Poltergeist
A poltergeist is a mischievous and often invisible spirit believed to cause unexplained physical disturbances, such as objects moving, loud noises, or even harm in a household. In contemporary culture, it's frequently depicted in horror stories and paranormal investigations, serving as a symbol of unresolved emotions or psychological stress rather than purely supernatural forces. While skeptics attribute these events to fraud or natural causes, believers see them as evidence of the unseen world.

The famous Enfield Poltergeist case in North London from 1977 to 1979 involved a single mother and her daughters experiencing over 2,000 reported incidents, including levitating objects and voices, which drew international media attention and was investigated by the Society for Psychical Research. Astonishingly, similar poltergeist phenomena have been documented in more than 500 cases worldwide over the past two centuries, often linked to adolescents going through puberty, suggesting a possible psychological connection rather than pure supernatural activity.
