In some cases extreme poltergeist activity has been linked to demons.
Hauntings are usually related to a specific place or where a tragedy has happened.
The differences between poltergeist activity and a haunting can be hard to distinguish.
In the early stages of poltergeist activity it may be impossible.
Hauntings and poltergeists do share basic aspects, (apparitions, strange noises, odours, moving or disappearing objects, etc.).
There are also some points that make them very different:-
Poltergeists are usually linked directly to a specific person or object.
Hauntings are appearances of ghost(s) in areas known to the deceased before their deaths. Poltergeists can be triggered by a living person's trauma in any area, at any time.
Haunting activities are continuous over time, concentrated in the same area.
Poltergeists build up over time to a climax, then seem to start all over again. They can travel anywhere. Hauntings are not violent. Most poltergeists nearing the climax of their energy can become dangerous to the living. If you are experiencing this kind of phenomena please handle with the utmost care.
