What is the difference between a poltergeist and a ghost?
The name poltergeist is from the german words- poltern, to make noise and geist- ghost. This is an entity that manifests through rapping on walls, making strange noises and/or hurling objects. However, many ghosts hunters agree that poltergeist activity isn’t the work of any ghosts at all. It is believed to be Recurrent Spontaneous Psychokinesis- This theory states that psychokinetic energy may unconsciously leave the body of an emotionally charged person, usually an adolescent, an randomly do its damage. Simply put, its means that when some people get mad, usually kids going through puberty, they can do the mind-over-matter thing- they just don’t realize that they’re doing it.
