What is a poltergeist?
The word poltergeist is a German word that stands for noisy ghost or spirit. It is said to be responsible for physical disturbances and turmoil. Many claim that poltergeists are capable of physical abuse like hitting, pinching, or tripping people as well as moving objects, and making noises like knocking on doors. They traditionally are described as troublesome, and they haunt a person versus a location. Even though the name of these entities have been tagged to Germany lore, some variations of poltergeist activities are found in many different cultures. Early claims of spirits attacking and harassing their victims date back to the 1st century, but the name of poltergeists only started to become more common in the early 17th century. Some believe that tales of poltergeists are only hoaxes, and some others think that it is just illusion, memory lapses, or wishful thinking. But for some, this is a very real and terrifying reality.

Do people believe in curses?
Most people today say they don’t believe in curses. But if you consider the prevalence of curses in today’s media; it suggests that this concept still has a hold on many peoples psyches, and that many still believe that this could happen to them. From a scientific perspective, there is a rational explanation behind why people could believe they are cursed. For example, studies show that people who believe they are cursed come up with this idea due to their own thinking patterns, or from the desire to make sense of the world around them. Science also tells us that if a person does believe in curses that this belief is often reinforced by other psychological tendencies. There is no scientific evidence to support a supernatural base for curses, but the belief of a curse has powerful impact of people. And despite evidence to the contrary, many stories of curses are very compelling. Today we are going to here some of these stories, and after hearing them you can decide…are curses actually real?
