Rosenheim poltergeist
It came in Rosenheim acquired by the events of the first reports. Disappointed they were only preliminary reports, and they lacked a lot of important details. Fortunately, I also have a few subsequent summary, so the information I received a combination of the case in my view, quite a good overview. Source between noticed only one of the conflict, the detail. Like many here that were signed in the reports and opinions were not to address the subject matter, even if they have gathered large amounts of the investigation.
That, so far, perhaps the most studied poltergeist phenomenon occurred in Bavaria, Rosenheim In the winter of 1967/68. Venue was Adam's law firm. In the summer of the office were found to disturb the phones in operation. Often, tolls for all of the four phone in the same time, although no one has been to call there. Calls were interrupted frequently, and telephone charges were unusually high.
In November, began to arise in new and powerful phenomena, such as the roof 2.5 m above the fluorescent tubes went out little difference. The examination found that the pipes were turned mortgage of 90 degrees. Auto-fuses went off little difference without perceptible reason. There was heard hard bangs different parts of the office, not for any articles or other surfaces, but as though directly from the air.
Initially, was supposed to disruptions caused by defects in the electricity grid. In electricity generating expert came to investigate the case and installed 16.11.1967 recorder, which could be measured in an apartment grid, optionally, either tension or the flow of power. Inappropriate treatment to prevent the recorder was used to begin a long-time sealed, when the paper and a pen were not reach protecting glass below. When the sealing of later shut down the paper to facilitate the exchange, the so-printing process is not subject to adjustments.
Recorders showed raised peaks, as well as suspension of the power consumption and, at times, the pen hit the top of the measuring up. The results, however, were inexplicable features, which were also seen attached to the reports of recorded images. Although the recorder seemed to 50 ampere flows, as fuses are not went off. The other hand, fuses went off without a corresponding peaks recorder. As a result, Fuse went off and chart peaks did not correspond to each other.
The chard recorder paper was the speed of 1 mm / min, and the peaks accounted for more than one case, even a minute's time limits for the corresponding loops and arches. The pen is not the structure of rigidity due to have been able to move the paper direction of travel, so that the loops were due to confidence in the paper circulation. The paper periodic increase in off the chassis refers to the fact that the pen came a couple of times tears the paper. Sealed chart the paper could not reach a deal without the opening of the seal, and without the sealing of the paper moving trace describe, it would have been very difficult.
The telephone became a researcher to review the contacts. He installed a counter to record all calls to an office. The calculator will register the phone calls, sometimes in relation to the witness, although no one has had a phone conversation. In one stage, there were only one telephone to facilitate the inspection. Although the number choose was locked, so phone calls, still registered.
The telephone company the researcher concluded that the lines are operating properly, but calls to office telephoned the unexplained way. In this case, had no other choice than mechanical force effect phones. For a number of springs had to press the appropriate order to select the number. For example, Miss Between was, at worst, played 32 times for 10 minutes during the 0119 number, and sometimes playing 4-5 minutes, all in all, hundreds of calls. Behind your calls had to be some kind of motivation, when it'll be able to give impetus to the mechanical repeated the same number.
On Monday, 20.11.1967 hard bang after the head of the room roof fell to the floor lamps and was broken. Since falling lamps was considered too dangerous to human health, all of them in an exchange of incandescent lamps after the case. For light bulbs burst broken, and sometimes also broke the glass lampshades. Kato will depend on the lamps swing often, sometimes so severely that the touched the ceiling. Swinging lamp beside the roof hung a plastic pendulum not moved. Copiers developing solution leaked out, sometimes inexplicably floor.
The Director of the devastation offence due to "unknown", after which the police also came to the spot to investigate the situation. The phenomena occurred only during work hours, so someone of the population was likely to blame. Soon discovered that the phenomena occurred only when the 19-year old Annemarie Schneider was there. Bulbs burst Proximity her so that she often received the fragments on the ground.
One of the owners wondered disturbances taking place in and became a to say: "Now, we are no longer only missing, the images that move the wall"! And, indeed, and soon they started to move. Pictures and calendars swung mortgages, rotated around the hooks, and sometimes fell. Paintings operating margins in general, when no one is occurring there to watch us. Some people, however, able to see some fluctuations, which occurred in rapid movement. He asserted to have seen everything so well that no one here had not been able to give rise to movements in the normal way.
Parapsychology Professor Hans Bender became the site of two assistant 1.12.1967. The electrical equipment inexplicably missed because of disruptions he called in addition to the site of physicist who measured electricity grid and office rooms phenomena with a four-channel memory oscilloscope. It was measured using a network of electric current, changes in the electric, magnetic fields and sounds in the air using a microphone. Fast met because of the memory oscilloscope did not enter the entire time, but the recording was launched from a visit to small changes in measurable levels of channels.
Oscilloscope did not confirm the chart peaks and measurements, found no environmental them. Any chart of the results can be definitely conclude that the unexplained peaks are not caused by mains duty shocks, but mechanical force effect recorder. The mechanical effect of also refers to the fact that the broken light bulbs was the incandescent wire sometimes intact.
Parapsychology researchers tried to describe the video at an office of phenomena. They got saved swinging of lighting and bangs, but the tables video recording movement was not successful. Sensijaan staff managed to Video of one 120 (or the first report of 320)-degree rotation.
In many circumstances, it appeared that the phenomena avoided directly detected in becoming. Almost always they occurred in a place which no one does not become perceived, and the attention to the subject of locations, is generally not happened. For example, when the movement is often focused on table video camera, so it does not move at all. But it moved as soon as the video tape ran out and the record came to a halt.
When the disruption was caused Annemarie was found, so to reduce the damage he was granted a vacation. However, she wanted to go to work after the Christmas. During such visits, the course began to happen again, and even more strongly. Physics professor saw how the drawer came out to himself. Two times over by 3.5 zentner, or around 175 kg of filing cabinets, weighing approximately 30 cm out of the wall. Pictures fell down and lamps were broken more dense pace.
Annemarie, and opposite him seated in an office worker complained of sometimes fierce sense of corporate press one of the two will be replaced and became a point appears in the skin ear neck until reaching reddish region.
When Annemarie moved to another employer's office, the phenomena of the so-Adami, ran out of the office. They continued in a moment of his weak at home, and is also likely to be the new office. At least 40 spot was the person identified in Rosenheim phenomena, accompanied by parapsychology scientists, engineers, policemen, doctors, psychiatrists, physicians, psychologists, office staff, customers and others.
There was also sceptical magician Allan, who noticed the studies used plastic pendulum nylon string depend on the roof. Thus, the book Allan, Schiff und Kramer: "Falsche Geister - echte Schwindler" was declared the whole affair spoofing. " Quite a bold claim, where a whole, taking into account. It would have been a miracle, if not central, and other staff should be strictly observed and the findings of the investigation, and even the criminal act.
The owner sued the book's publisher's right, because he himself and his staff came to the White Paper on charges of cheating. Such licences shall be the basis of the right of staff to be involved, and banned the book. Trial of the studies confirmed the information that is obtained, when and as a result, it was found that the principle of non been captured from fraudulent phenomena causing.
Connection with the case arose in many other poltergeist phenomenon emerging issues:
1. Phenomena took place only when the agent was on the spot.
2. Phenomena happened mostly in the absolute vicinity of the agent and they became fewer the distance increases.
3. Phenomena avoided the direct detection of time, but the avoiding was not complete.
4. Those would lead to the conclusion that behind them was sort of an intellect.
5. The central was the "psychological tensions."
