Introduction : things that go bump in the night -- What is a poltergeist? -- A smidgeon of objectivity -- Mischief-making spirits of the Middle Ages -- The knocking and noise-making dead -- Deviltry, magic, sorcery, and poltergeists -- Brownies and poltergeists -- Two striking tales -- Singular manifestations.
"Exploring accounts of poltergeists from ancient Greece and Rome, medieval Europe, and the modern world, Claude Lecouteux finds that while our interpretations of poltergeists may change, the manifestations always follow a similar course and evolution."--P. [4] of cover.
