceased, doors began to open and close by themselves, and all sorts of trinkets moved from place to place. There were slow, shuffling steps on the stairs. Sometimes I saw the one who was doing all this. According to Mary, at night something unimaginable was happening in the nursery: mattresses floated in the air, blankets rolled on the floor, curled up in huge balls. Once a roll of linoleum unrolled by itself. And one evening Mary, two brothers and children who visited her saw something absolutely incredible in the nursery: twelve-year-old Michael was hanging in the air above the bed at almost two meters height! He hung with open eyes, but in a kind of strange numbness. One of the brothers with difficulty lowered the body down - he felt as if he were immersing an inflated chamber from a ball in water. They called the police and an ambulanceMichael was taken to the hospital, but the next morning he was sent home. The Shermans, on the advice of friends, moved to another house. But you cannot run away from yourself - the poltergeist is not tied to a place, but to people, so in the new dwelling everything continued as before. Moreover, a new ghost began to appear - the ghost of Mary's mother who had died shortly before. And only after the third move in 1974, the noisy spirits finally left the unhappy family alone. And only after the third move in 1974, the noisy spirits finally left the unhappy family alone. And only after the third move in 1974, the noisy spirits finally left the unhappy family alone.
It remains unclear who was the source of the events - the supposedly deceased old woman who lived here, or just the recently deceased mother Mary? Or was the mother also a victim of this old woman? However, the features of classical vampirism are evident.

SMOKED BY A LITTLE WHITE GIRL
From January 22 to March 30, 1722, a certain "spirit" lived in the house of the peasant Hans Joachim Dunklmann from the village of Sandfeld in eastern Germany. Many household items jumped, bounced, toppled, fell, turned over and flew as if alive. Some flew smoothly through the air and even went around corners. Things inexplicably disappeared from the chest of drawers, while someone was sitting on it, and ended up in the middle of the room.
Once Frau Dunkelmann heard an unknown voice say: "Your health!" - and a beer mug full of human excrement was immediately thrown into the house. And once in an empty room, one after another, and in front of eyewitnesses, a wide variety of objects appeared, as it turned out a little later, necessary for a picnic: a self-assembled tablecloth spread on the floor, there were dishes with food on it, and from clothes the figures of two participants in an outlandish feast were formed.
Witnesses said it was an unforgettable sight!
The creation of mannequins from clothing is a unique characteristic of vampirism. The usual classic poltergeist, which is not based on vampirism, does not create this. And only with vampirism is it the norm that clothes take on the features of people. First of all, it is the clothes of the vampire himself, which, according to reports presented in the vampirology of the period of the epidemic 250 years ago in Eastern Europe, "moves by itself without anyone visible to touch it." It is with this - the creation of mannequins from clothes - that the vampiric poltergeist differs from the usual one produced by the focal face, by a teenager during his puberty.
Not without ghosts that only children saw. They were often interrogated separately, following fresh traces, but they gave similar testimony. The Dunkelman couple had five children, and what they saw became more and more grotesque. On February 12, 1722, an invasion of mysterious cats began in and around the house, and the ghost of a dog with short ears was also seen. On February 20, the children met a ghost of a large yellow dog with a huge ugly head, eyes the size of a plate, with a cow's face and on three legs. This terrible creature, according to the children, brought several oversized barrels and placed them in front of the doors from inside the room. The adults did not see the "dog", but because of the barrel they were immediately able to enter the room in order to save the children from this horror.
On February 21, the children saw a ghost of a child in the garden and, following the advice of their mother, began to call various names. The phantom responded to the name of Eleanor and asked for an apron, which was done. He tore it into four pieces and gave it to the children so that their mother could make kerchiefs and a hat from those pieces …
On March 5, the couple's three-year-old child was found lying face down on the table, almost strangled to death. He said a little white girl had done it to him. On March 10, the same child rose into the air several times in front of his parents. Other children sometimes simply disappeared, but soon reappeared in the same place where they disappeared. Once, in front of the mother's eyes, a son standing next to her disappeared, but soon appeared in the same place. All the disappearing children told that they had been underground, where they met small people who offered them to live with them for money; when the children refused, they were sent back. There is a direct analogy not so much with the stories about the fairy-abductors, but with the UFO phenomenon, where "pilots" always persuade people to fly away with them.
