Quick takeaways

• Poltergeists are associated with strange phenomena such as objects moving and flying without any visible cause, and the phenomena often center around a specific person or location.

• The causes of poltergeist activity can be either natural, such as physical phenomena and misperceptions, or paranormal, involving spirits or recurrent spontaneous psychokinesis (RSPK) triggered by stress.

• Resolving poltergeist cases involves educating and supporting affected families, addressing psychological stressors or deceptive behaviors if natural causes are identified, and considering interventions like exorcism or assistance for spirits if a paranormal cause is determined.
