Poltergeiste is a German term meaning a spirit or force capable of moving objects, making unusual noises, and sometimes even attacking people. This word reminds us that despite many centuries of research, science continues to grapple with the mysteries of unknown forces and phenomena that transcend our everyday experience.
The history of poltergeists is long and full of inexplicable events. It was on one of them that the famous English philosopher Joseph Glenville focused in the 17th century. It was in May 1662 when strange things began to happen in the house of John Mompesson, Justice of the Peace in the town of Tedworth. Glenville was one of the researchers who came to the site to track and document these disturbing phenomena.
Glenville recounted how every night the judge's children's beds trembled and inexplicable sounds came from the darkness - gasping, tapping, scratching. Despite careful inspection, the philosopher could not find the source of these sounds. To this day, these events remain unexplained, attributed to the action of a poltergeist - a spirit or force that is invisible to the human eye.
This is not the only case of poltergeists in history. Similar phenomena have been reported around the world. In 1848, in Hydesville, USA, sisters Margaret and Katie Fox claimed to be able to communicate with spirits by tapping. This story became one of the most famous poltergeist cases in American history.
The German Heidrich family from Rollingen experienced a similar phenomenon in 1967. In their house, objects moved by themselves, mysterious sounds appeared, and unfamiliar images appeared on the walls.
Even distant Japan is not free from poltergeist phenomena. In 1977, in the city of Horinuchi, the Hara family witnessed similar inexplicable phenomena.
Despite many scientific attempts to explain the poltergeist phenomenon, there is still no clear answer to the question of what causes it. Some scientists suggest that unconscious psychokinetic actions may be behind this, while others see the source of these phenomena in the action of spirits or supernatural forces. Still other theorists suggest that unknown energy fields may be behind the poltergeist phenomenon.
Despite these speculations and theories, the truth about poltergeists remains hidden. Science continues to grapple with these mysterious phenomena that seem to be beyond our understanding. But that doesn't mean we stop trying to understand them. Our curiosity and determination to discover the mysteries of the universe remains steadfast, and the poltergeist phenomenon will certainly continue to attract the attention of researchers.
