POLTERGEIST
Knock, knock. Who’s there?
Malicious spirits give you a scare.
Pound, pound goes your heart
This game won’t end ‘til they depart.
Poltergeists, ghosts or entities who've mastered the hair-raising art of making weird sounds and moving objects, are known to manifest in households with volatile teens, usually girls.
They're the paranormal equivalent of a home wrecker. Often overturning furniture and blowing up lightbulbs. Polts cause sleepless nights for their victims, induce terror, perform harmless pranks that may quickly escalate from rapping on tables, moving furniture, emitting foul smells, and slamming doors to scratching, biting, and even sexual molestation.
Not quite Casper, eh? You may want to get in on the Rue Morgue event to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the film, Poltergeist, to get a better feel for the beasties. FYI, Rue Morgue is Canada's coolest horror magazine, a real scream.
SURVIVAL TIP: Poltergeists don't have much staying power, a year, tops. Thankfully, they seem to leave as abruptly as they enter our lives. You can wait it out, or contact your local medium or ghostbusting paranormal investigators to give it a shot. Alright, let's have it - what "P" creature trumps a polt?
