Poltergeist : a classic study in destructive haunting

Wilson, Colin 1931-2013 (Author).

Summary: Banging noises and disembodied voices, coming from nowhere and everywhere. Furniture chasing people through the house. Pots and pans and knives and knick-knacks flying through the air. These are the hallmarks of the poltergeist phenomenon. This book on destructive hauntings examines the evidence and develops a theory of the poltergeist phenomenon.
