I’m including the poltergeist under the “other” type of ghosts for a reason. When we break down the term poltergeist, it is a German word for “noisy ghost“. And while it very could be the soul of a departed human being, there is much evidence to suggest this phenomenon is a psychic projection instead. When poltergeists manifest, they frequently seem to revolve around teenagers. Young women, to be exact. So there is a theory that the phenomenon is actually the young woman’s pent-up emotions being pushed out into the environment wreaking havoc on those around it. Including the teenager doing the actual projecting. Now, could this be just a theory and could poltergeists be something else entirely? Of course.
