There seems to be no reason why such incidents take place and no form of pattern. Most attacks are on individuals who have a strong religious belief, however, as usual this is not always the case. As you may probably guess, investigating such claims can be difficult. The one thing that does stand out is that all other forms of poltergeist activity can take place simultaneously, indicating a possible connection to infestations. Physical marks have also allegedly been witnessed, the so called after effects of such an attack. In some cases, bringing in specialised equipment can supress or reduce the possibility of poltergeist activity taking place. However, in most cases poltergeist activity seems to take place outside the view of video or photographic equipment. Some investigators refer to poltergeist's as alleged spirits, but it is not a spirit in the spiritualistic sense. I believe I am right in stating that spiritualists or mediums do not accept the poltergeist as a discarnate entity, (the ghost that once was a man), but rather as an 'elemental' or Nature Spirit; a being evolved from, or constituting the lower elemental nature of man. Thus possibly created by man himself. Objects are seldom seen to rise, or leave their normal stationary positions. However, there are rare exceptions to this general rule. In Vienna, on May 1st 1926, during an investigation. An investigator claimed to see a cushion on a chair begin to move, then it appeared to hesitate, and then it slipped quietly to the floor. It was just as though the cushion knew that the investigator was looking at it and decided not to make a real flight. It was caught in the act as it were.
Poltergeist projected missiles behave very strangely. Most witness report almost being hit by an object which would have certainly been dangerous if it had struck them. However, in cases of projectiles, there are very few that have hit people. This seems to indicate that the poltergeist wants the witness to experience the worry of an object hitting them. If the projectile hit the witness and caused an nasty injury, the witness may vacate the building on a permanent basis, which would possibly be a disadvantage to the poltergeist, as we believe that the energy to create such object movement is taken from those in close proximity to the phenomena and then this energy is manipulated into activity which the witnesses see and become upset, worried, and stressful. These conditions may cause a heightened form of energy that once again the poltergeist uses, and the cycle continues. This causes the witness many psychological problems, be it sleep disorders, panic attacks, phobias or mental injuries and vexation.
Some object are seen to fly through the air slowly and then crash to the ground, however there are those who say that they have seen objects fly through the air very fast and then the have fallen very hard to the floor and not broken when they should have done. Some objects are found to be hot or warm to the touch, indicating molecular manipulation. Especially those objects that have seemed to pass through walls or ceilings. Some object fall to the floor as if they had an unnatural trajectory. There are those who believe in the fourth dimension theory. Some poltergeists have even thrown stones at windows from outside. When the case was investigated by the police. They found the stones to be scrubbed clean. Even more unusual was that there were no stones like this for miles around. Witnesses also reported seeing the stones pass through a previous whole in the window as if the stones had guided themselves in some way. Object are rarely seen to travel upwards, this may indicate a more difficult poltergeist action.
