Now, for the first time, an astonishing array of historical Scottish poltergeist cases are gathered together, from the Middle Ages to the modern period, unearthing many episodes that have remained neglected for centuries. Some were no doubt hoaxes, but in others, multiple witnesses testified to disturbing events enacted over months. Whatever the true cause of the events, the historical evidence from Scotland suggests that poltergeist phenomena is undoubtedly real. 538 System requirements: Adobe Digital editions. 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 Poltergeists|zScotland|xHistory. 650 0 Poltergeists|zScotland. 650 7 BODY, MIND & SPIRIT / Unexplained Phenomena.|2bisacsh 655 0 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aHolder, Geoff.|tPoltergeist over Scotland.|dStroud : History, 2013.|z9780752482835 (pbk.) : |w(Uk)016191144 914 frd00011846
