My Paranormal Investigation - The Old North Church and the USS Constitution

All you need is love.
I have heard this theory before. Do you have any thoughts on what seems to give this energy some intelligence? For example, it might slam a particular door or seem to target a articular person. Or it could burn or throw certain religious symbols but not random items.

Or do you see this as just random energy release?

Although I haven't personally witnessed any poltergeist activity based on this second theory, I've heard that intense emotional stress plays a role. Another name for it is spontaneous recurring psychokinesis. It's a theory that suggests that extreme emotional tension can inadvertently project outwards in the form of mental energy, which can affect the physical world and cause poltergeist activity.

But, as I previously stated, I have more experience with the first theory and believe it to be the most likely explanation for almost all poltergeist activity, but I could be wrong. Learning about this particular phenomenon is fascinating, as is all things paranormal.

I wonder if this second type could be some gremlin level entity that feeds off of psychic emotional energy of a high stressed or highly emotional individual. That might explain why it has seemingly intelligent targets and methods. Disbursement of psychic energy without intelligence would probably act without patterns or direction.

Just speculation.

I think that's a good theory, George-ananda.
