The 5 stages of Poltergeists

The word poltergeist comes from the German poltern, "to knock" and geist, "spirit." A poltergeist haunting usually consists of noises and objects moving about on their own. There may also be voices and smells. Usually these phenomena are witnessed by a number of people. Events tend to start slowly with small noises and small objects moving, and progress to more dramatic events like furniture flying around. The precise events differ greatly.
Usually, one particular person seems more affected than others and is always present when events occur. There is a tendency for this person to be a pre-pubescent girl, although boys or older girls are also occasionally involved.

Many believe that it is this person causing the activity, although they are not aware of it. They may be under some unusual amount of stress and when they are relived of the stress the problems stop.

Poltergeists are often very similar to other types of spirit hauntings. Usually, an investigator will try to rule out a poltergeist problem before starting an investigation into possible spirit activity.
There are 5 stages concerning poltergeist activity these are...

Stage 1. Attacking the senses
