Incomprehensible noises and knocks, spontaneously moving objects, drops of water from nowhere and even spontaneous combustion - all this can be attributed to the "innocent pranks" of a poltergeist, a ghost that annoys the owners of the house, and sometimes causes them harm. But how to determine if a poltergeist has settled in the house, or you have become the victim of a stupid prank?
Many people are familiar with the phenomenon of poltergeist only from film adaptations of several films. But in order to understand where the interference of otherworldly forces takes place, and where there is a hoax, you need to study this phenomenon in more detail.
Signs of a poltergeist
1. Stormy poltergeist. It is quite difficult not to notice such a phenomenon. The spirit manifests itself very actively, often the feeling is created that someone is hooligan in the house. Manifestations of such a poltergeist in the house boil down to the fact that things disappear, and then appear in unexpected places, pipes can burst, a fire can break out, dishes break, corks burn out, etc. Phenomena of this kind are usually short-lived - from 2 to 3 months.
2. Sluggish poltergeist. Differs in the duration of the poltergeist - it looks scary! - phenomena can occur over many decades. Most often, such a poltergeist in the house manifests itself at night - incomprehensible sounds, steps, sighs and rustles are heard. On rare occasions, ghostly human figures appear. Such perfumes do not cause significant troubles to the owners of the house.
3. An imaginary poltergeist. Two options are possible here: firstly, signs can live exclusively in the consciousness of a person. In this case, appropriate medical attention is required. Secondly (and more often) a person can become the object of someone's joke or even revenge.

How to recognize an imaginary poltergeist
This can be done in two ways: scientific and mystical. First, you can secretly put several hidden cameras in the house and see what kind of "poltergeist" has settled in the house. This will allow you not only to make sure that you are being hoaxed, but also to find out who is doing it. The disadvantage of this method is the rather high cost of video equipment. The "mystical" way is to observe pets. Dogs and cats always react to the presence of a poltergeist in the house.
Life stories
1. Soaked the forester
A case of interference from otherworldly forces was recorded in 1987 in East Germany, in a forest gatehouse. The forester appeared in the lodge only periodically, no one lived in it all the time. The poltergeist made itself known throughout the summer, so several groups of researchers were able to study it thoroughly.
At first, the ceiling of the hut was covered with drops, and after a few minutes it started to rain in the room. It stopped for no reason and just as suddenly as it began. There were wet spots on the ceiling, while the roof of the hut was completely dry. The water samples were sent to the laboratory for testing. It turned out that the water was tap - it contained chlorine. Where it came from in the forest is unknown.
2. Bloody rains
Sometimes the manifestations of a poltergeist in the house are very unpleasant. One of the most famous cases occurred in France, in the suburbs of San Quentin.
In the house where the young Belmer couple lived, strange red spots began to appear on the walls. It was impossible to wash them to the end, but … after a while the spots disappeared by themselves in order to show through in other places, moreover, in even greater quantities. These stains showed up everywhere - on the floor, on the ceiling, on the windows and walls, and even on duvet covers with pillows.
Panic seized the spouses, and they left the restless building, but the poltergeist remained in the house. Whole pools of red viscous liquid began to appear in the rooms. As the examination established, it was human blood of the fourth group. Its total amount would be enough to bleed a very large number of people. However, there have never been any cases of exsanguination in France.
3. Revenge of the witches burned at the stake
In 2004, the town of Canneto di Caronia was attacked by mystical forces. In just two weeks, over several dozen cases of spontaneous combustion of household appliances and furniture were recorded there. Everything was on fire - from toasters and TVs to beds and wardrobes.
The police had to evacuate 40 residents of the city, whose houses burned to the ground. One of the policemen confessed that he had seen with his own eyes that unconnected electrical cables were on fire. Local residents began to say that the phenomena taking place were the intrigues of witches who were burned during the Inquisition.
Poltergeist in the house - methods of dealing with an intruder
Needless to say, poltergeists, whose photos are so interesting to view on the Internet, are very annoying neighbors that everyone would gladly get rid of. A universal "exterminator of evil spirits" has not yet been invented, and therefore if a "noisy spirit" has settled in your house, then try one of these methods:
1. Strongly curse the spirit. This method has been known since ancient times in Russia - the evil spirits are afraid of the mat.
2. If the floor is covered with parquet or boards, you can try the following method. Find a knot, use the blade of a new knife to circle a triangle around it, and then sharply stick the knife into the knot.
3. Take a little feather and down from the pillows, burn them, and smoke all rooms in the house with smoke.
4. Offer the spirit a deck of cards in exchange for leaving. Buy a deck and empty it in a hard-to-reach place. If the cards disappear, it means that the poltergeist decided to leave the house alone.
5. Buy a cat of the Egyptian breed. But the spirit will not be afraid of her if the animal is very lazy.
6. Sometimes you can get rid of the poltergeist in the house by sprinkling the apartment with holy water and reading the prayer "Our Father".
7. Thoroughly search all rooms in the house for lining - a magical means to spoil. The lining can be made in the form of a pupa, a bag with earth, hair, needles, etc.
Is the poltergeist dangerous?
Most mystics and researchers studying the phenomena of poltergeist in the house agree that a “noisy spirit” does not represent a purely physical threat.
In most cases, this phenomenon occurs with people who have experienced a strong emotional shock. It is categorically contraindicated for such people to even think about poltergeists, photos of which are now in large numbers posted on the Web.
However, a poltergeist can cause significant harm to the human psyche. The best thing to do is to ignore the antics of the "noisy spirit", ignore him until he gets bored. Of course, these recommendations do not apply to spontaneous fires, which are usually caused not by a poltergeist in the house, but by much more powerful otherworldly forces.
