Flying stones. Breaking china. Bells ringing with no hand on the rope. The archive's poltergeist cases run from Andrew Mackie's farm at Rerrick in 1695 to Culver City in 1974. Again and again a young person sits at the centre, like the servant in the Stockwell Ghost of 1772 or Esther Cox in the Great Amherst Mystery. Researchers call it recurrent spontaneous psychokinesis. Frank Podmore of the Society for Psychical Research saw an adolescent playing tricks. Andrew Lang, writing on the Durweston case, was less sure.
