Poltergeists are the most physical and tangible phenomena in the field of paranormal research.

In certain instances, poltergeists have developed voices that give evidence of a clever, mischievous intelligence behind the phenomenon.

Produktbeschreibung
Poltergeists are the most physical and tangible phenomena in the field of paranormal research. "Poltergeist" is German for a noisy ghost, an entity that can throw objects, toss furniture around the room, and even attack people. Some poltergeists have demonstrated incendiary abilities and caused fires. In certain instances, poltergeists have developed voices that give evidence of a clever, mischievous intelligence behind the phenomenon. For thousands of years, poltergeist victims, exorcists, clerics, and psychical researchers have debated whether the frightening, violent disturbances are caused by ghosts, demons, elementals, or some burst of psychokinetic energy released by the human mind in an expression of frustration, hostility, repression, or corrupted creativity. In 1965, Brad Steiger's newspaper column on the paranormal attracted the attention of Ivan T. Sanderson, noted zoologist, Fortean, and explorer of the strange and unknown. Sanderson encouraged Steiger to write a book dealing exclusively with poltergeist cases, and with Sanderson as his mentor, Steiger agreed to enter the eerie reality that is the domain of the most bizarre phenomenon in all of psychical research. Released originally in 1966 but now with a Foreword by Loren Coleman and an Afterword by Brad Steiger, Strange Guests has the distinction of being the first of Steiger's now more than 160 books that dealt exclusively with the paranormal.

Autorenporträt
BRAD STEIGER (February 19, 1936 - May 6, 2018) liked to be thought of as a "sharer" rather than a teacher or preacher of metaphysics. He was pleased that the name given to him when he and his wife were adopted by the Repositor of Wisdom into the Wolf Clan Oan of the Seneca Tribe, Iroquois Nation, was Hat-yas-swas, "he testified." From 1957 - 67 Mr. Steiger taught on both the high school and college level. Post 1967 he was engaged in a full-time exploration of what others might term "borderland sciences," "the paranormal," or even "the world of the weird," which Steiger called "the greater reality which we all share but cannot always explain." His work has appeared in numerous publications and periodicals in this country and abroad, and he is a biographee in many international reference works. Among Mr. Steiger's nearly fifty books are "The Psychic Feats of Olof Jonsson;" "Revelation: The Divine Fire: Medicine Power:" "The American Indian's Revival of His Spiritual Heritage and Its Relevance for Modern Man" and "Mysteries of Time and Space." In 1974 Mr. Steiger received the Genie Award for Metaphysical Writer of the Year.
