Evidence
In the early 1840's a young man arrived at Mr. and Mrs. Bell's house. He was invited to stay a few nights, by the maid. The maid was fired soon after, but rehired. When she came back she had seen that the young man was gone and much of his things were being used in the kitchen and it wasn't until she found out the young man was murdered during her absense. She then started to think that the house was haunted by poltergeists. ("Poltergeists!", 2001)
Theories
People have described poltegeists as troublesome spirits who haunt a particular person instead of a speicific place. ("Poltergeists!", 2001) People have also believed that the activity is caused by a person, this person is usually an adolesnt girl, and is normally troubled emotionally. They also think that in some cases of poltergeists have turned out to be both "intelligent" spirits and the work of agents. ("Poltergeists", 2016)
