Poltergeist Phenomena: A Primer on
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a basic primer for paranormal enthusiasts on the current state of parapsychological research and perspectives relating to phenomena traditionally labeled “poltergeist.” Topics such as case characteristics, experimental approaches, theoretical aspects, and the similarities and differences between poltergeist and haunt cases are discussed and supplemented with illustrative examples and anecdotes from the published case literature.

Poltergeists, Electromagnetism and Consciousness
Poltergeist occurrences are displays of energy that induce the movement of common household objects which ordinarily are held in place by inertia and gravity. At the same time the events reflect psychological tension between the central person and others, including investigators. Thus, the phenomenon combines physical and psychological processes. It is commonly referred to as recurrent spontane...
متن کاملPOLTERGEIST functions to regulate meristem development downstream of the CLAVATA loci.
Mutations at the CLAVATA loci (CLV1, CLV2 and CLV3) result in the accumulation of undifferentiated cells at the shoot and floral meristems. We have isolated three mutant alleles of a novel locus, POLTERGEIST (POL), as suppressors of clv1, clv2 and clv3 phenotypes. All pol mutants were nearly indistinguishable from wild-type plants; however, pol mutations provided recessive, partial suppression ...
متن کاملCase report: a prototypical experience of 'poltergeist' activity, conspicuous quantitative electroencephalographic patterns, and sLORETA profiles - suggestions for intervention.
People who report objects moving in their presence, unusual sounds, glows around other people, and multiple sensed presences but do not meet the criteria for psychiatric disorders have been shown to exhibit electrical anomalies over the right temporal lobes. This article reports the striking quantitative electroencephalography, sLORETA results, and experimental elicitation of similar subjective...
متن کاملPredictions of the Model of Pragmatic Information about Rspk
The model of pragmatic information (MPI) is applied to RSPK phenomena and leads to several predictions. The first prediction is that RSPK phenomena show two clusters of phenomena, which can be considered as structural and functional anomalous RSPKphenomena. RSPK-phenomena are considered as a kind of external psychosomatic reaction, expressing a hidden problem, which cannot be recognized by th...
