In case you haven't seen it already: Alex Tsakiris, host of the "Skeptiko" podcast has recently published a book. It goes by the very modest title "Why Science Is Wrong…About Almost Everything". Maybe he'd like to talk about it on another podcast. why science is wrong… about almost...

With the sheer overwhelming amount of trickery and mischievousness by the alleged focus persons which eventually shows up in most of these cases, it's hard to believe there is anything else going on but hoaxes. Maybe we should just agree on that and move on. We shouldn't get obsessed with these...

Those are all damn good. I'm a big fan of E guitar sounding music, though, and I just like the whole mood of No 3.

Absolutely. As long as there are no convincing third-party witness reports, that would definitely be what has to be investigated first, besides all possible natural causes for the alleged phenomena. But you see, I don't think that all the police officers (Enfield, Lindley St), fire fighters...

Oof. Sorry, I didn't watch the video prior to posting. Did it just now. I hadn't even heard abot the TB test kit. That has to be the spookiest coincidence I've ever heard of. About the elevator doors, I've no idea. If they had stayed open to the end of the video, I'd just call it a malfunction...

Well, seems it got what it wanted then.:rolleyes: That's just a sad story. Did you watch the movie "Dark Water"? I think she might have been "reenacting" the movie or rather the (I think) japanese original, or maybe she was obsessed with the novel that was the basis of the movie versions...

Well, I tried producing a voice like that. It's actually not difficult. But after a minute or so, I had to clear my throat to speak normally. Doing it for longer would quite clearly lead to some hoarseness. What Mr. Grosse thought remarkable is that she could keep it up for hours. Not...

Well, yeah, scary. But if you've seen the footage made when Janet was producing "the voice" (with her sister Margaret sitting beside her), that's much less scary, because the two of them seem to be grinning like fools all the time. It's kind of understandable that people often think they are...

"Poltergeist" may be a german term, but there are actually relatively few prominent cases here in Germany (the actual number is probably much higher, but I'll get to that). Like UFO sightings and other paranormal claims, poltergeist cases are as a rule ridiculed in the media and considered...

You know, I think the real Jean Luc Picard would say "when venturing into the unknown, be it among the stars or between your ears, you have to keep an open mind". ;)

Gern geschehen (you're welcome). Thanks for the honorable mention on the last show, I really appreciate it.

Yes, he mentioned this activity. There is a detailed account in the book of the experiences of one of the neighbours at the time. Mr Hall said in the interview that at least two other houses seem to have been affected but the witnesses didn't want to be interviewed for the book. So, I guess he's...

Why do you think the investigators ignored these events or dismissed them? I got the impression that Mr Hall tried to get more information about these phenomena, but the witnesses, if he could reach them, didn't want to appear in the book. And he does have some of these events in the book. Other...

Originally, I wanted to post this story (about "Pete the Polt") in the Lindley Street Poltergeist thread to substantiate my claim that not all "Poltergeist" type cases center around adolescent girls or teens and have dark or demonic undertones. But then I found this documentary about it which I...

Great show. I was listening to it in bed, half asleep (through no fault of the the guest or hosts, of course, I was just tired) when Don started to describe his original sighting. As these things go when you're at the verge of sleep, the whole story seemed to unfold before my own eyes. When the...

Sorry, but it's like we're not talking about the same thing here. I have no idea what "literature" you're referring to. None of the Poltergeist cases I've read of (for example in William G. Roll's "The Poltergeist") or watched documentaries about (Enfield, Rosenheim) ended in incarceration...

(moved from question thread here) Meaning what exactly? That she hoaxed it all because she hated her foster parents, and that's why she left them as soon as she could? Sorry, but that's pure conjecture on your part. Mr Hall's says in his book that she was a quiet and content child, not unhappy...

This is the vimeo page of Dr Barrie Colvin who conducted the poltergeist sounds study. Seems like a very interesting guy to interwiev. If he can't be reached via the page above, he also has a youtube channel: Barrie Colvin - YouTube

Here's a downloadable PDF on Dr Barrie Colvin's poltergeist sounds study mentioned in the opening thread, for anyone who's interested. http://www.poltergeist.org.uk/storage/pdf-files/Unexplained%20Rapping%20Sounds.pdf Dr Barrie Colvin seems to be a chemist by profession. On his vimeo page, he...

First off all, my forum nickname is not intended to ridicule the subject of poltergeists. I just thought it was funny how these words from my mother tongue have become "technical terms" in English. Secondly, thank you for agreeing to be interviewed on The Paracast and for the time, effort and...
