Most researchers will tell you that poltergeists are
“camera-shy”, and its true. They rarely display their dubious
talents in public or allow themselves to be filmed
or photographed in action. The SOUTH SHIELDS POLTERGEIST
was different, and allowed the authors and a number of
other researchers to film, photograph and audio-record it
as it went about its malign business; terrifying, assaulting
and threatening a young family which was forced to share
its home with an invisible intruder that came perilously close
to wrecking their lives.

“People who deny the truth of the poltergeist phenomenon
really have no idea what they’re talking about. I’ve seen it first-hand,
filmed it horribly slashing a man’s torso and throwing objects
around with ease. Mike and I have heard it speak - even
recorded its voice on tape. Believe us when we tell you,
this entity was all too real”.
