The Curious Case of the Hull Poltergeist
Leanne Fennell, 20, of Hull - "victim" of poltergeist activity.
News in the Daily Telegraph today that a young woman has been evicted from her home in Hull after a Poltergeist was throwing noisy parties in her house. But of course! Any other cynic would have disbelieved her, but I would be inclined to be charitable to the young woman. There is however one small problem:
Although "poltergeist" literally means "noisy spirit," genuine poltergeist incidents always seem to centre around one particular living individual, who is exteriorising psychological imbalance in the form of uncontrolled psychic phenomena. In other words, Poltergeist are ghosts not of the dead, but of the living.
The uncomfortable truth then is that even if this young woman was not faking it outright, she was probably responsible for the poltergeist phenomena inadvertantly.
But anywho: this whole story got me thinking about what loud music a Poltergeist would actually put on if it was putting on a party? I therefore present my Ghostly Top Ten:
