Poltergiest Stages
This
chart goes by levels that are accumulative as the levels progress. This means
for example, that in level 3 the poltergeist will have all the characteristics of a level
3, but also have the characteristics of levels 1 & 2.
Level 1
Description: Referred to as Senses Attack because in the early stages of a
poltergeist the activity mainly revolves around the human body's basic six
Attributes: Cold spots - Strange noises - Odd odors and smells - Hearing
footsteps - Unusual animal activity (dogs/cats running from rooms, etc) - Feelings of
being watched
Level 2
Description: This level is where the noises and smells begin to turn into
something more direct. Everything is still at its basic level but turned up a few notches.
Attributes: Whispers - Laughs or giggles - Moans or shrieking - Moving shadows -
Breezes in closed areas - Visible clouds (base apparitions) - Strong static electricity.
Marks on floors or walls, (Not Writings).
Level 3
Description: At this stage the poltergeist begins to make it's presence felt.
The difference is that in the first two levels it could be said that it was the mind
playing tricks, but now, it's hard not to notice something real is happening. This is the
level that the classic haunting falls into.
Attributes: Lights and other electrical appliances turning ON/OFF - Unseen hands
grabbing or touching people - Writings on walls or pattern markings - Doors that
OPEN/CLOSE or LOCK/UNLOCK - Hearing voices or words clearly - Full apparitions or dark
figures - Showing levels of communication with living people - Strange telephone calls
Level 4
Description:
This is where an advanced poltergeist begins to gain momentum. Moving closer to the
danger level and picking up a clearer consciousness. It may seem that it's only a harmless
ghost being playful. However, if it is a poltergeist, it may be gathering knowledge of
what the people around it consider frightening. At the next level it will use the
information gained here in a violent manner to create an atmosphere of absolute terror.
Which it then will use to feed off of and build its own energy
Attributes: Flying objects - Moving objects - Objects disappearing and reappearing
elsewhere - shaking furnature - Fire starting - Appearing as frightening entities -
Pushing or shaking people - creating visions or illusions - speaking in ordering tones -
People feel dizzy, nausea or sick to stomach. Windows, mirrors or other household objects
breaking for no reason - Levitation
Level 5
Description: At this level the poltergeist is at its highest energy point and
should be considered dangerous. Violent and/or threatening actions begin at this stage.
The time frame here, and all stages listed, will vary determining on the poltergeist. It
could end in days, months or years. After this stage the poltergeist will go dormant and
then begin this cycle over again starting
