Yes, her children were really the biggest victims. I feel so sorry for them, and I couldn’t find out much info on them. Thanks so much!

Yes. The theory is the hormones girls deal with during puberty sets them off. Who knows, but there has to be some connection. That would would be really creepy, especially at that age. WOW on the lack of footprints and the door being unlocked. That’s awesome, lol!

Very cool story! I also lived in a haunted house and that happened all the time…doors being opened. My dad always blamed me for it! I was 13 at the time and there was a lot of paranormal activity going on. I, too, have read that poltergeist activity is prevalent in homes where there is an adolescent! Maybe it’s because our hormones are out of whack and somehow we open a door to the other side? Who knows. I just know that that house scared the heck out of me…or as you say, the bejesus! No doubt about it that spirit hauntings are real!

Never can resist sharing! (smile) The book I mentioned here, No Matter What (it’s about a little girl who was reincarnated to save her spirit which is haunting her ancestral home!) will be out this fall I’m hoping! But if you like books on ghosts, you might like Be Still, My Love, http://amzn.com/B006LXOZHO, about a grieving medium who travels to a haunted resort on the coast of Maine and gets involved in more than she bargained for. I look forward to reading future posts of your blog. And you should check out the Audrey Rose movie but of course, the book is soooo much better!

Occasionally I’d get glimpses of it outside my window that scared the bejesus out of me, but all our poltergeist did was continually open a particular door. My dad put baby powder on the floor all around the inside and outside of the door, in case it was a burglar or I was unlocking the door and opening it in my sleep. No footprints – and the door was unlocked and ajar in the morning.

I do believe in spooks – whether *I* conjured it, as an adolescent, or not.

I don’t remember the other woman’s name. I saw the case on one of those paranormal documentaries. I believe the events took place in Arizona or California. I will do some research, and if I find it, I’ll email it to you.

I do, too. I think it was real, although poltergeist have always been a bit confusing to me. I think it’s fascinating how our emotions and energy can affect things around us, and I do believe that’s a big part of hauntings as well.

Wow! I’ve never heard of that other case. Do you remember the woman’s name? And I’m going to read Audrey Rose. Once again, it’s something I haven’t read, lol.

Love this movie. It’s a bit dated, too, but still creepy!

I’ve read both Audrey Rose books and have seen the movie. The movie, of course, will be dated in 2011…but it is worth watching. Or you should read the book.

Great post. I had forgotten about this movie to be honest.

I’ve not seen the Audrey Rose movie, but it sounds really good. Would love to hear more about your book! I’m always looking for good ghost books. I’m going to have to add that to my list. Hollywood definitely sensationalized the Entity, and the ending was frustrating. Completely agree about the stuff she attracted. I think that goes on more than people realized. As for being hurt, that’s hard to say. I can’t imagine it being real, but then again, who’s to say?

Thanks so much!
