Poltergeists in Bath
Poltergeist in German folklore means "noisy ghost"
First recorded in the Dark Ages
Activities include throwing objects, moving objects, banging, scratching, whistling, growling, emitting smells, singing and talking and can be violent and destructive.
Some of this could be intelligent spirits which have turned violent and threatening for whatever reason like, if renovations have started or an object has been moved or disturbed.
But it could also be in some cases another phenomena called a PK haunting- Psychokinesis.
Which can be caused by a person in a household, subconsciously usually an adolescent girl, but it can also be found in boys and older adults.
The subject is usually in the midst of emotional turmoil and an unconscious energy is created with most activity centre around that person, starting slowly and subtlety and then increasing in intensity.
Usually these come and go as quickly as they start.
Poltergeist activity is also the easiest to hoax, with so-called activity now being more and more inventive especially with the surge of social media
Reported poltergeist activity in Bath includes the case at Cameley Green, Twerton, in the 1970's, Holloway, Belvedere, Camden Crescent, The Circus and the Salamander, The Curfew & Raven pubs.
