Taking a Look at Poltergeist

It is here where we see Kingston use the term "ghost" in a manner to mean "stranger." She writes, "America has been full of machines and ghosts – Taxi Ghosts, Bus Ghosts, Police Ghosts, Fire Ghosts, Meter Reader Ghosts, Tree Trimming Ghosts Five-and-Dime Ghosts." This description gives the reader the culture shock that someone who has just moved to the US can get. It may be a very unnerving experience to be surrounded by so many strange and alien things.

Through out the short novella, 'The Turn of the Screw,' by Henry James, the governess continually has encounters with apparitions that seem to only appear to her. As Miles' behavior in school worsens so that he is prevented from returning, and as Flora becomes ill with a fever, the governess blames these ghosts for corrupting the children, Miles and Flora, and labels them as evil and manipulative forces in their lives. But why is it that these ghosts only seem to appear to the governess even when the children are present at the time of the sightings by the governess? Evidence from the short story leads the reader to believe that the ghosts are not real but are merely the evidence of the fragmenting sanity of the governess.

Many people believe not. Ghosts do not actually exist. They don't make any sense, if you can walk through walls, then why can you pick things up, shouldn't it just slide threw your hand? If a ghost is something that is stuck here after it dies because it needs to finish an important task on earth, then does it go to heaven when its done? If so, can people tell when the ghost is gone and when it has left the earth and finished its task or do people still think its there? in my opinion they are not real, but spirits are, a spirit is something that is just here. After some people die they don't know where to go or what to do. When you die, some people linger while they figure out where to go and what to do. So they stay here, the only reason they can stay is because after you die all the energy leaves your body making you a spirit. Spirits can't walk through walls and, if they could, then why do they open doors. See it does not make any since why walk through a wall when you can just simply open a door. Many spirits don't even know they are dead until they try to come in contact with a living

Ghosts are not there just to haunt, they have a purpose (same goes for other supernatural creatures found in literature)

A violent spirit is more typically know as a poltergeist and is has been shown in one study that they impact sixty-two percent of teens under eighteen, living away from home. Also, poltergeist activity tends to be person centered, however it can be associated with a house. One such case of it be house centered was the Amityville Horror house. This house had supposedly such bad activity that the owners, sold the house and immediately left. Since then the story of the house was turn in books and even movies. Scientist try to explain poltergeist activity with ground setting, which can cause objects to slide, fall from shelves or walls, appear to be thrown and furniture can even jump. Many things that are associated with ground settling are also report in the supposed poltergeist

There are many mysteries throughout everywhere. They have scared for centuries or maybe only years. Although some become legends. They spook reads. Although it's up to you to believe or call them myths, but some things cannot be explained. No scientists can explain ghosts completely, there is too much evidence and only not enough. Would you believe in ghosts after an encounter? mostly likely. If you believe or not believe something can't be proved so ill let you be the judge if its myth or mystery.

Have you ever heard of a ghost? Have you ever heard of a poltergeist? Well if you have, you might know about The Great Amherst Mystery of 1878. The Great Amherst Mystery was about a woman who goes by the name of Either Cox. Either just moved into her new home and was immediately struck by a sequence of hauntings by what people now know as a poltergeist. This is one of the most witnessed paranormal event recorded.

Ghosts can be created through several methods from mentality to death. The narrator in the story Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong Kingston has her own ghosts, as do I. Her ghosts are generated through the past before and after her birth, while my ghosts are simply people from my past, such as Andrew and Jordan. Maxine's and my ghosts share numerous similarities and differences, such as mysteriousness, regrets, and broken hearts/dreams, but they are ours to conquer. "I am telling on her...." (pg. 16) as Maxine and I can agree, we are revealing the ghosts to the world.

Ghosts, as with any other misunderstood group or people, have been preyed upon by others without understanding. The lack of knowledge about ghosts and haunting activity has led people astray as to what they really are. What Hollywood and television portrays is very inaccurate and cannot be relied upon as truthful. They show these spirits of the dead as being evil in nature, filled with malice and harmful intent. But that this is not the case. The field of paranormal activity is amazing. It has caught the imagination of people from every walk of life. It has always interested me and has influenced me to pick this as the topic for my research. Through this research I wish to uncover the truth about the existence of ghosts.

When looking at the likes of Ghostbusters and King Kong, understanding all of the possibilities a remake offers is essential. In any case, not everybody is energetically anticipating the new remake of "Ghostbusters," which will release on July 15, 2016 by Sony Pictures. The remake will be featuring an all-new female cast which in response was heavily criticised and not received well by many at all. Almost immediately after its leading women were announced in January 2015, it has been the subject of extraordinarily negative feedback from a subset of prospective moviegoers who, however have not seen the film, say that it should not have been changed and that its female cast is an admission to political accuracy. From the earliest days in pre-production,

A ghost, according to the article “History of Ghosts” on History.com, is a person's spirit once it has separated itself from the body after death. Also known as specters, ghosts continue existing even after the heart stops and the corpse is cold, and they fall under the category of paranormal phenomena. When something is considered paranormal, it simply means that science has no explanation for it. So if science can't explain it, it can't be real, right? Not necessarily. It just means that it hasn't been proven a fact, it's all in theory. But Jack Porter makes a valid point in his article, “The Study of Paranormal Phenomenon is a Legitimate Science”, when he says, “It is important to remember the Big Bang is a theory, but that is still

There are people, unfortunately including some intuitive practitioners, who believe in evil spirits, spirit possessions, and sprit haunting.

The critics from psychanalytic perspective claim that the existence of ghosts is the governess’s hysterical delusion. The ghost is the projection of governess's own sexual hysteria, which resulted from the conflict between native romantic impulses and idealistic innocence required by Victorian society (Renner). The inexperienced governess encounters the "handsome," "bold," young gentleman with "charming ways with women" (James, 4) and she

In The Turn of The Screw by Henry James the governess keeps seeing these mystical beings that may be real, or in her head. The article Believing Is Seeing by Barry L. Beyerstein shows a message that people can see a mystical being and their are explanations behind their citations that prove the appearance they see are not real. Whether you believe in ghosts, or believe that ghosts are fake, I will prove that ghosts are not real in The Turn of the Screw and how informational texts contribute to these types of explanations.
