| poltergeist coins: Poltergeists Rupert Matthews, 2018-09-10 Poltergeists like causing havoc. They throw things around in people's homes and play tricks with lights and household appliances. Mysterious voices, insistent knocking and weird shrieking can announce their presence, or sometimes it's peculiar smells with no apparent source (the whiff of pipe tobacco or lingering perfumes from another age). One day you might even see a poltergeist as it turns into a full-bodied apparition before your eyes. But beware, poltergeists can pinch, slap and sexually assault the living. An attack by a poltergeist can be among the most terrifying experiences that any human is likely to encounter. This book is an exploration of the phenomenon from earliest times to the present day, highlighting the activities of these phantoms, the efforts of researchers to document and understand what is going on as well as the explanations that have been put forward. |
| poltergeist coins: The Coins of Cyrus J M MacDonald, 2012-05-20 Davie Paterson's rather hum-drum truck-driving lifestyle is thrown into disarray when both he and his twelve year old daughter are inadvertently plunged into an alternative reality. For reasons beyond their comprehension, they find themselves navigating a strange new world where nothing is quite as it seems, a land where they have suddenly been targeted by a ruthless band of mercenaries who by all accounts seem hell-bent on their destruction. As the tension slowly mounts, so does the daunting realization of their imminent demise should they fail to solve a series of baffling conundrums cast mercilessly in their direction by a greater force. As they attempt to decipher these perplexing riddles, they soon discover the difficulties involved are increased tenfold by the onslaught of attacks by their deadly enemies whose unexplained hatred for them, and all they stand for, remains unfaltering. |

| poltergeist coins: Poltergeist! A New Investigation Into Destructive Haunting John Fraser, 2020-07-31 There are few factual books written about poltergeist phenomena, John's Fraser's Poltergeist! A New Investigation Into Destructive Haunting fills that void, advancing and updating Colin Wilson's work Poltergeist!, this study's namesake from over 38 years ago. Fraser takes readers on a journey from the Borley Rectory to the Isle of Man, and grounds his readers in an historical overview of 'Poltergeist phenomena'. He examines where such events overlap with other paranormal investigations of 'apparitional' ghosts. What do they have in common, what do they differ? To answer this, Fraser looks to new research on paranormal events, never before published in book form. Fraser contends, perhaps controversially, that ghost sightings are and always will be ambiguous and near-impossible to prove, that only Poltergeist phenomena can be empirically verified. |

| poltergeist coins: Poltergeist Over Scotland Geoff Holder, 2013-01-14 In 1945 the celebrated psi-researcher Harry Price published Poltergeist over England, popularising the word poltergeist (German for ‘noisy ghost’) and making famous the kind of physical haunting characterised by thrown objects, mysterious noises, and damage by fire or water. Now, for the first time, an astonishing array of historical Scottish poltergeist cases are gathered together, from the Middle Ages to the modern period - unearthing many episodes that have remained neglected for centuries. Some were no doubt hoaxes, but in others, multiple witnesses testified to disturbing events enacted over months. Whatever the true cause of the events, the historical evidence from Scotland suggests that poltergeist phenomena is undoubtedly real. |

| poltergeist coins: The Arabic Contributions to the English Language Garland Hampton Cannon, Alan S. Kaye, 1994 The largest and most up-to-date collection of English words and multiword units borrowed from the Arabic, directly or indirectly, totalling 2338 items. All major dictionaries in English were surveyed, including new-word collections, and college dictionaries.Each dictionary entry gives the fi rst recorded date of the loan in English, the semantic field, variant forms, etymology, the English definitions, derivative forms, and sometimes grammatical comment. The major sources of each entry are noted, along with the approximate degree of assimilation in English. A substantial part of the book is devoted to nontechnical analytical essays, which treat the forty-six semantic areas so as to embrace all disciplines and throw light on the individual subject. Other essays treat the phonological and linguistic aspects of the data, so as to show how languages in contact interact and ultimately influence each other's culture. This is a wide-ranging, innovational book that advances the study of comprehensive borrowing within languages over the centuries. |
| poltergeist coins: Hauntings and Poltergeists James Houran, Rense Lange, 2015-08-13 Few people can claim the distinction of experiencing first-hand such occurrences as hauntings and the presence of poltergeists, but countless numbers of people are fascinated by these unexplainable events. Written by the world's most knowledgeable authorities in this field, the essays in this work promote a better understanding of the manifestations of and various reasons for hauntings and poltergeist phenomena. The experts come from such backgrounds as anthropology, history, philosophy, psychiatry, and sociology, and provide sober yet highly readable in-depth discussions of numerous ideas and rationalizations for hauntings and poltergeists, from a critical and scientific perspective. Divided into three major sections--sociocultural, physical and physiological, and psychological perspectives--this work provides an overview of each perspective and also addresses the general psychology of belief in the paranormal and how that belief relates to experiences with ghosts and poltergeists. |

| poltergeist coins: Who's There? Colette Shires, 2008-09-01 'Then, adding horror to horror, a pair of thin, long-fingered hands placed themselves on my stomach and proceeded to inch their way up my body. They crawled underneath my own hands resting on my chest. I gripped the bony fingers to push them away, but I couldn't - I was not strong enough. As they neared my throat, I thought I was about to die.' When the Slater family heard what sounded like a baby crying in their new house, they had no idea that it was the beginning of a terrifying haunting that would last for more than thirty years, and follow them across the city. This is their story. |

However, often the only clues they leave to their existence are floating objects, broken or missing household items, strange noises, and other minor disturbances, always rendering the investigations of such claims inconclusive. Leaving room for both believers and skeptics, the author of this volume examines a smattering of reported poltergeist activity—from spooky to thrilling to playful—from around the world to better understand the nature of poltergeists and the likelihood of these seemingly paranormal occurrences. |