And "Eleanor", who declared herself an angel, instructed the children how to drive out evil spirits. Following her advice, the parents hunted these invisible creatures throughout the house, piercing them with pitchforks. Judging by the fact that on March 31, 1722, the house became calm, this method of "fighting evil spirits" turned out to be productive.
THE BOOK BROKEN INTO SHARDS
I already mentioned the broken book in the previous chapter. It all started with the fact that on the night of May 4, 1696, strange things suddenly began to happen in one of the monasteries of Naples in Italy. In the days that followed, they multiplied, appearing, however, only in the presence of the nineteen-year-old novice Carlo Maria Vulcane; by the beginning of the events, he had lived in the monastery for almost a year and a half.
On the night of May 4, stones suddenly began to fall in the corridor where the doors of the novices' bedrooms were opening. The same thing happened the next night, but with much more ferocity: the stone "rain" covered the entire floor, and the roar did not let sleep. Carlo, lying in bed, saw the figure of a Benedictine monk entering the door. Shouting on the go: “Help! Help! " - she approached the novice's bed and, calling him Carluccio, asked him to read her a prayer. The young man got scared and ran to the mentor for help.
On the morning of May 6, stones began to fall again in one room, then in another. Then everything was quiet until evening.
When Carlo had already gone to bed, he suddenly heard a voice again: “Carluccio! Carluccio! Then Carlo's clothes flew into the air and fell onto the bed. And then he saw a figure in white robes with a face of fiery color. In the bedroom, furniture toppled and fell with a terrible noise, the windows opened, a basin and a jug full of water broke, but not a drop spilled onto the floor.
In the following days, stones constantly fell, the demon knocked on doors with loud cries, scattered mattresses, pillows and sheets, put a chamber pot full of fetid excrement in front of the image of the saint, locked the doors, sprinkled the unfortunate Carlo with excrement, broke vessels with water with stones.
The banishing ritual performed by the most famous expert in the field, Cardinal Ursi-ni, only further angered the demon. He began to set fire to furniture, put horse dung in food, which some scattered monks accidentally pushed into their mouths while eating. And Carlo got it in the church, but not only to him: when the monks sent services there, the demon tied them by the legs to the balustrade, and if the holy fathers were going to leave at the end of the service, they fell face down.
And once Father Philippe Pisani found the pockets of his clothes left in his cell turned out. The coins were no longer there, the search was unsuccessful. Towards evening, the holy father went out for a walk and, seeing a peach tree, plucked four fruits from it. In each of them, cutting, he found a doubloon. And already at home, having cut a melon, I found silver coins in it, however, five less than disappeared. Amazing teleportation of objects …
Once Carlo was in his uncle's Neapolitan home. There was a noise in one of the rooms. When they ran in there, they found a black figure with a sheet over his shoulders, which was moving. It was a mannequin made of clothes. Began the ritual of exile, the figure crumbled, but soon re-formed and turned the table "hands". The "Man of Clothes" walked a considerable distance, then fell to his knees in the middle of the room, and finally fell apart. All that remained in the room were various clothes and sheets from which mannequins arose.
This is perhaps the most creepy thing about this poltergeist. However, in other poltergeists it happened even more terrible: in another case in 1849, fifteen such dummies were once seen, moving on foot.
On January 2, 1697, the book was thrown by a poltergeist so that it shattered into fragments, like glass. This is a very revealing moment, and earlier I drew the reader's attention to it. This fact alone refutes a host of pseudoscientific hypotheses concerning the nature of the poltergeist. It is clear that this is not the action of some "microlepton fields", and this is not an "alien trick". We are talking about a change in the very essence of a substance, which can only occur at the level of internal information of a substance. An analogue of this is perhaps the Creation of the World by the Creator. The very virtuality of substance, which we have already talked about a lot.
The poltergeist continued until spring. In the end, on March 30, 1697, the leadership of the monastery issued a verdict: Carlo is not suitable for monastic life. And the poltergeist disappeared.

How much energy is spent by the invisible to create a poltergeist? Some researchers of the question tried to calculate this by estimating the energy consumption for the flight of a stone or, say, when a poltergeist creates a “man of clothes”. However, all the energy of the entire Universe is not enough for an ordinary book, falling to the floor, to break into fragments, like glass. Because here we are talking about a complete violation of the laws of substance.
A poltergeist does not manipulate objects, he manipulates them as if by a “soul”, some kind of hidden essence of everything that exists. This is his main mystery …
