Poltergeist Noise

New creepy sound at MyNoise!

Poltergeist : from German, from Poltern to bang + Geist ghost. Poltergeists are spirits supposed to manifest their presence by making loud sounds such as banging doors or moving heavy objects.

Do they exist? In 'The Acoustic Properties of Unexplained Rapping Sounds’ {Journal of the Society for Psychical Research, 2010, Vol 73.2 Number 899 pp 65-93}, Dr. Colvin writes : "Ever since my personal involvement in the investigation of a rapping poltergeist at Andover, Hampshire, in which it was absolutely clear that no normal explanation could account for the observed phenomena, I wondered whether the recorded raps were in any way different to those produced by normal methods. It is now clear that they are indeed different."

Should we worry? Maybe... but worry about the quality of the Society for Psychical Research's reviewing process first!
