Poltergeists: Noisy Ghosts or Household Spirits?

Poltergeists: Noisy Ghosts or Household Spirits?

This episode of Fabulous Folklore begins with a reading of the Poltergeist entry from my new book, Ghostlore, before we explore the problem with poltergeists - how do you define one?!

From deciding what phenomena to include to picking a name, the poltergeist proves to be a flexible yet elusive figure in historical accounts.

Is that spontaneous fire a religious portent, or a poltergeist? And did a household spirit turn the kitchen upside down...or was it a poltergeist? You get the idea.

Let's look at the poltergeist in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
