Abstract
Poltergeist-type occurrences were reported in a private residence in Florida
from November 1996 to January 1997. In addition to movement of objects and other
typical RSPK manifestations, unexplained appearance of water was described. The
family believed the house to be "haunted." Several techniques were employed
to investigate the phenomena. The premises were tested with a magnetometer and
non-contact thermometer. The location was photographed and psychological
examinations were administered to three primary witnesses. Correlations between
geomagnetic/electromagnetic activity and the alleged paranormal events were
studied. Psychological tests indicated that one of the witnesses conformed to
the profile of a "poltergeist personality," an adolescent with a low
tolerance for frustration, repressing feelings of aggression and hostility.
Neuropsychological questionnaires suggested temporal lobe lability in two of the
witnesses, including the apparent poltergeist agent. Magnetic field strengths at
several locations where unexplained phenomena had been reported differed
significantly from magnetic field strengths in locations where no unusual
phenomena had been reported.
