Poltergeists are the most physical and tangible phenomena in the
field of paranormal research. "Poltergeist" is German for a noisy
ghost, an entity that can throw objects, toss furniture around the
room, and even attack people. Some poltergeists have demonstrated
incendiary abilities and caused fires. In certain instances,
poltergeists have developed voices that give evidence of a clever,
mischievous intelligence behind the phenomenon. For thousands of
years, poltergeist victims, exorcists, clerics, and psychical
researchers have debated whether the frightening, violent
disturbances are caused by ghosts, demons, elementals, or some
burst of psychokinetic energy released by the human mind in an
expression of frustration, hostility, repression, or corrupted
creativity. In 1965, Brad Steiger's newspaper column on the
paranormal attracted the attention of Ivan T. Sanderson, noted
zoologist, Fortean, and explorer of the strange and unknown.
Sanderson encouraged Steiger to write a book dealing exclusively
with poltergeist cases, and with Sanderson as his mentor, Steiger
agreed to enter the eerie reality that is the domain of the most
bizarre phenom- enon in all of psychical research. Released
originally in 1966 - but now with a Foreword by Loren Coleman and
an Afterword by Brad Steiger - "Strange Guests" has the distinction
of being the first of Steiger's now more than 160 books that dealt
exclusively with the paranormal.
