O knihe

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 phenom-
enon 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.
