Things moving for no apparent reason, strange laughter in an empty apartment, someone's tangible presence - many have come across something that cannot be explained in the usual coordinate system. Someone is looking for a reason in the deception of perception, someone admits the existence of the otherworldly.
And they also learned the opinion of a person close to science about the poltergeist and the possibilities of his physical nature.
The sneakers were moving along the corridor
Elena Ischenko. We have a house for 20 years in the Red Army, 61. There, they say, there used to be a cemetery. And in our whole house something was happening; we think we have a brownie. Everyone can hear him stomp. If you put sweets behind the refrigerator, they will disappear in the morning. He loves nuts very much - his grandfather puts them on purpose. He named him Mikhludka. Once my mother and I were sitting in the kitchen, I baked pies. I turned around - one fell, and a piece was cut off from it. Well, who could? There was no one around. Different things happen all the time: the light can turn on itself, the sneakers start moving along the corridor, something is knocking, clapping. We are somehow used to it, we are not afraid. He's completely harmless. Everything that happened did not touch us personally. He even warned about the danger: if someone is going to get sick, he will come and lie down next to him. You could clearly see how the bed was pressed. He was already almost a member of the family. Knocksfor example, on a vacuum cleaner, and we are already shouting: "Remove the vacuum cleaner, Mikhludka doesn't like it!"
We often saw people walking along the corridor. Gone and disappeared in the area of the toilet. Not that you can clearly see it, but with a peripheral vision you notice that someone is passing. Mom said that there was some kind of move. Nothing terrible has ever happened, but it feels like someone in the apartment is living their own life in parallel.
Do I believe in the supernatural? I, frankly, did not think much. Even now I talk about it and think: from the outside, they will say that the person is crazy. But sometimes it seems that there is something like that. Grandmother said that she somehow went to bed (it was in another house), someone came, wrapped her hair around her neck and said: "If I don't strangle you now, your husband will die, if I strangle you, he will live." She somehow escaped, and a few days later her first husband died.

Where did the salt go?
Marina Larikova. Recently: my daughter and I go to bed. I’m already falling asleep and through my sleep I hear a woman’s laugh or sigh. I wake up abruptly. It's getting scary. But I quickly convince myself that I was dreaming. And then the daughter's voice: "Mom, who said that now?"
When we lived with a colleague in a rented apartment, a couple of times we saw the image of a man there. More precisely, a colleague saw him.
At first I thought it was my boyfriend, but he did not have the keys to the apartment, and his voice was different. I get scared and I want to wake up / get up. I decided that I would scream. Several attempts were unsuccessful, I could not squeeze out a sound. But then finally I screamed, and then the obsession disappeared, silence reigned in the apartment. I think it's all brain games.
Mom, move the curtain
Ekaterina Kiryushkina. In 2013, my grandmother died. The house was already empty, the lights were turned off everywhere, at about midnight they left somewhere. In the first hour, the neighbors call, they say that the light is on in my grandmother's bedroom. We are like: "It can't be", we come - the light is on. Turned off, left. Half an hour later they call again: it is on. Have arrived. Mom is already in tears, says to grandmother: "Mom, if you are here, move at least a curtain!" And the curtain began to move. No draft, nothing.
You owe me
Sofia Sabanovskaya. My house was renovated, we just laid the floor. The apartment is through: my room, corridor and hall. And half asleep I hear footsteps in the corridor, so small and small. And then I got up, I looked: there were some silhouettes in the dark. I don't know what it was. Then she lay down again, and it never happened again. And my mother told me that she somehow slept on the couch, and someone sat down on her. She felt a weight, at first she thought that it was me who sat down, but could not get up.
My grandfather told me one case. They had a dacha in a very criminal suburban village. Fence, a chain hangs on the fence. Summer, night, calm weather. And the grandfather hears the chain knocking, but no one comes in. He went out, and there is a healthy silhouette of a man, his face is not visible. He says, "You owe me." The grandfather replies that he does not owe anything, asks to leave. He again: “You owe me,” and then he says: “I'll come back for you,” and it just seems to dissolve. The grandfather did not understand what it was.
