The Borley Rectory Poltergeist

Posted on September 4, 2007

Borley RectoryThe Borley Rectory Poltergeist is probably the most famous case of poltergeist activity. Borley Rectory was built in 1863 in Great Britain.

In the early 1930′s a fellow named Lionel Foyster lived there. Foyster kept a journal in which he recorded poltergeist activity he had seen and experienced.

There were literally thousands of events written in that journal. It seems that a poltergeist is a little bit different from the average ghost. Most researchers agree that a poltergeist is not a ghost, but is instead a manifestation of a some unknown energy. Opinions differ widely as to what the source of that energy is.

This is why poltergeists are known for noise and disturbance. Whatever the source, the energy responsible is a violent one.

    so is a poltergeist and a demon the same?

    • Caretaker says:

      The word “poltergeist” came from the German word “poltern,” which means to “rumble”, “bluster”, or “jangle”, and “geist,” which means “spirit.” “Poltern” can also be used in describing an act of speech: speaking loudly and abrasively. Although poltergeist literally means “noisy spirit,” a poltergeist is neither a spirit nor a ghost according to paranormal and parapsychology experts. Usually described as an invisible force and entity, the nature of poltergeists has long been a subject of debate within paranormal circles.
