They could be rapping and spontaneous noises. Another form would be [b]apparitions[/b] such as black shapes or ghostly appearances. Sometimes [b]apports[/b] had been reported in cases. The spontaneous manifestation of objects (e.g., small stones falling on house roofs) without apparent source. There are also documented cases that reported [b]levitations[/b]. People had been lifted into the air without any aid. Reports had also shown [b]moving objects[/b] in cases when items moved by themselves and spontaneously. Occasionally, people had been [b]attacked[/b] by the poltergeist. Scratches and bites are common skin markings. Others phenomena include both small fires and leaking of water.

Working as a Manager for Uhaul, when I do get spare time I sit with my ouija board, do as many paranormal investigations as I can, and research everything and anything paranormal. I am also very interested in railroads and model trains in general.