Let them go to the pantry
Larisa Zhitnushkina. Our neighbors lost a son, a young guy. A lot of time has passed, the daughter got married, left for another area to her husband and began to call her parents to her. They got ready, the house was already put up for sale, some of the things were sold. And in the neighboring village there is a woman who had a clinical death, she said that she communicates with the other world. Everyone twisted their fingers to their temples: something was wrong with the head of a person after an illness. And so she comes to a friend of her neighbors, says that this guy came to her in a dream, said to tell her parents not to move: it will not be good. And if they don’t believe, then let them go into the closet, on such and such a shelf there are such and such things, pick them up, and under them there will be my favorite sweater - my mother gave it, she will understand.
Friends discussed it, decided to tell a neighbor. She didn’t believe it, but decided to go see it together. And indeed in the closet under such things they found a sweater. The neighbor could not understand how he got there, she said, she had not seen him for a hundred years. As a result, they did not move, they removed the house from sale. A year later, the daughter divorced her husband and returned.
Vladimir Krupko, Director of the Omsk Planetarium
Krupko considers poltergeist to be a real phenomenon with a physical nature that has not yet been studied. At the same time, the otherworldly, the world of spirits for him is a matter of faith, that which does not lie in the plane of the demonstrable and cannot be subject to investigation, and therefore deserves skepticism.
I absolutely know that the poltergeist is real, fearing to impose threats on those who oversee science. I think this needs to be studied. Our world, as we are accustomed to believe, is not fully cognized, therefore, of course, there are processes that we have no idea about.
The paradigm is gradually expanding, what we thought was unscientific yesterday may become scientific tomorrow. Poltergeist phenomena exist, I have seen enough of this in my life. I observed, for example, this: there is a glass, next to it is a quartz crystal. There was a woman, she looked, and the glass exploded in front of my eyes. She says: "Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to."
We had one case for 50 years of Trade Unions, where cabinets fell, everything around caught fire. This happened when the teenager was in the house. They called the firefighters, they say: a child, matches, fire - look for the reason here. In this house, we worked a lot, made plans for electromagnetic, electric fields. A powerful point was marked near the cabinet. Moreover, we did not tell the owners about this, and when we came in the morning, their wardrobe fell in that very place.
When we arrived for 50 years of Trade Unions, psychics were with us. We just recorded the physics of this process there, and then they worked with their own methods and, it seems, removed the poltergeist. I ask, "What have you done?"
For a person, these phenomena, as a rule, are neutral - except for the psychological trauma that he receives: glasses, objects fly, cabinets fall. There was a case at the Irtysh embankment, 14. An explosion occurred on the second floor, and above there was a man who said that his poltergeist began with such an event. They were sitting, talking with his wife, when suddenly there was a noise in the kitchen. They rushed there - a kitchen cabinet fell. And he showed - the cabinet was nailed to the floor. It felt like he was just moved - the nails bent over. And the cabinet would have fallen on the child, but at the moment of falling it caught on the edge of the refrigerator.
Then an explosion occurred on the second floor - furniture broke, pieces of glass stuck out in the walls, a hole in the concrete floor. The man was sitting at that moment on the sofa and a thought flashed through him: now there will be an explosion. And a minute before that, absolutely all the entrance doors rang. Those who left heard the explosion. So, the corner of the wall a meter away from the person literally endured, and there was not a scratch on him.
I think it has to do with the person anyway. He is most likely the catalyst for these processes. Or maybe there is some kind of increased energy in this place (but energy is such a general word, for science it is nothing). The literature describes that adolescents, a period of about 11 years, have poltergeist phenomena. I saw how a fire is lit near the child - the so-called pyrokinesis. We had two such cases in Omsk.
