POLTERGEIST

Poltergeists or "Noisy Ghosts" are manifestations that break objects, slam doors, and over turn furniture. They date back to the dawn of History. To this day no one for certain can say what exactly Poltergeists are.
      A lot of Paranormal Investigators have linked some of the "Poltergeist" cases to Telekinesis. Telekinesis is the ability to move an object with a highly focused mind. When an object is seen "floating" through the air and then crashing against a wall or doors opening and slamming shut, people naturally assume it is the work of a Poltergeist, like a throw-back to ancient times when such things were said to be Devils and Demons, obviously we have not yet evolved beyond such blind accusations.
In some cases people find that it was not a Poltergeist at all - though I do not doubt that such things exist - instead they find that it was their own mind, either manifesting a Thought-Form or causing the violent actions through the above-mentioned Telekinesis due to tremendous Psychological tension.
A good example of Telekinetic force caused by Psychological tension and
Trauma is the movie "Carrie," though the phenomena in the movie persisted even after she became conscious of her ability, which doesn't seem to be the case for most people in reality.
          A lot of known Poltergeist activity seems to manifest around
Power Plants, Massive Towers, and where a large number of power lines criss-
cross on telephone poles - which are unnatural counterparts to Lay-Lines, the natural cross-points of which also seem to manifest such activity. This particular evidence supports a longstanding theory that Poltergeists are intelligent beings made entirely of energy, it cannot be said whether they are good or evil - Lions eat animals, they are not evil. Poltergeists seem to feed off the surrounding energy, whether it electrical or emotional. Some Poltergeists seem to thrive on negative energy under this theory.
Under the Telekinesis theory it can be said that places of high energy
Concentration, can open up mental pathways that have long been dormant in the Human Psyche, such an opening can send the mind into an unseen shock ? thus making it susceptible to Psychological Stressors around and within.
          There are many different types of energy:
                    1.) Bio-electromagnetic Energy (The Life Force within all
                       living things/Synergistic by nature, mix between
                      various forms of energy, including Kinetic)-
                      Manifesting in Humans, Animals and Plants.
                    2.) Kinetic Energy- Movement-Something in motion.
                    3.) Electricity (Electric Energy)- Protons/Electrons
                          Manifesting Positive/Negative charges in
                      virtually everything.
                    4.) Static Energy- Sitting still
                      This is the potential of Kinetic energy, though they
                      are all synchronized, without one there cannot
                      exist the other.
                    5.) Thermal Energy- Heat, Friction can make Thermal Energy.
                    6.) Chemical Energy (Liquid Energy)- Like gas in a car,
                          Chemical Energy feeds Kinetic Energy while Chemical
                      Energy could not manifest as Energy without being
                      fed by Kinetic Energy, both are set into motion by
                      potential Static Friction.
                    7.) "Other Energy"- there are many "Other" types of Energy
                      that have yet to be classified by any form of
                      mainstream science, such as one mentioned as
                      'Emotional Energy' which has undeniable consequences
                      on matter itself.
                  
Many people who claim to have a Poltergeist often say when it is in the room they can feel a "Cold Spot". It is possible that this Cold Spot is just a natural manifestation of fear, which is basic Human Behavior, when something cannot be explained by our current model of logic. When the idea of a Poltergeist enters our minds we tend to get jumpy, becoming easily frightened by even the simplest thing. We get goose bumps because of some sensation brought on by fear, though it is mainly attributed to a 'cold spot' because the basic male machismo is apt to deny being afraid of something that is not there, either consciously or unconsciously, that is not to say that there is no 'Cold Spot'. Fear is understandable though when you think of the connotations the term "Poltergeists" carries with it. Such a word conjures images of the tortured dead whom have been upset from a long slumber, or one who refuses to rest. Images of mangled decaying forms come to mind, moaning and clanking chains, demonic voices, cold to the touch.
What is more frightening than the opposite of being alive and understanding life? Nothing more than something which can be said to be the living dead in one form or another. So I say again, fear is quite understandable.
It may indeed grow cold when there are Poltergeists or Ghosts around, but there are also simple cold spots -which are devoid of Thermal Energy, either because the space is occupied by a plant or because there is a lot of shade. This is just one of the many theories on what the mysterious "Cold Spot" could possibly be, though they are not ruled out.
