To mark the fact that I’ve got two books on poltergeists coming out, a series of interviews with the humble if prolix author have been posted on that there YouTube.
The interviews concentrate on both the ebook What is a Poltergeist? – Understanding Poltergeist Activity and the conventional book Poltergeist Over Scotland. For the former, which will be available for download soon, I discuss the nine different theories/beliefs that have been put forward over the centuries to explain poltergeists:
- Demons
- Witchcraft
- Ghosts
- Fairies
- Vampires
- Psychokinesis (powers of the mind)
- Tulpas (thoughtforms)
- Hoaxes
- Natural forces (electromagnetism, geomagnetism, earth movements etc.)
These are illustrated with cases from throughout the world, including America, Europe and Asia.
When discussing Poltergeist over Scotland I talk about some of the 134 cases I’ve uncovered over the past 400 years. This is the first ever history of Scottish poltergeists.
The interview clips are being released in 16 parts over the next week or so, both on this website here and on YouTube. Collect the set!
This coming Sunday (December 10) I have a return engagement with those fine gentlemen of the airwaves, Paul and Ben Eno on their ‘Behind the Paranormal’ radio show.
